Technical field
A kind of cutter this disclosure relates to composite polycrystal-diamond (PDC), in such as earth-boring bits.
Background technique
The component of various commercial plants is commonly subjected to extreme condition, such as high temperature and with rigid surface and/or abrasive surfaces HI high impact contact.For example, for being frequently run onto extreme temperature and pressure during oil exploitation or the probing for purpose of digging up mine.When When being suitably used in the cutting element or wear resistant contact element for probing, diamond is because of its impayable mechanical property And it can be most effective material.Diamond anomaly is hard, and heat is conducted away from the contact point with abrasive surfaces, and can be Other benefits are provided under the conditions of such.
Due to the random distribution of diamond crystal, in the diamond of plycrystalline diamond form, toughness is increased compared with single-crystal diamond The case where adding, crossing entire thickness of diamond this avoids the specific plane of disruption that may be present in such as single-crystal diamond.Therefore, gather Diamond is often preferred diamond form in many probing applications.It is usual using the drill bit cutting elements of polycrystalline diamond Referred to as composite polycrystal-diamond (PDC) cutter.Therefore, the drill bit for being incorporated to PDC cutter can be described as PDC drill bit.
PDC can be in cubic apparatus formula, belt or other press by passing through little crystal grain diamond and other starting materials It is manufactured by hyperpressure and temperature condition.A kind of PDC manufacturing process is related to: polycrystalline diamond platform is directly formed to such as carbon In the substrate for changing tungsten substrate.The process is related to: will include the substrate of such as sintering aid of cobalt (Co) together with the loose of mixing Diamond crystals are placed into the container of press, and the content of the press is made to be subjected to high temperature and pressure (HTHP) compacting Circulation.The high temperature and high pressure causes small diamond crystals to form the whole polycrystalline diamond platform being closely bonded with the substrate, Wherein Co serves as sintering aid to promote the formation of new diamond-diamond key.
Although can be used to form polycrystalline diamond platform, the sintering aid and diamond phase of such as Co is more online than usually having Property and both volumes on significant higher thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) so that when PDC heats up during use, polycrystalline diamond (PCD|EPHI|) in remaining sintering aid material faster or to a greater degree expanded than diamond, this causes crackle/micro- sometimes Residual stress in crackle or otherwise change diamond crystals.Polycrystalline diamond platform can be leached described in removing At least part of sintering aid.Not leach PDC more thermally stable than similar by PDC after gained leaching.To the sintering aid Most leaching generate thermostabilization plycrystalline diamond (TSP) diamond table.At a temperature of certain (generally at least 750 DEG C), Normal atmosphere pressure, the TSP cutter will not rupture or be graphitized, but do not leach under similar conditions PDC cutter will rupture or Graphitization.Needing for TSP diamond table to be re-attached to new substrate, (original substrate for forming polycrystalline diamond above is usually being soaked It is removed or is destroyed in leaching processes before analysis process) to form TSP cutter.
Therefore, leaching can solve the problems, such as some caused by the residual sintering aid in the diamond table as PCD, but simultaneously, It can leaching sintering aid once where position leave hole or cavity, this can be for example by making PDC cutter become fragile simultaneously It reduces its impact flexibility and deteriorates the mechanical property of PDC cutter.
