The TRS on the surface of polycrystalline diamond(PCD) table was obtained,which can be used to calculate the radial thermal residual stress(RTRS) at the interface of PCD table via a refutation process.The obtained results show that there are compressive residual stress at the PCD table interface and in the most region of PCD table surface.The exception occurs near the outer diameter of the PCD table,where the PDC begins to bend and put the PCD table surface into a tension state,an undesirable state for a brittle material.The ISRM has covered the shortage existing in traditional stress-release method,in which only finite points on the surface of PCD table can be tested for one specimen and one time.Simple as the experimental procedures are,the test results are also very accurate and reliable.This method provides the theoretical and experimental basis for testing TRS of PDC accurately.展开更多

A finite element analysis(FEA) was made to check the validity of the testing results.The FEA modeling results were found to correlate well with the measured values.Factors leading to the deviation between XRD experimental measurements and the calculations of residual stress by FEA were also analyzed.展开更多

The cutting tests of granite block were conducted on a multifunctional testing device by using the cutter at three kinds of negative fore angles of 30°, 45° and 60°. The results show that, when the edge of the PDC layer is broken, the layer of tungsten cobalt is broken a little under the angle of 30°, while the layer of tungsten cobalt is broken continuously under the angle of 60°, their maximum depths are about 2 and 7 mm respectively in the two cases. The eccentric distance mainly depends on the negative fore angle of the cutter. When the cutter thrusts into the rock under an attack angle of 60°, the energy of bending waves reaches the maximum since the eccentric distance is the maximum. So the damage of cutter is the most serious. This test result is consistent with the conclusion of theoretical analysis well. The eccentric distance from the axial line of cutter to the point of action between the rock and cutter has great effect on the breakage of the cutter. Thus during the process of cutting, the eccentric distance should be reduced to improve the service life of PDC cutters.展开更多

Although diamond superabrasives have been indispensable for constructional sawing applications and industrial grinding applications,there has no polygrits of diamond that are commercially available.In this research,we used a novel technology to sinter micron diamond fines to form polygrits of diamond.The characterization demonstrated that polygrits of diamond can be tough to withstand impact.But due to the presence of micro grains,the grit can sharpen itself without dulling by shedding the worn grains.This paper revealed many examples of using diamond polygrits.展开更多
