  • Thick sintered polycrystalline diamond and sintered jewelry
    Patent number: 9820539
    Abstract: Methods of forming larger sintered compacts of PCD and other sintered ultrahard materials are disclosed. Improved solvent metal compositions and layering of the un-sintered construct allow for sintering of thicker and larger high quality sintered compacts. Jewelry may also be made from sintered ultrahard materials including diamond, carbides, and boron nitrides. Increased biocompatibility is achieved through use of a sintering metal containing tin. Methods of sintering perform shapes are provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 28, 2014
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2017
    Assignee: DIMICRON, INC.
    Inventors: David P Harding, Mark E Richards, Richard H Dixon, Victoriano Carvajal, Bao-Khang Ngoc Nguyen, German A Loesener, A Ben Curnow, Troy J Medford, Trenton T Walker, Jeffery K Taylor, Bill J Pope
