| 摘要 |
The present disclosure relates to methods for enhanced demetalyzation of an ultrahard material, such as polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or cubic boron nitride (CBN), using a thiourea solution. The thiourea solution may contain thiourea and an acid, such as a Bronstead acid suitable for leaching. The thiourea may contain thiourea or a substituted thiourea, including tautomers thereof. The ultrahard material may be exposed to the thiourea solution for a time and under conditions sufficient to remove at least a desired amount of a metal, such as a catalyst used during formation of the PCD or CBN, from at least a portion of the ultrahard material. |
