One object of the present invention is to provide a wire drawing die excellent in strength and wear resistance. The wire drawing die has a core formed using highly hard diamond polycrystalline body made substantially only of diamond and produced by directly converting a raw material composition including a non-diamond type carbon material into diamond and sintering the diamond at an ultra high pressure and an ultra high temperature without adding a sintering aid or a catalyst, the polycrystalline body having a mixed construction including fine-grained diamond crystals with a maximum grain size of less than or equal to 100 nm and an average grain size of less than or equal to 50 nm and plate-like or particulate coarse-grained diamond crystals with a minimum grain size of greater than or equal to 50 nm and a maximum grain size of less than or equal to 10000 nm.

A polycrystalline superhard material comprises a sintered mass of superhard grains having a mean superhard grain contiguity of at least 62 percent and at most 92 percent. There is also disclosed a method of making such a polycrystalline superhard material. The method comprises providing a precursor body comprising superhard grains and interstices between the superhard grains, and introducing additive particles into the interstices to form a pre-sinter body. The pre-sinter body is submitted to a temperature and pressure at which superhard material is thermodynamically stable, sintering it and forming polycrystalline superhard material.

The present invention provides a method for the fabrication of high performance densified nanocrystalline bulk thermoelectric material, comprising: (1) preparing a thermoelectric alloy nanopowders by a ball milling process to achieve an average crystal size of 5 -30 nm, and (2) preparing the nanocrystalline bulk thermoelectric material by high pressure sintering at a temperature of 0.25 - 0.8T m under a pressure of 0.8 - 6.0 GPa for 10 - 120 minutes, to achieve a relative density of 90 - 100 % and an average grain size of 10 - 50 nm. The method is easy to operate and allows the production of a thermoelectric material with a ZT value higher than 2. In addition, the method can ensure both good thermoelectric properties and high density, and therefore have important applications for energy industry.

A method of producing a composite diamond compact comprising a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) compact bonded to a cemented carbide substrate is provided. The method includes the steps of: providing a PCD table, preferably a PCD table with diamond-to-diamond bonding and a porous microstructure in which the pores are empty of second phase material bringing together the PCD table and a cemented carbide substrate in the presence of a bonding agent to form an unbonded assembly; subjecting the unbonded assembly to an initial compaction at a pressure of at least 4.5 GPa and a temperature below the melting point of the bonding agent for a period of at least 150 seconds; and thereafter subjecting the unbonded assembly to a temperature above the melting point of the bonding agent and a pressure of at least 4.5 GPa for a time sufficient for the bonding agent to become molten and bond the PCD table to the substrate to form a composite diamond compact.

A method of producing a PCD body includes the step of providing a region of coarser diamond particles between a source of binder phase and a region of fine grained diamond particles having a particle size less than 2 μm. The binder phase is caused to infiltrate the diamond mass through the region of coarser diamond particles under elevated temperature and pressure conditions suitable to produce PCD. The invention further provides for a PCD diamond composite manufactured by the method of the invention wherein the PCD body is substantially free of abnormal diamond growth
摘要:
An improved high pressure apparatus (10) can include a plurality of complementary die segments (12, 14). The die segments can have inner surfaces (16) which are shaped to form a die chamber (20) upon assembly of the die segments (12, 14). A pair of anvils (70, 72) can be oriented such that an anvil is at each end of the die chamber (20). To prevent the die segments (12, 14) from being forced apart during movement of the anvils (70, 72), force members can be connected to the die segments (12, 14). The force members (21, 23) can apply discrete forces to the die segments (12, 14) sufficient to retain the die segments in substantially fixed positions relative to each other during application of force by the pair of anvils (70, 72). Using such a high pressure apparatus can achieve pressures as high as 10 GPa with improved useful die life and larger reaction volumes.
