Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a diamond composite from diamond particles, comprising the steps of forming a work piece, heating the work piece and controlling the heating temperature and heating time so that a certain desired amount of graphite is created by graphitization of diamond particles, thereby creating an intermediate body, and infiltrating silicon or silicon alloy into the intermediate body. The invention also relates to a diamond composite produced by this method.
Claims19
A low-pressure method for manufacturing a diamond composite from diamond particles, comprising:
- forming a work piece having a predetermined size and shape;
- heating the work piece and controlling the heating temperature and heating time so that a certain desired amount of graphite is created by graphitization of diamond particles, thereby creating an intermediate body;
- and
- infiltrating silicon or silicon alloy into the intermediate body, thereby creating a final body having the same predetermined size and shape as the work piece in a macroscopic scale.
A low-pressure method for manufacturing a diamond composite from diamond particles, comprising:
- forming a work piece of diamond particles;
- heating the work piece while controlling the heating temperature and heating time to create a desired amount of graphite by graphitization of diamond particles in an intermediate body;
- and
- infiltrating silicon or silicon alloy into the intermediate body to form a final body.
A low-pressure method for manufacturing a diamond composite from diamond particles, comprising:
- providing a work piece of diamond particles;
- graphitizing surfaces of the diamond particles in the work piece to produce an intermediate body having a desired amount of graphite;
- and
- infiltrating silicon or silicon alloy into the intermediate body to form a final body.
