Abstract:
Metal carbide supported polycrystalline diamond (PCD) compacts having improved shear strength and impact resistance properties, and a method for making the same under high temperature/high pressure (HT/HP) processing conditions. A sintered polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) compact interlayer is provided to be bonded at a first interface to a sintered PCD compact layer, and at a second interface to a cemented metal carbide support layer comprising particles of a metal carbide in a binder metal. The supported compact is characterized as having a substantially uniform sweep through of the binder metal from the cemented metal carbide support layer, which sweep through bonds the sintered PCD compact layer to the sintered PCBN interlayer, and the sintered PCBN interlayer to the cemented metal carbide support layer.

Abstract:
Abrasive compacts are described which comprise a support mass having abrasive masses bonded to each of the upper and lower surfaces of said support mass. Preferably, the abrasive masses are diamond or cubic boron nitride and the support mass is a sintered carbide. Bonding of the abrasive masses to the support mass preferably is accomplished by a high pressure, high temperature process.
Abstract:
A sintered compact of cubic boron nitride is made by adsorbing and/or diffusing 0.005 to 1.000 percent by weight of water into a boron nitride compact containing alkaline earth metal boron nitride as a catalyst. The so prepared compact is then subjected to a treatment under high pressure at a relatively low temperature to form a dense cubic boron nitride sintered compact of high purity.
Abstract:
Cubic boron nitride has been made from powdered hexagonal boron nitride by a process which comprises vacuum firing of the HBN and conversion by high pressure-high temperature processing at 55-80 kilobars and 1600.degree. C. to the reconversion temperature.The high pressure reaction cell has a special design which prevents the entrance of impurities into the sample. This cell, referring to FIG. 2, comprises, for example, a carbon tube (8) enclosing concentric titanium sleeve (9). Within the cylinder defined by the tube and sleeve are: the HBN sample (4), carbon filler (3), shielding tantalum foil discs (2) and carbon end plugs (10).The vacuum firing is done at pressures of 10.sup.-5 --10.sup.-10 mm Hg, 1400.degree.-1900.degree. C., for 5 minutes--4 hours, and is believed to form a thin, free-boron coating on the HBN particles.The process works on both pyrolytic (turbostratic) and graphitic hexagonal boron nitride.Grinding grits formed by milling cubic boron nitride chunks recovered from the high pressure-high temperature process have resulted in higher grinding ratios than commercially available CBN.
Abstract:

In the preferred embodiment, the particle masses are comprised of (1) at least 70% by volume of said particles, and (2) a metallic phase comprised of the cementing agent of the carbide mass. The composite compacts find utility in drill bit, mining tool and wear part applications.A method for making such a composite compact comprises (1) placing within a reaction cell masses of abrasive particles and at least two carbide masses interleaved with the abrasive particle masses, (2) the masses are placed in the cell in such a manner to allow for the accommodation of pressure and (3) simultaneously subjecting the cell and the contents thereof to temperature and pressure conditions at which the particles are stable.A method for abrading or cutting a workpiece with a composite compact comprises providing (1) a tubular carbide mass and a bonded mass of abrasive particles disposed in and bonded to the carbide mass in a central cavity thereof and (2) moving either the compact or workpiece relative to the other to provide the cutting or abrading action.
Abstract:
A method of producing cubic boron nitride is proposed which consists in that hexagonal boron nitride is subjected simultaneously to the action of a pressure of from about 50 kbar to about 90 kbar and a temperature of at least from about 1800.degree. C. to about 3000.degree. C. during a time period sufficient for formation of a cubic structure.
