Sintering of Frustum Shaped Polycrystalline Diamond Compact at Non-Hydrostatic Pressure

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work present the study of the sintering of polycrystalline diamond compact with hyperbolic truncated cone profile using hexagonal boron nitride assembly, rather than salt mold, which is different from conventional assembly and this kind of polycrystalline diamond compact is widely used in percussion rock bits and roller cone rock bits. The well-sintered polycrystalline diamond compact without transition layer is prepared on a WC-10wt% Co substrate at temperature 1450°C for 3 min at non-hydrostatic high pressure of 5.5Gpa.Different analyzing techniques, such as X- ray diffraction, micro-Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy were applied to characterize the micro-structure, residual stress and sintering behavior. The SEM analysis indicates that diamond-diamond (D-D) direct bonding had formed in the polycrystalline diamond layer. The Raman spectroscopy shows compressive stress in the polycrystalline diamond layer is much higher than that sintered using traditional assembly.
