Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to buttons, inserts and bodies for rock drilling, rock cutting, metal cutting and wear part applications. The buttons, inserts and bodies comprise cemented carbide provided with bodies and/or layers of CVD- or PVD-fabricated diamond and then HP/HT treated in the diamond stable area. The bodies of cemented carbide may have a uniform structure or a multi-structure containing eta-phase surrounded by a surface zone of cemented carbide free of eta-phase.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A composite body for rock drilling, rock cutting, metal cutting or wear part applications comprising a diamond portion bonded to a cemented carbide substrate wherein said diamond portion is formed onto the cemented carbide substrate by a CVD- or PVD-technique such that the diamond portion is in direct contact with the cemented carbide substrate and subsequently bonded to the cemented carbide substrate by high pressure and high temperature, the high pressure and high temperature resulting in a high and uniform compression of the diamond portion caused by the difference in thermal expansion between the cemented carbide substrate and the diamond portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A composite body for rock drilling, rock cutting, metal cutting or wear part applications comprising a diamond portion bonded to a cemented carbide substrate wherein said diamond portion is formed onto the cemented carbide substrate by a CVD- or PVD-technique such that the diamond portion is in direct contact with the cemented carbide substrate and subsequently bonded to the cemented carbide substrate by high pressure and high temperature, the high pressure and high temperature resulting in a high and uniform compression of the diamond portion caused by the difference in thermal expansion between the cemented carbide substrate and the diamond portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The composite body of claim 1, wherein the diamond portion is a diamond layer overlaying at least a portion of a surface of cemented carbide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The composite body of claim 1, wherein said diamond portion is at least one diamond body which is embedded in at least a portion of a surface of the cemented carbide substrate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The composite body of claim 1, wherein the cemented carbide substrate is a multi-phase structure having a core containing eta-phase surrounded by a surface zone of cemented carbide free of eta-phase.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The composite body of claim 4, wherein the said core is from 10-95% of the total amount of cemented carbide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
The composite body of claim 5, wherein the core is from 30-65% of the total amount of cemented carbide.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
The composite body of claim 4, wherein the core contains at least 2% and at most 60% by volume of eta-phase.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
The composite body of claim 7, wherein the core contains at least 10% but no more than 35% by volume of eta-phase.
