Abstract

The results of investigation of the microstructure and hardness of two sets of single-phased diamond polycrystals obtained at Р = 8 GPа and Т = 1700—2100 0С on the basis of diamond powders sizing 1/0 and 20/14 mcm which were prior treated in a hydrogen medium are presented. It has been shown that plastic deformation of diamond grains under sintering proceeds via perfect dislocations and multiple twinning. Also, at Т >1700 0С rotary deformation takes place. Hardness reaches 81 and 94 GPa for fine- and coarse-grained samples, respectively. Full text download
