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.

A polycrystalline diamond cutter having a coating of refractory material applied to the polycrystalline diamond surface increases the operational life of the cutter. The coating typically has a thickness in the range of from 0.1 to 30 .mu.m and may be made from titanium nitride, titanium carbide, titanium carbonitride, titanium aluminum carbonitride, titanium aluminum nitride, boron carbide, zirconium carbide, chromium carbide, chromium nitride, or any of the transition metals or Group IV metals combined with either silicon, aluminum, boron, carbon, nitrogen or oxygen. The coating can be applied using conventional plating or other physical or chemical deposition techniques.
摘要:
A polycrystalline diamond layer is bonded to a cemented metal carbide substrate by this process. A layer of dense high shear compaction material including diamond or cubic boron nitride particles is placed adjacent to a metal carbide substrate. The particles of diamond have become rounded instead of angular due to high shear compaction in a multiple roller process. The volatiles in the high shear compaction material are removed and binder decomposed at high temperature, for example, 950.degree. C., leaving residual amorphous carbon or graphite in a layer of ultra hard material particles on the carbide substrate. The substrate and layer assembly is then subjected to a high pressure, high temperature process, thereby sintering the ultra hard particles to each other to form a polycrystalline ultra hard layer bonded to the metal carbide substrate. The layer of high shear compaction material is also characterized by a particle size distribution including larger and smaller particles that are distributed uniformly throughout the layer.
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.

A method of re-processing used TSP material layers to form cutting elements, bits with such cutting elements mounted on their bodies, and bits having re-processed TSP material layers attached to their bodies, as well as such cutting elements and bits are provided. The method includes providing a used TSP material cutting element having a TSP material layer and substrate, or a bit having a TSP material layer attached to the bit, removing the used TSP material layer from the cutting element or bit, cutting the used TSP material layer to a new shape, if necessary, optionally re-leaching the used TSP layer and re-using the TSP material layer to form a cutting element, or in forming a bit body. The formed cutting element may be mounted on a bit body.

摘要:
Polycrystalline diamond constructions include a diamond body comprising a matrix phase of bonded together diamond crystals formed at high pressure/high temperature conditions with a catalyst material. The sintered body is treated remove the catalyst material disposed within interstitial regions, rendering it substantially free of the catalyst material used to initially sinter the body. Accelerating techniques can be used to remove the catalyst material. The body includes an infiltrant material disposed within interstitial regions in a first region of the construction. The body includes a second region adjacent the working surface and that is substantially free of the infiltrant material. The infiltrant material can be a Group VIII material not used to initially sinter the diamond body. A metallic substrate is attached to the diamond body, and can be the same or different from a substrate used as a source of the catalyst material used to initially sinter the diamond body.
