ERUPTION CONTROL IN THERMALLY STABLE PCD PRODUCTS BY THE ADDITION OF TRANSITION METAL CARBIDE

摘要

A method of loaning a diamond compact includes adding an additive material to a tungsten carbide substrate, the additive material including a transition metal carbide other than tungsten carbide, placing a diamond body adjacent to an interface surface of the tungsten carbide substrate, and subjecting the diamond body and the tungsten carbide substrate to a high pressure high temperature bonding process to bond the diamond body to the tungsten carbide substrate.
