borazon

Borazon is a cubic form of boron nitride (BN), resembling diamond in structure and properties. It is made by heating hexagonal boron nitride (a white powder resembling graphite) to 1,500°C at 65,000 atmospheres pressure. Borazon is as hard as diamond, and more useful industrially because it is more resistant to oxidation and heat.
