Conclusions
The loading of wurtzite boron nitride to high static pressures (55–100 kbar) under room-temperature conditions is accompanied by the processes of comminution of polycrystalline powder particles and their monocrystalline grains. Comminution of wurtzite boron nitride particles and grains has been found to take place also during sintering at high pressures and temperatures. The intensity of particle and grain comminution during loading and compression grows with increasing size of the particles in the starting condition. The comminution of particles and grains has a marked effect on structure formation in polycrystalline Geksanit-R alloy sintering.
