Abstract: A polycrystalline diamond compact including a polycrystalline diamond layer and a cemented carbide substrate. The polycrystalline diamond layer is in the form of a cylinder including an upper surface, a bottom surface, and a side wall connecting the upper surface and the bottom surface. The cemented carbide substrate is bonded to the bottom surface of the polycrystalline diamond layer. The upper surface includes a center part and an edge part. The edge part includes a plurality of radially distributed cutting edges and cutting removal grooves. The plurality of cutting edges and cutting removal grooves are alternately distributed on the upper surface. One end of each of the plurality of cutting edges and cutting removal grooves extends to communicate with the center part, and the other end of each of the plurality of cutting edges and cutting removal grooves extends to communicate with the side wall.

Abstract: A polycrystalline element includes a table formed of polycrystalline diamond. The table includes a first surface; a second surface spaced apart from the first surface; and at least one side extending between the first surface and the second surface. The table also includes a plurality of extensions also formed of polycrystalline diamond, wherein at least one extension of the plurality of extensions extends away from at least one of the first surface and the at least one side. A radial line extends radially outward from a center axis of the first surface intersects each of a long axis of a subset of a plurality of extensions. Optionally, the polycrystalline diamond of at least one extension of the plurality of extensions is contiguous with the polycrystalline diamond of the table. The polycrystalline element may be used in downhole tools for boring and well drilling, machine tools, and bearings.
