Corrosion resistant polycrystalline abrasive compacts

摘要

A supported abrasive particle compact is composed of a cobalt-cemented carbide support integrally bonded to an abrasive particle layer of self-bonded diamond particles or CBN particles. The cobalt content in said supported compact is provided in form of a nickel-cobalt alloy wherein the amount of nickel is such that the cobalt is present in the face center cubic (FCC) or e phase. The inventive cutters can be made by infiltration of Ni metal into cemented WC substrate and/or the polycrystalline layer bonded thereto. Bonding includes high pressure/high temperature (HP/HT) formation of the supported polycrystalline compact and the brazing of the polycrystalline compact to the support. <IMAGE>
