Abstract
Magnetic sample holders for abrasive operations include an array of magnets embedded in a matrix material. Each magnet of the array is positioned between about 0 mm and about 4 mm from at least one adjacent magnet of the array. Exposed surfaces of the magnets of the array are coplanar with a planar working surface of the matrix material. Methods of forming a polycrystalline diamond compact element include magnetically securing an alloy sample to an array of magnets embedded in a matrix. Each of the magnets of the array is within about 4 mm of at least one adjacent magnet of the array. A portion of the alloy sample is abraded away, and the alloy sample is positioned proximate to diamond grains and a substrate. The alloy sample, diamond grains, and substrate are subjected to a high pressure/high temperature process to sinter the diamond grains.
