Investigation and processing of 3D-polycrystalline diamond material

The purpose of this work was to manufacture three dimensionally-structured polycrystalline diamond materials (3D PCD) with the aim of improving the resistance to wear of the polycrystalline diamond by crack deflection toughening induced by residual stresses. A further aim was to correlate the measur...
