  • Publication number: 20170137679
    Abstract: An abrasive compact comprises an ultrahard polycrystalline composite material comprised of ultrahard abrasive particles having a multimodal size distribution and a binder phase. The ultrahard polycrystalline composite material defines a plurality of interstices, the binder phase being distributed in the interstices to form greater than an optimal threshold of binder pools per square micron.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 30, 2017
    Publication date: May 18, 2017
    Inventors: Geoffrey John DAVIES, Mosimanegape Stephen MASETE, John LIVERSAGE, James Alexander REID, Anthony Roy BURGESS, Gerrard Soobramoney PETERS
  • Patent number: 8435317
    Abstract: Polycrystalline diamond abrasive elements having a fine grained microstructure are produced from fine grained diamond particles and a catalyst solvent material, at least a portion of which is in the form of nanosized particles. The abrasive elements exhibit high homogeneity and exhibit significant increases in toughness and improved wear resistance.
    Type: Grant
