    Abstract: Methods for forming cutting elements, methods for forming polycrystalline compacts, and related polycrystalline compacts are disclosed. Grains of a hard material are subjected to a high-pressure, high-temperature process to form a polycrystalline compact. Inclusion of at least one relatively quick spike in system pressure or temperature during an otherwise plateaued temperature or pressure stage accommodates formation of inter-granular bonds between the grains. The brevity of the peak stage may avoid undesirable grain growth. Embodiments of the methods may also include at least one of oscillating at least one system condition (e.g., pressure, temperature) and subjecting the grains to ultrasonic or mechanical vibrations. A resulting polycrystalline compact may include a high density of inter-granularly bonded hard material with a minimized amount of catalyst material, and may provide improved thermal stability, wear resistance, toughness, and behavior during use of a cutting element incorporating the polycrystalline compact.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to methods of modeling leaching behavior of a polycrystalline diamond (“PCD”) material used in leached polycrystalline diamond compacts (“PDCs”) and methods of monitoring leaching of a PCD material. In an embodiment, a method of modeling leaching behavior is disclosed. A PCD table is provided, which includes a plurality of bonded diamond grains defining a plurality of interstitial regions in which a metallic material is disposed. The PCD table is leached with a leaching agent to at least partially remove the metallic material from the PCD table. A leach depth of the PCD table is determined. A concentration of at least one constituent of the leaching agent is also determined. The leach depth is correlated with the concentration of the at least one metal to generate the model of leaching behavior.
