Abstract

An abrasive body is provided which has high strength and an ability to withstand high temperatures making it suitable as a tool insert for dressing tools and surface set drill bits. The body comprises a mass of diamond particles present in an amount of 80 to 90 percent by volume of the body and a second phase present in an amount of 10 to 20 percent by volume of the body, the mass of diamond particles containing substantial diamond-to-diamond bonding to form a coherent skeletal mass and the second phase containing nickel and silicon, the nickel being in the form of nickel and/or nickel silicide and the silicon being in the form of silicon, silicon carbide and/or nickel silicide. The abrasive bodies are made under conditions of elevated temperature and pressure suitable for diamond compact manufacture.
