<p>Embodiments relate to injection mold assemblies that include superhard materials, such as polycrystalline diamond compacts ("PDCs"), and related injection mold presses, components, and methods. The superhard materials are positioned to define at least a portion of a mold cavity for injection molding. Superhard materials may be fully or partially encapsulated by a substrate and the superhard materials and substrate may be secured to the injection mold. Superhard materials may be formed or otherwise separated from a substrate and secured to the injection mold without support of a substrate. Superhard materials may also be attachable to an injection mold to define only a portion of a mold cavity. In an embodiment, an injection mold insert includes a superhard material for insertion into a generic cavity within an injection mold assembly.</p> |
