    摘要: Particulate material is poured into a container which is decay and heat resistant, the container is sealed and subjected to axial compression at elevated temperature to cause densification of the material, there being an arrangement for preventing substantial radially outward deformation of the container during compression. An important application is to immobilization of nuclear reactor waste in a synthetic rock structure formed during the high temperature compression step, and advantageously the containers are secured within an outer metal cannister for subsequent safe handling and disposal. An important embodiment includes a bellows container which advantageously is upwardly pressed into an inverted metal cannister restrained by an upper abutment, the bellows container becoming an interference fit within the metal cannister during the final portion of compression, but the bellows container wall itself being substantially sufficient to prevent gross outward deformation of the bellows container.

    摘要: A diamond compact comprised of more than 60 volume percent and less than 90 volume percent of diamond crystals connected by a silicon carbide bond. The bond contains more than 500 parts per million of nitrogen and/or phosphorus and the compact possesses a low electrical resistivity of less than 0.2 ohm cm. The compact may be produced by a process in which the diamond crystals are intimately mixed with a bonding agent comprising silicon and the mixture is subjected within a confining space to a high temperature and pressure within the graphite stability field to cause silicon in the bonding agent to react extensively with carbon in the diamond crystals to form the silicon carbide bond. To produce the low electrical resistivity, a material containing nitrogen and/or phosphorus is introduced into the confining space prior to application of the high temperature and pressure conditions. In a modified process, the mixed diamond crystals and bonding agent are placed immediately adjacent to one or more bodies of silicon within the confining space prior to application of the high pressure and temperature conditions. In this process, the nitrogen and/or phosphorus containing material may be mixed with the diamond crystals and bonding agent and/or with one of the additional bodies of silicon prior to application of the high temperature and pressure conditions.
