Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to polycrystalline diamond compacts ('PDCs') including a domed polycrystalline diamond ('PCD') table that exhibit improved wear resistance and/or thermal stability. In an embodiment, a PDC includes a substrate having an interfacial surface, and a domed PCD table bonded to the interfacial surface of the substrate. The domed PCD table includes an exterior, convex generally cylindrical peripheral surface extending away from the interfacial surface of the substrate. The domed PCD table further includes a domed portion defining an upper, convex generally spherical surface, and an optional chamfer extending between the exterior, convex generally cylindrical peripheral surface and the upper, convex generally spherical surface.
