Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object is to provide polycrystalline diamond applicable to diverse applications; and a water jet orifice, a stylus for gravure printing, a scriber, a diamond cutting tool, and a scribing wheel that include such polycrystalline diamond. This object is achieved by polycrystalline diamond obtained by converting and sintering non-diamond carbon under an ultrahigh pressure and at a high temperature without addition of a sintering aid or a catalyst, wherein sintered diamond grains constituting the polycrystalline diamond have an average grain diameter of more than 50 nm and less than 2500 nm and a purity of 99% or more, and the diamond has a D90 grain diameter of (average grain diameter+average grain diameter×0.9) or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a polycrystalline diamond, the method comprising steps of: preparing non-diamond carbon having D90 grain diameter of (average grain diameter+average grain diameter×0.9) or less; and converting and sintering the non-diamond carbon under an ultrahigh pressure and at a high temperature without addition of a sintering aid or a catalyst, wherein: sintered diamond grains constituting the polycrystalline diamond have an average grain diameter of more than 50 nm and less than 2500 nm and a purity of 99% or more, and the sintered diamond grains have a D90 grain diameter of (average grain diameter+average grain diameter×0.9) or less. 2. The method for manufacturing the polycrystalline diamond according to claim 1 , wherein the sintered diamond grains have a D90 grain diameter of (average grain diameter+average grain diameter×0.7) or less. 3. The method for manufacturing the polycrystalline diamond according to claim 1 , wherein the sintered diamond grains have a D90 grain diameter of (average grain diameter+average grain diameter×0.5 ) or less. 4. The method for manufacturing the polycrystalline diamond according to claim 1 , wherein the polycrystalline diamond has a hardness of 100 GPa or more. 5. The method for manufacturing the polycrystalline diamond according to claim 1 , wherein the non-diamond carbon is a carbon material having a graphite-type layer structure.
