  • POLYCRYSTALLINE DIAMOND COMPACTS AND APPLICATIONS THEREFOR
    Publication number: 20230017882
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to polycrystalline diamond compacts (“PDCs”) including a polycrystalline diamond (“PCD”) table having a diamond grain size distribution selected for improving performance and/or leachability. In an embodiment, a PDC includes a PCD table bonded to a substrate. The PCD table includes a plurality of diamond grains exhibiting diamond-to-diamond bonding therebetween. Other embodiments are directed to methods of forming PDCs, and various applications for such PDCs in rotary drill bits, bearing apparatuses, and wire-drawing dies.
    Type: Application

  • Polycrystalline diamond compacts and applications therefor
    Patent number: 11421485
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to polycrystalline diamond compacts (“PDCs”) including a polycrystalline diamond (“PCD”) table having a diamond grain size distribution selected for improving performance and/or leachability. In an embodiment, a PDC includes a PCD table bonded to a substrate. The PCD table includes a plurality of diamond grains exhibiting diamond-to-diamond bonding therebetween. The plurality of diamond grains includes a first amount being about 5 weight % to about 65 weight % of the plurality of diamond grains and a second amount being about 18 weight % to about 95 weight % of the plurality of diamond grains. The first amount exhibits a first average grain size of about 0.5 ?m to about 30 ?m. The second amount exhibits a second average grain size that is greater than the first average grain size and is about 10 ?m to about 65 ?m. Other embodiments are directed to methods of forming PDCs, and various applications for such PDCs in rotary drill bits, bearing apparatuses, and wire-drawing dies.

  • Methods of forming a liquid metal embrittlement resistant superabrasive compact, and superabrasive compacts and apparatuses using the same
    Patent number: 11400564
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to liquid metal embrittlement (“LME”)-resistant superabrasive compacts, methods of making the same, and drill bits incorporating the same. The LME-resistant superabrasive compacts include a braze-resistant region on one or more portions of a substrate expected to be under residual tensile stress and susceptible to LME during brazing.
