摘要： According to the present invention there is provided a method of making a cutting insert with a hole for clamping to a tool holder wherein a superhard abrasive material is sintered and simultaneously bonded to a sintered cemented carbide body with a hole inside a container under elevated pressure and temperature conditions. During sintering the hole is filled with a plug which after sintering is removed.

摘要： A cutting tool for woodworking applications has a cemented carbide substrate and a hard layer bonded to the substrate at high temperature and high pressure, i.e. where diamond or cubic boron nitride is thermodynamically stable. The hard layer comprises polycrystalline diamond and/or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, and a catalyst cobalt phase including adjuvant alloying materials for providing oxidation and corrosion resistance. Typical alloying elements include nickel, aluminum, silicon, titanium, molybdenum and chromium. The hard layer has an as-sintered surface and is only about 0.3 mm thick. An additional secondary phase including a carbide, nitride, carbonitride or oxycarbonitride of metals such as titanium may also be present in the PCD or PCBN layer.

摘要： A center cutting or plunging end mill (10) or ball mill has one or more spiral grooves (18) and flutes (14) in the walls of a mill body (12) of cemented tungsten carbide. Each groove (18) includes polycrystalline diamond (30) or cubic boron nitride formed in situ along a leading edge (15) of each flute. Such a groove (18) extends across the cutting end of the mill so that the mill can be used for center cutting or plunging. The vein of diamond-like material may extend to the center of the mill body or may extend almost all of the way to the center, leaving an area of tungsten carbide exposed at the center of the mill body. A high temperature-high pressure press is used for forming the polycrystalline diamond-like veins in situ within the grooves in the mill.
