Abstract: A method of processing a polycrystalline diamond element may include assembling a polycrystalline diamond element, a liner, and a protective leaching cup such that the liner is disposed between the polycrystalline diamond element and the protective leaching cup and a seal region of the protective leaching cup abuts a surface portion of the polycrystalline diamond element. The method may also include exposing a portion of the polycrystalline diamond element to a leaching agent. A method of processing a polycrystalline diamond element may also include surrounding a portion of a polycrystalline diamond element with a liner, inserting the liner and the polycrystalline diamond element into a protective leaching cup such that the liner is disposed between the polycrystalline diamond element and the protective leaching cup, and exposing another portion of the polycrystalline diamond element to a leaching agent.

Abstract: A polycrystalline diamond element includes a polycrystalline diamond table having a body of bonded diamond particles with interstitial regions. A first volume of the body includes an interstitial material and a second volume of the body has a lower concentration of interstitial material within the interstitial regions than the first volume. The polycrystalline diamond element includes an element face and a peripheral surface. The first volume is adjacent to a central portion of the element face and the second volume is adjacent to the peripheral surface. A method of processing a polycrystalline diamond element includes forming a concave region in the polycrystalline diamond element, exposing at least a portion of the concave region to a leaching solution, and removing at least a portion of the polycrystalline diamond material that was exposed to the leaching solution from the polycrystalline diamond element.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate generally to protective leaching masks, and methods of manufacturing and using the same for leaching superabrasive elements such as polycrystalline diamond elements. In an embodiment, a protective leaching mask assembly includes a superabrasive element including a central axis and a superabrasive table, and a protective mask formed to protect at least a portion of the superabrasive element. The protective mask includes a base portion and at least one sidewall extending from the base portion and defining an opening generally opposite the base portion. The at least one sidewall includes an inner surface configured to abut with a selected portion of the superabrasive element being chemically resistant to a leaching agent and an outer surface sloping at an oblique angle relative to the central axis.

Abstract: A method of processing a polycrystalline diamond element may include providing a protective leaching cup having a rear wall, an opening defined by a portion of the protective leaching cup opposite the rear wall, and a side wall extending between the opening and the rear wall, the side wall and the rear wall defining a cavity within the protective leaching cup. The method may further include positioning a polycrystalline diamond element in the cavity defined within the protective leaching cup. Positioning the polycrystalline diamond element in the cavity may include expanding at least a portion of the opening outward from a center of the opening. The method may additionally include exposing at least a portion of the polycrystalline diamond element to a leaching agent.
