An attempt to open a sealed chamber using a Borazon drill fails to make any progress. 4. Borazon replaced aluminium oxide for grinding hardened steels owing to its superior abrasive properties, comparable to that of diamond.5. Wentorf followed up in 1957 with his creation of Borazon , or cubic boron nitride, a material not found in nature. 6. Borazon is used industrially as a substitute for diamond where chemical reactivity or high temperature is a problem in grinding or cutting.7. The materials in the cutters a machinist uses are most commonly high speed steel, tungsten carbide, ceramics, Borazon , and diamond. 8. Borazon was first produced in 1957 by Robert H . Wentorf, Jr ., a physical chemist working for the General Electric Company.9. Borazon was first invented in 1957 by Robert H . Wentorf, Jr ., a physical chemist working for the General Electric Company.10. He is best known as the inventor of cubic boron nitride ( trade name, " Borazon " ), the second-hardest material known.
