Abstract: A method of treating a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) compact including a substrate and a layer of diamond material mixture of diamond particles and binder-catalyst disposed on the substrate. A leaching agent is applied to at least the layer of diamond material of the PCD compact. The leaching agent and a surface of the layer of diamond material are heated to a first temperature. The substrate is cooled to a second temperature. A first temperature gradient is established within the PCD compact to cause an inward diffusion of the leaching agent into at least the layer of diamond material. The cooling of the substrate is stopped and energy is applied directly to the PCD compact to heat the same to a third temperature. A second temperature gradient is established within the PCD compact to cause an outward diffusion of the binder-catalyst to remove the same from the layer of diamond material.
