Scientific and Practical Centre for Materials Research offers consumers non-regrindable cubic boron nitride composite cutting inserts under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

The plates are designed for processing difficult-to-cut materials (hardened steels, cast irons, etc.).

Knoop hardness - 40 GPa;
Crack resistance – 10.5 MPa × m1/2;
Young's modulus - 740 GPa;
Resistance period for steel (HRC 52..54) - 80 min.

There are no domestic analogues. Replacement of imported products is provided: hard alloy, tool ceramics (USA, Japan, China, Germany, Israel, etc.).

The developed plates have better performance characteristics:
hardness by 12..17%;
crack resistance by 54%;
compressive strength by 30..35%;
elastic modulus (Young's) by 22..23% compared to analogues (composite 10D).

Scope of application (sector of the economy, possible consumers of products): mechanical engineering.

Productivity increases by 10% by reducing the sintering time of cutting inserts.
The cost is reduced by 15% due to the use of CBN powder.
Energy intensity is reduced by 10%; material consumption by 40%.

Currently, the Centre is a leader in the field of solid state physics and physical materials science in the Republic of Belarus.

The main direction of scientific research of the Centre is condensed matter physics; the creation of new magnetic, ferroelectric, semiconductor, metallic, superconducting, superhard and optical materials in the form of crystals, ceramics, disordered systems, nanomaterials and nanostructures corresponds to priority areas of fundamental and applied scientific research and priority areas of scientific and technical activity. The goals and objectives of the Centre are implemented through the implementation of a full innovation cycle, starting from fundamental and applied scientific research and ending with the introduction of scientific and scientific-technical products into production.

The main goal of the Centre is to organize and conduct research and development work in the field of physical and physicochemical materials science, to develop and master the production of new types of competitive products. In accordance with this goal, the objectives of the Centre are:
