CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of no other prior applications.INVENTIVE FIELD
[0002] Exemplary embodiments are directed to a body for use in cutting, machining, drilling and similar operations, and a method of manufacture of the body. More particularly, exemplary embodiments are directed to a composite polycrystalline diamond body and method of manufacture that may be used for cutting, machining, drilling and other similar operations.BACKGROUND
[0003] As used in the following disclosure and claims, the term polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is intended to refer to the type of material that is made by subjecting diamond crystals to a high temperature and pressure that results in intercrystalline bonding of the individual diamond crystal. In exemplary embodiments, the intercrystalline bonding is usually facilitated by use of a specific catalyst family of transition metals, usually as molten fluid. Although catalysts greatly aid the sinter bond...
