Abstract
Abstract There are disclosed methods for preparing cubic boron nitride sintered body. One method involves pyrolyzing borazine and/or a borazine derivative to obtain a boron nitride; mixing said boron nitride and a catalyst composed of a metal and/or metallic compound; and reacting the mixture at a pressure of 3 GPa or more and at a temperature of 700° C. or more. Another method comprises the step of pyrolyzing borazine and/or a borazine derivative to obtain a boron nitride; mixing said boron nitride and a catalyst composed of a metal and/or metallic compound; reacting the mixture at a pressure of 3 GPa or more and at a temperature of 700° C. or more; and removing the catalyst from a formed product. The conversion rate into cubic boron nitride achieved with these methods is as high as 100%, and the obtained cubic boron nitride is highly pure and fine. Also disclosed is a method for preparing boron nitride by pyrolyzing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of borazine and/or a borazine derivative at a temperature of 150° to 700° C. and a pressure of 10 MPa or more.
