The properties and the performance of Thermally Stable Diamond Composite (TSDC) directly affect the applications of TSDC in engineering.
Introduction Due to the attractive material properties of high wear resistance and high compressive strength, as well as the capability to maintain these superior properties at high temperature (>1000oC) [1], the Thermally Stable Diamond Composite (TSDC) has attracted the attention of engineers and researchers for a long time, especially for its applications in engineering.
Currently, picks are broadly utilized in the mining and civil industries for cutting rocks, but existing picks with tungsten carbide (WC) as the cutting tip cannot cut hard rock with Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) above 100 MPa efficiently and economically [2].
To enable the TSDC tipped picks to be used effectively in industry, it is necessary to understand the performance and failure characteristics of the TSDC rock cutting tips in rock cutting production processes, especially in the variable engineering environments such as mining and tunnelling.
