Abstract
An abrasive compact having at least a tri-modal particle size distribution, and a binder phase, define a plurality of interstices. The binder phase is distributed in the interstices to form binder pools that correspond substantially in average size to that of an ultrahard polycrystalline composite material having a monomodal particle size distribution and substantially the same overall average particle grain size.
