Abstract

Abstract A method of producing polycrystalline diamond aggregates, wherein a carbon-containing material is given a required shape, after which, in the presence of a catalyst taken in the form of a powder whose envelope surrounds the carbon-containing material, said material is subjected to the action of pressure and simultaneous heating by an electric current pulse with a duration of 0.1 to 10.0 sec.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 122 words
In a method of producing polycrystalline diamond aggregates, wherein a carbon-containing material is given a required shape and in the presence of a catalyst subjected to a pressure of at least about 80 kbar and heated simultaneously to a temperature of at least about 1,500° C for a period of time sufficient for the formation of diamond aggregates, the improvement which comprises imparting to said carbon-containing material the shape of the required polycrystalline aggregate and providing said catalyst as an envelope in the form of powder surrounding said carbon-containing material, said catalyst transmitting pressure uniformly to said carbon-containing material in the course of compression, and said heating being effected by an electric pulse having a duration of from 0.1 to 10 seconds.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 122 words
