Abstract
Nanostructure and mechanical properties of bulk nanocristalline cubic boron nitride have been studied by transmission electron microscopy, and micro- and nanoindentation. The obtained data on hardness, elastic properties and fracture toughness clearly indicate that nano-cBN belongs to a family of advanced ultra-hard materials.
