  • Patent number: 4832708
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improvement enabling a more reliable detection of flaws in polycrystalline diamond compacts by x-ray imaging and expecially for compacts used for wire drawing dies. In an embodiment, wire die compacts are prepared having a plycrystalline diamond core disposed within a metal carbide annulus. In the core are uniformly dispersed less than five (5) percent by weight particles such as tungsten carbide which initially have an average particle size substantially less than the diamond particles used to form polycrystalline mass.
