Abstract
The method of preparing superhard articles consists of placing a mixture of powdered hard-alloy matrix material and diamond grains into a hard-alloy envelope formed from a hard-alloy material, preferably of exactly the same composition as the hard-alloy matrix material of the mixture, with the thickness of the hard-alloy envelope over the entire area thereof exceeding by at least 3-4 times the maximum space between any two adjacent diamond grains within the mixture. The mixture in the envelope is then subjected to sintering in a free condition thereof, without any external mechanical loads being applied thereto.
