Abstract
A polycrystalline superhard construction comprises a body of polycrystalline superhard material, and a substrate of hard material bonded thereto along an interface. The body of polycrystalline superhard material comprises a first region abutting the substrate along the interface and a second region bonded to the first region. The second region defines a rake face, a cutting edge, a chamfer and at least a part of a flank face, the cutting edge being defined by an edge of the flank face joined to the chamfer, the chamfer extending between the cutting edge and the rake face. The height of the chamfer in a plane parallel to the plane through which the longitudinal axis of the polycrystalline superhard construction extends is less than the thickness of the second region. The first region comprises a material having coarser grains than the second region. There is also disclosed a method of making the same.
