Abstract
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 (“wt %”) 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.
