摘要:
An improved method for synthesizing superabrasive particles provides high quality industrial superabrasive particles with high yield and a narrow size distribution. The synthesis method includes forming a substantially homogeneous mixture of raw material and catalyst material or layers of raw material and metal catalyst. A plurality of crystalline seeds is placed in a predetermined pattern in the mixture or one of the layers to form a growth precursor. The growth precursor is maintained at a temperature and pressure at which the superabrasive crystal is thermodynamically stable for a time sufficient for a desired degree of growth. Advantageously, the patterned placement of crystalline seeds and disclosed processes allow for production of various morphologies of synthetic diamonds, including octahedral and cubic diamonds, and improved growth conditions generally. As a result, the grown superabrasive particles typically have a high yield of high quality particles and a narrow distribution of particle sizes.

A cutting device (10) comprises a base (12) having a working side (14) that is oriented to face a workpiece (19) from which material is to be removed. A plurality of individual cutting elements (16) are arranged on the working side of the base, with each cutting element having a peak that comprises at least one cutting edge (18) that is formed from a polycrystalline superhard material. The peaks of the cutting elements are aligned in a common plane (20).

Methods of maximizing retention of superabrasive particles in a metal matrix are disclosed. The superabrasive particles (10) may be chemically bonded with the metal matrix (15) to a degree which holds the superabrasive particles (10) in the metal matrix (15) without substantially degrading the superabrasive particles (10). Substantially degrading the superabrasive particles (10) can be avoided by protecting the superabrasive particles (10) from over-bonding during the chemical bonding process.

The present invention describes a diamond tool with diamond bonded chemically by a braze that contains either Cr, Mn, SI or Al or mixtures or alloys thereof. The diamond tool is made by infiltrating the braze into a matrix metal that contains diamond in either form of grits or polyerystalline bodies.
摘要:
Superabrasive tools and methods for the making thereof are disclosed and described. In one aspect, superabrasive particles are chemically bonded to a matrix support material according to a predetermined pattern by a braze alloy. The brazing alloy may be provided as a powder, thin sheet, or sheet of amorphous alloy. A template having a plurality of apertures arranged in a predetermined pattern may be used to place the superabrasive particles on a given substrate or matrix support material.

CMP pad dressers and their methods of manufacture are disclosed. One aspect of the present invention provides a CMP pad dresser (20) having improved superabrasive grit retention in a resin layer. The CMP pad includes a resin layer (14), superabrasive grit (12) held in the resin layer (14) such that an exposed portion (26) of each superabrasive grit (12) protrudes from the resin layer (14), and a metal coating layer (16) disposed between each superabrasive grit (12) and the resin layer (14), where the exposed portions (26) are substantially free of the metal coating layer (16). The metal coating layer (16) acts to increase the retention of the superabrasive grit (12) in the resin layer (14) as compared to superabrasive grit (12) absent the metal coating layer (16).

The diamond tool (10) is made by infiltrating the braze (28) into a matrix metal (24) that contains diamond (20) in either form of grits or polycrystalline bodies.
摘要:
An abrasive tool (10) that contains abrasive particles (20) distributed in a predetermined pattern. Such a pattern is produced by fabricating two-dimensional slices (14, 16, 18) and assembling them. Abrasive particles (20) may be incorporated during the process of making these slices, or they may be planted afterwards into these slices which contain matrix powder. The planting may be guided by a template with apertures laid in a specific pattern.
摘要:
High pressure synthesis of various crystals such as diamond, cBN and the like can be carried out using temperature gradient methods wherein the reaction assembly (210) is oriented substantially perpendicular to gravity (224) during application of high pressure. Orienting the reaction assembly (210) in this manner can avoid detrimental effects of gravity on the molten catalyst, e.g., convection, hence increasing available volumes for growing high quality crystals. Multiple reaction assemblies can be oriented in series or parallel, each reaction assembly having one or more growth cells suitable for growth of high quality crystals. The unique split die design of the present invention allows for particularly effective results and control of temperature and growth conditions for individual crystals.
摘要:
CMP pad dressers (100) with superabrasive particles (130, 120, 110) oriented into an attitude that controls CMP pad performance, and methods associated therewith are disclosed and described. The controlled CMP pad performance may be selected to optimize CMP pad dressing rate and dresser wear.
