In the article the structure and phase composition of the material based on nano- and micro-sized cubic boron nitride (cBN) obtained under high pressure and high temperature conditions from mechanically activated graphite-like boron nitride (hBN) in the presence of aluminum (Al), which plays the role of an initiator for the phase transformation hBN → cBN, are investigated. It has been shown that the use of mechanical activation contributes to the formation of cBN nuclei in hBN, which makes it possible to increase the dispersion of the final product. The technological parameters of the cBN synthesis and the amount of Al have a significant effect on the structure of the material as well as the content of the cubic BN phase in it. The increase in the pressure for the hBN (MA) -10% Al system from 2.5 to 5.5 GPa and the temperature from 1550 °C to 1750 °C contributes to the increase of the content of the cBN phase from 10-15% to 90%. In this case, the size of cBN grains synthesized at pressures of 2.5 and 5.5 GPa is in the range of 200-500 nm and 40-120 nm, respectively. The increase in the amount of Al, temperature and duration for the cBN synthesis leads to the formation of large cBN grains with a size of about 10-50 μm.
