    摘要: Embodiments relate to polycrystalline diamond compacts (“PDCs”) that are less susceptible to liquid metal embrittlement damage due to the use of at least one transition layer between a polycrystalline diamond (“PCD”) layer and a substrate. In an embodiment, a PDC includes a PCD layer, a cemented carbide substrate, and at least one transition layer bonded to the substrate and the PCD layer. The at least one transition layer is formulated with a coefficient of thermal expansion (“CTE”) that is less than a CTE of the substrate and greater than a CTE of the PCD layer. At least a portion of the PCD layer includes diamond grains defining interstitial regions and a metal-solvent catalyst occupying at least a portion of the interstitial regions. The diamond grains and the catalyst collectively exhibit a coercivity of about 115 Oersteds or more and a specific magnetic saturation of about 15 Gauss·cm3/grams or less.

    摘要: A graphite or silicate plug is coated with a refractory metal and positioned in the cutter pocket of a steel bodied bit as molten hardfacing material is applied to the bit surface under high temperature conditions. The refractory metal cooperates with the hardfacing material to act as a wetting agent that draws the hardfacing material into intimate contact with the body of the displacement plug. The plug is removed leaving a composite pocket opening formed by the steel body and the hardfacing material. A PDC cutter inserted into the composite pocket opening closely adheres to the sides of the opening to reduce the gap between the cutter and the hardfacing material to hereby minimize the effects of erosion in the area of the gap. The wetting material on the displacement plug permits the hardfacing material to flow into and remain in position immediately adjacent the displacement body and in the small surface area between adjacent cutter pockets. The hardfacing material also cooperates with the-steel pocket to increase the surface area of the pocket recess that provides additional structural support to the cutter to improve the stability and retention of the cutter in the bit. The refractory metal may preferably be molybdenum that is applied in a thin layer deposited by a plasma coating technique directly over the body of the graphite displacement body.

    摘要: An exemplary method of processing a polycrystalline diamond element is disclosed. According to the method, a protective layer may be formed over only a selected portion of a polycrystalline diamond element. The polycrystalline diamond element may include a polycrystalline diamond table. At least a portion of the polycrystalline diamond element may be exposed to a leaching solution such that the leaching solution contacts an exposed surface region of the polycrystalline diamond table and at least a portion of the protective layer. The protective layer may be substantially impermeable to the leaching solution. An exemplary method of manufacturing a polycrystalline diamond element is also disclosed.
