摘要:
Composite constructions of this invention comprise an ordered microstructure made up of multiple structural units that can be the same or different, and that comprise at least a first structural phase and a second structural phase. The first structural phase comprises a hard material that is selected from the group consisting of cermet materials, PCD, PCBN and mixtures thereof. The second structural phase is in contact with the first phase and comprises a material that is different than that selected to form the first structural phase. Additionally, the second structural phase is in contact with at least a portion of the first structural phase. Composite constructions of this invention can also have a multi-layer structures comprising two or more layers, wherein at least one of the layers comprises a composite construction having an ordered microstructure made up of the multiple structural units described above.
摘要:
An anvil for use in ultra high pressure presses capable of operating in the pressure ranges where diamonds, polycrystalline diamond composites and cubic boron nitride are stable, fabricated by diffusion bonding together a plurality of cemented tungsten carbide layers. The anvil has a working layer adjacent to the highest pressure of the press with the remaining plurality of layers behind the working layer for support. The working layer has a higher hardness than the supporting layers and the supporting layers each have higher toughness than the working layer.
摘要:
A cutting tool for woodworking applications has a tungsten carbide substrate and a hard layer bonded to the substrate at high temperature and high pressure, i.e. where diamond or cubic boron nitride is thermodynamically stable. The hard layer comprises polycrystalline diamond or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, and a supporting cobalt phase including adjuvant alloying materials for providing oxidation and corrosion resistance. Typical alloying elements include nickel, aluminum, silicon, titanium, molybdenum and chromium. Such materials also retard transformation of cobalt from the HCP to the FCC crystal structure at high temperature. The hard layer has an as-pressed surface parallel to the substrate and is only about 0.3 millimeters thick. An additional secondary phase including a carbide, nitride and carbonitride of metals such as titanium may also be present in the PCD or PCBN layer.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
This invention is directed to cutting elements having an ultra hard cutting layer such as polycrystalline diamond or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride bonded on a cemented carbide substrate. The interface between the substrate and the cutting layer of each such cutting element is non-planar. The non-planar interface is designed to enhance the operating life of the cutting element by reducing chipping, spalling, partial fracturing, cracking and/or exfoliation of the ultra hard cutting layer, and by reducing the risk of delamination of the cutting layer from the substrate.

A synthetic gasket material for use in a high-pressure press includes a major proportion of clay mineral powder having sufficient lubricity to flow in a high-pressure press, a minor proportion of at least one hard material powder having a sufficiently greater hardness than the clay mineral to retard flow of the clay mineral and form a seal during pressing in a high-pressure press, and a sufficient amount of binder to form an integral body. The synthetic gasket material is formed by thoroughly mixing together in desired proportions the clay mineral, hard material, and binder. The mixture is compacted into a body near net geometry and having a desired configuration to facilitate use in the high-pressure press. The compacted body is heated for a sufficient time and at a sufficient temperature to remove non-crystallographic water. A synthetic gasket material prepared according to principles of this invention displays improved flow, pressure transmitting, and thermal insulating properties when compared with gasket material made from natural pyrophyllite, due to the improved compositional consistency, i.e., lack of impurities and consistently low moisture content, of the synthetic gasket material.
摘要:
A polycrystalline cubic boron nitride cutting tool is from 50 to 85% by weight cubic boron nitride crystals bonded together as a polycrystalline mass. A supporting phase commingled with the polycrystalline cubic boron nitride is made from 15 to 40% by weight of a refractory material which is preferably titanium carbonitride or titanium aluminum carbonitride. The starting composition also comprises from 4 to 10% by weight of Co.sub.2 Al.sub.9. Mixed powders of these ingredients are treated in ammonia at a temperature in the range of from 1000.degree. to 1250.degree. C., which significantly increases the nitrogen content and reduces carbon content of titanium carbonitride. Instead of mixed powders of the starting materials, coated particles may be used such as cubic boron nitride coated with titanium carbonitride, or titanium carbonitride coated with cobalt, aluminum or cobalt aluminide. Hexagonal boron nitride may be substituted as a starting material for a portion of the cubic boron nitride.

摘要:
A metal cutting insert comprises a carbide substrate, and at least one body of superhard abrasive material, such as PCD or PCBN, bonded to an edge surface of the substrate and extending from one side surface to the other side surface of the substrate. There can be a plurality of superhard bodies disposed at respective corners of the substrate. The abrasive material is applied to the substrate in a container and then sintered and simultaneously bonded to the substrate by an elevated pressure/temperature step. Inserts can be made in rod form (i.e., in one piece) and then the rod can be transversely sliced into thin inserts; or the inserts can be made in separate pieces, with or without separators within the container.

摘要:
There is provided a method for making diamond and CBN composites, under HP/HT conditions, which comprises bonding a thin refractory material layer on the planar face of the tungsten carbide substrate proximate the diamond or CBN layer. There is also provided a small quantity of fine particles of yet another refractory material admixed in the diamond or CBN layer. The cooperation of these two systems greatly aid in regulating the flow of molten carbide bond metal from the substrate into the diamond or CBN layer, which minimizes abnormal grain growth and bond metal depletion at the diamond/substrate interface.
