Performance is different. CBN mainly processes black high-hardness metals such as fired hard and cast steel (iron), which can resist high temperature (over 1,000 degrees) and maintains a hardness of 8,000hV. CBN is a good tool material for improving production efficiency and processing difficult materials.
PCD is mainly used for processing non-ferrous metals and other non-ferrous metals. It can grind a very sharp edge and get a better processing surface. Generally, it can reach 0.2 smoothness.
The main processing object of CBN tool is cast iron and hardened steel. The application industry is also mainly in the automotive engine and bearing industry.
CBN tool compared with PCD tool, is easier to process, and, with the promotion of energy saving in the automotive industry, car engine using aluminum alloy matrix car is also more and more, so, CBN in car engine milling was invaded by PCD blade.
Of course, with the decline of CBN tool cost, in the automotive brake disc field, CBN car blade also replaced the traditional carbide car blade share. It should be said that with the increasing number of CBN materials, the traditional hard material turning and grinding field, CBN tool share will keep rising trend.

PCD tool is polycrystalline diamond tool, PCBN tool is polycrystalline cubic boron nitride tool, are synthetic polycrystalline products.
PCD tool is mainly used for non-ferrous metal and its alloy, composite materials, artificial plate, graphite and carbon fiber, non-metallic materials and other difficult to process materials processing. PCBN tool is mainly used for ferrous metals such as iron, steel, cast iron, hardened steel and other good effect.
