  • Polycrystalline diamond material with extremely fine microstructures
    Patent number: 9403137
    Abstract: A sintered polycrystalline diamond material (PCD) of extremely fine grain size is manufactured by sintering under high pressure/high temperature (HP/HT) processing, a diamond powder which is blended with a pre-milled source catalyst metal compound. The PCD material has an average sintered diamond grain structure of less than about 1.0 ?m.

  • Method of producing coated paper with reduced gloss mottle
    Publication number: 20070169902
    Abstract: A method of producing a coated paper having reduced gloss mottle and excellent smoothness includes the steps of calendering a base stock at a relatively high pressure in a first calendering step, coating at least one side of the calendered base stock and calendering the coated base stock at a relatively low pressure in a second calendering step.
