Cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material, cutting tool, wear resistant tool, grinding tool, and method of manufacturing cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material

摘要

It is an object to provide a cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material excellent in toughness. A cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material containing fine cubic boron nitride which is granular, has a maximum grain size not greater than 100 nm, and has an average grain size not greater than 70 nm and at least one of plate-shaped cubic boron nitride in a form of a plate having an average major radius not smaller than 50 nm and not greater than 10000 nm and coarse cubic boron nitride which is granular, has a minimum grain size exceeding 100 nm, and has an average grain size not greater than 1000 nm is provided.
