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.
Claims6
A method of making a composite body for rock drilling, metal cutting and wear part applications comprising prefabricating a diamond portion by CVD-or PVD-technique, prefabricating a cemented carbide portion, and bonding the diamond portion and cemented carbide portion by high pressure and high temperature, the diamond portion being a diamond body which is embedded in at least a part of the cemented carbide portion prior to said bonding.
A method of making a composite body for rock drilling, metal cutting and wear part applications comprising prefabricating a diamond portion by CVD-or PVD-technique, prefabricating a cemented carbide portion, and, bonding the diamond portion and cemented carbide portion by high pressure and high temperature, the diamond portion being formed by application onto the cemented carbide portion prior to the high pressure and high temperature treatment.
