A component comprised of a composite compact, preferably diamond, and a substrate bonded to the compact. A preferred embodiment of the component is a cutter for a drill bit. The compact is comprised of a layer of bonded diamond or boron nitride particles and a base layer of cemented carbide bonded, preferably under high temperatures and pressures, to the particulate layer. The particulate layer is degradable by exposure to temperatures above a predetermined temperature. The substrate is bonded to the base layer of the compact with a filler metal which, to form a bond, requires the exposure of the surfaces to be bonded to a temperature substantially greater than the degradation temperature of the particulate layer. The component is fabricated by heating the base layer, filler metal and substrate to a temperature in excess of the degradation temperature while maintaining the temperature of the particulate layer below the degradation temperature via a heat sink. |
