An additional material may be included within the body and be present in a changing amount. The body may be formed by high-pressure HPHT processing, e.g., from 6,200 MPa to 10,000 MPa, to produce a sintered body having a characteristic diamond volume fraction v. average grain size relationship distinguishable from that of diamond bonded constructions form by conventional-pressure HPHT processing.

Abstract: A method for designing a drill bit including selecting a characteristic associated with a failure mode. A first value of the characteristic of a first cutting element and a second value for the characteristic of a second cutting element are determined. The method also includes determining whether a difference between the first value and the second value is within a predetermined range. A cutting element design parameter for the first cutting element is adjusted if the difference is outside the predetermined range. The determining first and second values, determining the difference, and adjusting a cutting element design parameter are repeated until the difference is within the predetermined range.
