Abstract: An acoustic emissions testing device includes a testing sample including a hard surface, an acoustic sensor, an indenter coupled to the hard surface, and a load. The load is exerted on the indenter, which transfers the load to the hard surface. The acoustic sensor is communicably coupled to the testing sample and detects one or more acoustic events occurring within the testing sample. An acoustic emissions testing system includes a data recorder coupled to the testing device. The data recorder records the data from testing device. Based upon the data received, the toughness of the sample is objectively determined and can be ranked comparatively to the toughness of other samples. The load is ramped up to a peak load, held for a period of time, and then ramped down.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for non-destructively characterizing one or more regions within an ultra-hard polycrystalline structure using capacitance measurements. The apparatus includes a capacitance measuring device having a positive and negative terminal, a leached component comprising a polycrystalline structure, a first wire, and a second wire. The leached component includes a first surface and an opposing second surface. The first wire electrically couples the positive terminal to one of the surfaces of the leached component and the second wire electrically couples the negative terminal to the other surface of the leached component. The capacitance is measured one or more times and compared to a calibration curve to determine an estimated leaching depth within the polycrystalline structure. A data scattering range is ascertained to determine a relative porosity of the polycrystalline structure or the leaching quality within the polycrystalline structure.
