  • Method of producing polycrystalline diamond aggregates
    Patent number: 4089933
    Abstract: A method of producing polycrystalline diamond aggregates, wherein a carbon-containing material is given a required shape, after which, in the presence of a catalyst taken in the form of a powder whose envelope surrounds the carbon-containing material, said material is subjected to the action of pressure and simultaneous heating by an electric current pulse with a duration of 0.1 to 10.0 sec.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 1976
    Date of Patent: May 16, 1978
    Assignee: Institut Fiziki Vysokikh Daleny Akademi Nauk, SSSR

  • Method of producing polycrystalline diamonds
    Patent number: 4049783
    Abstract: A method of producing polycrystalline diamonds which is characterized by providing a thermal contact of the reaction chamber with the cooled members of the device developing a high pressure and high temperatures for removing the heat generated within this chamber in the process of crystallization of a diamond, which method is also characterized in that the cross-sectional area of the metal-catalyst is not more than 0.04 that of the reaction chamber in a plane normal to the direction of the maximum withdrawal of the heat of crystallization. Said metal-catalyst is set in the carbon-containing material substantially in the center of the reaction chamber.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Leonid Fedorovich Vereschagin, Evgeny Nikolaevich Yakovlev, Tatyana Dmitrievna Varfolomeeva, Alexandr Yakovlevich Preobrazhensky, Vladislav Nikolaevich Slesarev, Vasily Alexandrovich Stepanov, Ljudmila Efimovna Shterenberg
  • Method for producing polycrystalline diamond aggregates of predetermined shape
    Patent number: 3949062
    Abstract: A workpiece made of a non-diamond carbonaceous material and having dimensions exceeding those of a polycrystalline diamond aggregate by a contraction coefficient value of the non-diamond material during its transformation into a polycrystalline diamond material, is enclosed with a powder-like catalyst having particle dimensions less than the minimum dimensions of the workpiece, subjected to a pressure of at least 80 kb, and heated by a pulse of electric current for a period of 0.1 to 10 seconds sufficient for the formation of said polycrystalline aggregate.
