Abstract:
Polycrystalline diamond constructions of this invention have a polycrystalline diamond body and a substrate attached thereto, wherein the diamond body has a material microstructure comprising a plurality of bonded-together diamond crystals forming a polycrystalline matrix phase, and second phase formed from different types of materials or sintering aids designed to reduce or eliminate the amount of free Group VIII elements therein. The use of such materials and the reduction and/or elimination of free Group VIII elements, in addition to graphitization, facilitates the sintering the construction at high pressure/high temperature conditions, e.g., greater than about 65 Kbar, to produce a construction having a high degree of thermal stability and/or thermal resistance when compared to conventional PCD materials. Polycrystalline diamond constructions of this invention are preferably configured as cutting elements that are disposed on drill bits used for drilling subterranean earthen formations.

Abstract:
The present invention develops a manufacture method, via conventional liquid metallurgy, of finished and semi-finished metallic parts as casting, ingot, blooms and slabs in alloys base Fe, base Ni and base Co, microstructurally reinforced with complex molybdenum and titanium carbide particles, by means of their previous elaboration and latter addition to the molten alloy in the melting furnace. Then, when the alloy solidifies, they are inserted and distributed within the grains of the base metallic matrix, enhancing their mechanical properties and behavior at room as well as at high temperatures.

Abstract:
A composite construction 1 is obtained by coating the outer periphery of a core material 2 with a shell layer 3. The core material 2 is composed of a first sintered body that is obtained by bonding, with a binder metal, a first hard particle composed of one or more of carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides of metals of Groups 4a, 5a and 6a of the Periodic Table, or a first ceramics obtained by bonding, with a sintering additive, a first ceramic particle composed of at least one of oxides, carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides selected from the group consisting of metals of Groups 4a, 5a and 6a of the Periodic Table, Al, Si and Zn. The shell layer 3 is composed of a second hard sintered body or second ceramics having a different composition from the first hard sintered body. The ratio of the residual free carbon amount Cin in the core material 2 to the residual free carbon amount Cout in the shell layer 3, Cin/Cout, is 0.5 to 2. This prevents shrinkage during the time of sintering and also prevents the strength of the composite construction from lowering due to poor sintering.
