在6 GPa和1500?C的压力和温度范围内,利用高压熔渗生长法制备了纯金刚石聚晶,深入研究了高温高压下金刚石聚晶生长过程中碳的转化机制.利用光学显微镜、X-射线衍射、场发射扫描电子显微镜检测,发现在熔渗过程中金刚石层出现了石墨化现象,在烧结过程中金刚石颗粒表面形貌发生了变化.根据实验现象分析,在制备过程中存在三种碳的转化机制:1)金属熔渗阶段金刚石颗粒表面石墨化产生石墨;2)产生的石墨在烧结阶段很快转变为填充空隙的金刚石碳;3)金刚石直接溶解在金属溶液中,以金刚石形式在颗粒间析出,填充空隙.本文研究碳的转化机制为在高温高压金属溶剂法合成金刚石的条件下(6 GPa和1500?C的压力和温度范围内)工业批量化制备无添加剂、无空隙的纯金刚石聚晶提供了重要的理论指导。
Recently, a variety of carbon materials can be turned into pure polycrystalline diamond directly without any additives under extreme high pressures and high temperatures(pressure above 13 GPa and temperature above 2000?C).Polycrystalline diamond shows a broad application prospect because of its superior performance. However, it is difficult to realize the industrialization of pure polycrystalline diamond on current high pressure equipment due to the high synthetic conditions. The focus of our work is that the synthesis of pure polycrystalline diamond can be realized in the same synthesis range of single diamond produced from the solvent metal(pressure below 6 GPa and temperature below1500?C). The carbon materials can precipitate from the solution in a form of diamond, and fill into the gaps between the diamond particles. According to some domestic scholars' researches on polycrystalline diamond, the solvent method can reduce the high temperature and high pressure conditions on which carbon may transform into diamond directly, and precipitate from the solution in the form of diamond into the gaps between diamond particles. Through a deep study of the approach, the low addition content, even pure polycrystalline diamond without gaps can be prepared. In this paper we have prepared pure polycrystalline diamonds under relatively lower conditions(the pressure being below 6 GPa and the temperature below 1500?C) by the method that the metal solution layer infiltrates into the gaps between the pure diamond particles and then the diamond particles will grow up. We also carry out a research on the mechanism of carbon transformation in the preparation of polycrystalline diamond. Compared with the traditional method of powder mixing technology, the melt infiltration and growth method is more advantageous to prepare high abrasive resistance and high density pure polycrystalline diamond.In order to prepare pure flawless polycrystalline diamonds without additives by China-type large volume cubic high-pressure
