    摘要: Polycrystalline diamond compacts, polycrystalline diamond blanks, polycrystalline diamond cutters, and tools incorporating same for cutting, milling, grinding, drilling and other abrasive operations, particularly in metal cutting applications, include a diamond table having a gradient in iron content that increases as distance into the volume of the diamond table increases. The iron gradient increases resistance to wear, such as in interrupted milling tests. The disclosure further relates to methods of manufacturing polycrystalline diamond compacts having a gradient in iron concentration in the diamond table, blanks and cutters including polycrystalline diamond compacts, cutting tools incorporating such compacts, blanks and cutters, and methods of cutting, milling, grinding and drilling, particularly metal machining, using such compacts, blanks, cutters, cutting tools and drill bits.

    摘要: Polycrystalline diamond cutters and methods of making thereof are described. The cutters include a substrate and a diamond body. The diamond body includes diamond particles spatially arranged according to a gradient of particle sizes. The methods include steps of suspending diamond particles in a liquid and allowing their sedimentation according to a gradient of particle sizes resulting in regions spatially arranged axially and/or radially in which a majority of diamond particles in one region have lower average sizes or average diameters comparative to a majority of diamond particles in a second region.
