SINTERED SUPERHARD COMPACT FOR CUTTING TOOL APPLICATIONS AND METHOD OF ITS PRODUCTION

摘要

A method and composition of a sintered superhard compact is provided. The sintered superhard compact body may comprise superhard particles and a binder phase. The binder phase may bond the superhard particles together. The binder phase comprises tungsten and cobalt. The ratio of tungsten to cobalt is between 1 and 2 and sum of W and Co in the sintered superhard compact is in a range of from about 2 to about 20 percent by weight.
