Zusammenfassung: | A method of making polycrystalline diamond material includes providing a fraction of diamond particles or grains and a sintering additive, the sintering additive comprising a carbon source of nano-sized particles or grains, forming the diamond particles and sintering additive into an aggregated mass, consolidating the aggregated mass and a binder material to form a green body, and subjecting the green body to conditions of pressure and temperature at which diamond is more thermodynamically stable than graphite and for a time sufficient to consume the sintering additive, sintering it and forming polycrystalline diamond material that is thermodynamically and crystallographically stable and is substantially devoid of any nano-structures. |
