Abstract
A study of the formation of cubic boron nitride shows that the alkali and alkaline earth metals and their nitrides are effective catalysts for converting hexagonal boron nitride into cubic. The pressure and temperature required varies with the catalyst, and a minimum of about 45 000 atm and 1500°C has been found to be optimum up to the present time.Keywords
