This disclosure relates to a system for removing road material. In an embodiment, the system may include a milling drum and at least one pick mounted on the milling drum. Furthermore, the pick may include polycrystalline diamond at least partially forming one or more working surfaces of the pick.

Shear cutter pick milling system

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a system for removing road material. In an embodiment, the system may include a milling drum and at least one pick mounted on the milling drum. The pick may include polycrystalline diamond at least partially forming one or more working surfaces of the pick.

Pick including polycrystalline diamond compact

Embodiments of the invention relate to polycrystalline diamond compacts ('PDCs') and methods of fabricating polycrystalline diamond tables and PDCs in a manner that facilitates removal of metal-solvent catalyst used in the manufacture of polycrystalline diamond tables of such PDCs.

Polycrystalline diamond compacts and related methods

In an embodiment, a polycrystalline diamond compacts ('PDC') includes a substrate and a polycrystalline diamond ('PCD') table bonded to the substrate. The PCD table defines an upper surface and at least one peripheral surface. The PCD table includes a plurality of bonded diamond grains. The PCD table includes a first region adjacent to the substrate that includes a metallic constituent disposed interstitially between the bonded diamond grains thereof, and a leached second region extending inwardly from the upper surface and the at least one peripheral surface that is depleted of the metallic constituent. The leached second region exhibits a leach depth profile having a maximum leach depth that is measured from the upper surface. A leach depth of the leach depth profile decreases with lateral distance from a central axis of the PCD table and toward the at least one peripheral surface.

Polycrystalline diamond compact including a non-uniformly leached polycrystalline diamond table and applications therefor

In an embodiment, a polycrystalline diamond compact ('PDC') includes a substrate and a polycrystalline diamond ('PCD') table bonded to the substrate. The PCD table includes an upper surface. The PCD table includes a first PCD region including bonded-together diamond grains and exhibits a first diamond density. At least a portion of the first PCD region extending inwardly from the working surface is substantially free of metal-solvent catalyst. The PCD table includes an intermediate second PCD region bonded to the substrate, which is disposed between the first PCD region and the substrate. The second PCD region includes bonded-together diamond grains defining interstitial regions, with at least a portion of the interstitial regions including metal-solvent catalyst disposed therein. The second PCD region exhibits a second diamond density that is greater than that of the first diamond density of the first PCD region.

Methods of manufacturing a polycrystalline diamond compact including an at least bi-layer polycrystalline diamond table

Embodiments of the invention relate to polycrystalline diamond compacts ('PDCs') and methods of fabricating such PDCs. In an embodiment, a PDC includes a substrate and a preformed polycrystalline diamond table including an interfacial surface bonded to the substrate and an opposing working surface. The preformed polycrystalline diamond table includes a proximal region extending from the interfacial surface to an intermediate location within the preformed polycrystalline diamond table that includes a metallic infiltrant infiltrated from the substrate, and a distal region extending from the working surface to the intermediate location that is substantially free of the metallic infiltrant. A boundary exists between the proximal and distal regions that has a nonplanar irregular profile characteristic of the metallic infiltrant having been infiltrated into the preformed polycrystalline diamond table.

Polycrystalline diamond compacts

Embodiments of the invention relate to polycrystalline diamond ('PCD') fabricated by sintering a mixture including diamond particles and a selected amount of graphite particles, polycrystalline diamond compacts ('PDCs') having a PCD table comprising such PCD, and methods of fabricating such PCD and PDCs. In an embodiment, a method includes providing a mixture including graphite particles present in an amount of about 0.1 weight percent (&#x201c;wt %&#x201d;) to about 20 wt % and diamond particles. The method further includes subjecting the mixture to a high-pressure/high-temperature process sufficient to form PCD.

In an embodiment, a polycrystalline diamond compact includes a substrate and a preformed polycrystalline diamond table having an upper surface, an interfacial surface, and at least one side surface extending therebetween. The interfacial surface of the polycrystalline diamond table is bonded to the substrate. The polycrystalline diamond table includes bonded diamond grains defining interstitial regions. The polycrystalline diamond table includes a first region extending inwardly from at least a portion of the upper surface and at least a portion of the at least one side surface. The first region spaced from the interfacial surface. The polycrystalline diamond table includes at least a second region extending inwardly from the interfacial surface to the upper surface. The first region includes at least a first infiltrant disposed interstitially between the bonded diamond grains thereof. The second region includes at least a second infiltrant disposed interstitially between the bonded diamond grains thereof.
