Abstract:
A system and a method of testing a superabrasive cutter are disclosed. The system of testing a superabrasive cutter may comprise a spinning wheel holding the superabrasive cutter; a rock feeding into a rotation of the superabrasive cutter on the spinning wheel; and a plurality of sensors operably attaching to the spinning wheel and the rock to detect properties of the superabrasive cutter. The method of testing a superabrasive cutter may comprise steps of attaching a superabrasive cutter to a spinning wheel; moving a rock into a rotation of the superabrasive cutter on the spinning wheel; and communicably coupling a first sensor to the superabrasive cutter.
Abstract:
A superabrasive cutter and a method of making the superabrasive cutter are disclosed. The superabrasive cutter may comprise a plurality of polycrystalline superabrasive particles and about 0.01% to about 4% by weight of the superabrasive particles of a metal or metal alloy. The metal or the metal alloy may be immiscible with a catalyst for forming the polycrystalline superabrasive particles.
