Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to cubic boron nitride (cBN) cutting elements that have high cBN content and that are cuttable by electric discharge machining (EDM). A cutting element according to an embodiment includes a self-sintered polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) compact, having a first phase of cubic boron nitride (cBN) particles and a ceramic binder phase with titanium compounds. The first phase occupies greater than 80% by volume of the self-sintered PCBN compact. The self-sintered PCBN compact has an electrical conductivity sufficient to be cuttable by electrical discharge machining.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming a self-sintered polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) cutting element comprising: mixing a plurality of cBN particles with a binder precursor to form a mixture, the mixture comprising over 80% by volume cBN particles; HPHT sintering the mixture without substrate support, to form a self-sintered PCBN compact; and cutting the self-sintered PCBN compact by electrical discharge machining; in which the binder precursor comprises one o…
