Abstract
A method of making an abrasive product involves crushing a diamond abrasive compact, typically a thermally stable diamond abrasive compact, and then re-constituting the fragments so produced under diamond synthesis conditions.
Claims6
A method of making an abrasive product includes the steps of providing a polycrystalline diamond abrasive compact, fragmenting the compact into a plurality of polycrystalline diamond fragments having a rough, irregular outer surface, placing the fragments, as such from the fragmenting step, in a suitable reaction capsule, placing the capsule in the reaction zone of a high temperature/high pressure apparatus and subjecting the contents of the capsule to elevated temperature and pressure conditions for a time sufficient to produce a coherent product of the fragments, said coherent product being a diamond abrasive compact having a rough outer surface.
