LEACHED SUPERABRASIVE ELEMENTS AND SYSTEMS, METHODS AND ASSEMBLIES FOR PROCESSING SUPERABRASIVE MATERIALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009808 titled 'LEACHED SUPERABRASIVE ELEMENTS AND SYSTEMS, METHODS AND ASSEMBLIES FOR PROCESSING SUPERABRASIVE MATERIALS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for processing a superabrasive element, specifically a polycrystalline diamond table with a metallic material present in the interstitial spaces. The method involves leaching the metallic material from a volume of the polycrystalline diamond table to create a leached volume.

  • The method involves processing a superabrasive element with a polycrystalline diamond table.
  • The polycrystalline diamond table contains a metallic material in the interstitial spaces.
  • The metallic material is leached from a volume of the polycrystalline diamond table.
  • This leaching process creates a leached volume within the polycrystalline diamond table.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Superabrasive tools: The processed superabrasive element can be used in the manufacturing of cutting tools, grinding wheels, and other abrasive tools.
  • Machining and material removal: The superabrasive element can be used for precision machining and material removal in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enhanced performance: The leaching process removes the metallic material, which can improve the performance and durability of the superabrasive element.
  • Improved efficiency: The processed superabrasive element can provide higher cutting speeds and improved material removal rates, leading to increased efficiency in various applications.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Extended tool life: The removal of metallic material from the polycrystalline diamond table can increase the tool's lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
  • Enhanced cutting performance: The processed superabrasive element can offer improved cutting performance, resulting in higher precision and better surface finish.
  • Cost savings: The increased durability and efficiency of the superabrasive element can lead to cost savings by reducing downtime, tooling costs, and overall production costs.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method of processing a superabrasive element includes providing a superabrasive element including a polycrystalline diamond table that includes a metallic material disposed in interstitial spaces defined within the polycrystalline diamond table. the method also includes leaching the metallic material from at least a volume of the polycrystalline diamond table to produce a leached volume in the polycrystalline diamond table.
