Abstract:
Provided is an industrially advantageous molybdenum material which is capable of causing secondary recrystallization to occur at a temperature lower than conventional and which, after the secondary recrystallization, can have a structure that comprises giant crystal grains with less grain boundaries and thus is excellent in creep resistance. The molybdenum material has, in at least a part thereof, a portion having a region where the peak intensities of the (110) and (220) diffraction planes are each less than the peak intensity of the (211) diffraction plane, as measured by X-ray diffraction, in a region at a depth of one-fifth of the entire thickness in a plate thickness direction from a surface.

Abstract:
A method of making a polycrystalline diamond compact includes mixing a diamond particle feed with a binder to form a mixture, forming the mixture into a precompact, heating the pre-compact in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to substantially drive off the binder, oxidizing the pre-compact in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature and for a time sufficient to burn off non-diamond carbon without overoxidizing diamond, and sintering the pre-compact at high pressure and high temperature to form a polycrystalline diamond compact. The method may also include oxidizing the diamond particle feed prior to mixing with the binder.
