【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ダイヤモンドおよびその製造方法に関するもので、特に、切削工具や掘削ビットなどに用いられる高強度で熱的特性に優れた高純度ダイヤモンド多結晶体とその製造方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の切削工具や掘削ビットなどに使われるダイヤモンド多結晶体には、焼結助剤あるいは結合剤としてCo、Ni、Feなどの鉄族金属や、SiCなどのセラミックスが用いられている。また、焼結助剤として炭酸塩を用いたものが知られている(特開平4−74766号公報、特開平4−114966号公報)。これらは、ダイヤモンドの粉末を焼結助剤や結合剤とともにダイヤモンドが熱力学的に安定な高圧高温条件下(通常、圧力5〜8GPa、温度1300〜2200℃)で焼結することにより得られる。一方、天然に産出するダイヤモンド多結晶体(カーボナードやバラス)も知られ、一部掘削ビットとして使用されているが、材質のバラツキが大きく、また産出量も少ないため、工業的にはあまり使用されていない。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
Coなどの鉄系金属を焼結助剤としたダイヤモンド多結晶体には、Coなどの鉄系金属が含まれ、これがダイヤモンドの黒鉛化を促す触媒として作用するため耐熱性に劣る。すなわち、不活性ガス雰囲気中でも700度程度でダイヤモンドが黒鉛化してしまう。また、この触媒金属とダイヤモンドの熱膨張差のため、多結晶体内に微細なクラックが入りやすい。さらにダイヤモンドの粒子間にCoなどの金属が連続層として存在するため、多結晶体の硬度や強度などの機械的特性が低下する。耐熱性を上げるために上記の粒界の金属を除去したものも知られており、これにより耐熱温度は約1200℃と向上するが、多結晶体が多孔質となるため強度がさらに大幅に低下する。SiCを結合体としたダイヤモンド焼結体は耐熱性には優れるが、ダイヤモンド粒同士は結合がないため、強度は低い。また、焼結助剤として炭酸塩を用いたダイヤモンド焼結体は、Co結合剤による焼結体に比べると耐熱性に優れるが、粒界に炭酸塩物質が存在するため、機械的特性は十分とはいえない。
【0004】
一方、ダイヤモンド製造方法として、黒鉛(グラファイト)やグラッシーカーボン、アモルファスカーボンなどの非ダイヤモンド炭素を超高圧高温下で、触媒や溶媒なしに直接的にダイヤモンドに変換させることが可能である。非ダイヤモンド相からダイヤモンド相へ直接変換すると同時に焼結させることでダイヤモンド単相の多結晶体が得られる。たとえば、J.Chem.Phys.,38(1963)631-643[F.P.Bundy]やJapan.J.Appl.Phys.,11(1972)578-590[M.Wakatsuki, K.Ichinose, T.Aoki]、Nature 259(1976)38[S.Naka, K.Horii, Y.Takeda, T.Hanawa]には、グラファイトを出発物質として14−18GPa、3000K以上の超高圧高温下の直接変換によりダイヤモンド多結晶体が得られることが開示されている。しかし、いずれもグラファイトなどの導電性のある非ダイヤモンド炭素に直接電流を流すことで加熱する直接通電加熱法によっているため、未変換グラファイトが残留したり、ダイヤモンド粒子径が不均質、あるいは部分的に焼結が不十分となる。このため、硬度や強度などの機械的特性が不十分で、しかも欠片状の多結晶体しか得られなかった。したがって、切削工具やビットなどに適用できず、実用化にはいたっていない。また、たとえば、特開2002−66302号公開特許公報にはカーボンナノチューブを10GPa以上、1600℃以上に加熱して、微細なダイヤモンドを合成する方法が記載されている。しかし、原料のカーボンナノチューブは極めて高価であり、製造コストに大きな問題がある。また、開示されている方法はカーボンナノチューブをダイアモンドアンビルで加圧し、炭酸ガスレーザーで集光加熱しているため、切削工具に適用できるサイズの均質なダイヤモンド多結晶体の製造は不可能である。
【0005】
本発明は、以上の従来の技術の問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、切削工具やドリルビットとして十分な強度、硬度、耐熱性を有する緻密で均質なダイヤモンド単相の多結晶体を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記のような問題を解決するため、超高圧下で非ダイヤモンド炭素を加熱してダイヤモンドに直接変換させる際、非ダイヤモンド炭素を直接通電加熱せずに、間接的に安定加熱できる方法を開発、実施したところ、通常のグラファイト型層状構造の炭素物質から99%以上ダイヤモンドからなる微細で強靭な多結晶体が得られることがわかった。得られるダイヤモンド多結晶体は、平均粒径が100nm以下、多くの場合20nm以下の微細なダイヤモンド粒子からなる緻密な組織を有し、介在物をほとんど含まず、硬度が70GPa以上と単結晶並の硬さを示し、不活性ガス中で1600℃まで劣化しないという、従来にない特徴を有することがわかった。また、従来はベルト型やガードル型の一軸圧縮性の超高圧装置で作成されていたためダイヤモンド多結晶体に異方性があり、特に圧縮方向に(111)配向する傾向が強く、層状に劈開による割れが起こりやすい傾向があったが、本発明では静水圧性の高い試料室構成で、かつマルチアンビルと呼ばれる等方圧縮が可能な加圧システムを採用しているため、従来になく等方性の多結晶体で、何れの方向からの圧縮や引っ張りに対しても高い強度を持つことがわかった。
【0007】
すなわち、本発明の特徴は、間接的に加熱する手段を備えた圧力セルに非ダイヤモンド炭素物質を入れ、加熱および加圧を行うことにより、焼結助剤や触媒の添加なしに直接変換でダイヤモンド多結晶体を製造することである。加熱手段としては、高融点金属からなるヒーターに電流を流して発熱させるものであることが、安定かつ効果的な間接加熱に有利である。前記非ダイヤモンド炭素物質と前記間接的に加熱する手段の間に絶縁体層を有し、その絶縁体層の少なくとも一部にアルカリハライド物質を設けてもよい。非ダイヤモンド炭素物質として純度99%以上の黒鉛を用いることが望ましい。加熱温度Tと加える圧力Pの条件としては、1800℃以上の加熱と20GPa以上の加圧、または2300℃以上の加熱と12GPa以上の加圧とするのがよい。さらに一般的には、下式の関係を満たすようにすれば、高品質のダイヤモンド多結晶体が得られる。
T>5P2−241P+4909
ここでT:温度(℃)、P:圧力(GPa)
【0008】
また、本発明に係るダイヤモンド多結晶体は、その製造方法が新規であるにとどまらず、ダイヤモンド多結晶体自体が新規であり、次のような特徴を有する。すなわち、超高圧高温下でグラファイト型層状構造の炭素物質から焼結助剤や触媒の添加なしに変換焼結されたダイヤモンドからなる多結晶体であって、ダイヤモンドの平均粒径が100nm以下、純度が99%以上のダイヤモンド多結晶体である。そして、多くの場合、平均粒径が20nm以下であり、硬度が70GPa以上であり、多結晶体の任意方向のX線回折の(220)回折強度(I(220))の(111)回折強度(I(111))に対する比率I(220)/I(111)が0.1以上である。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明に係る多結晶体を製造する方法の実施の形態を図1に示す例を用いて説明する。図1は本発明に係る多結晶体を製造する方法に用いる高温高圧セルの断面を示したものである。外部はランタンクロマイト(LaCrO3)でできた容器になっており、内部には試料1が収められる。本例では2つの試料が高温高圧セルの中にセットできる。この試料1はダイヤモンドの原料となる非ダイヤモンド炭素、たとえば黒鉛(グラファイト)を所定の形状に形成したものである。この試料1の形状がほぼそのまま、合成される多結晶体の形状となる。ここでは、黒鉛を円柱状に形成したものであり、図1には円柱の軸線に沿って半分に切断した断面が示されている。試料1の周りにはアルカリハライド物質である塩化ナトリウムの粉末2を配しており、さらにその周りを酸化マグネシウム3(MgO)で包んである。さらに酸化マグネシウム3の層の外側にレニウム(Re)よりなるヒーター4が設けられ、ヒーター4の外にはジルコニア(ZrO2)よりなる断熱材5が設けられている。レニウムのような高融点金属からなるヒーターに電流を流して発熱させることで、試料1が間接加熱でありながらも効果的かつ安定に加熱されるようになっている。また、試料1とヒーター4の間には、高温でも安定なアルカリハライド物質である塩化ナトリウムの粉末2を配しているので、試料1あるいは生成されたダイヤモンド多結晶体はヒーター4から絶縁されるとともに加圧時にもその表面は保護される。高温高圧セルの上下にはモリブデン(Mo)からなる電極6があり、ヒーターを加熱するための電力が外部から供給されるようになっている。そして、断熱材5の周囲には酸化マグネシウム又は酸化コバルトの圧力媒体7が、電極6の上下には外部はランタンクロマイト(LaCrO3)の圧力媒体8がそれぞれ設けられている。そして、高温高圧セルのほぼ中心には試料の温度を測定するためのタングステン・レニウムの熱電対が設けられている。
【0010】
図1に示すように試料や各種圧力媒体を装填したら、この高温高圧セルをマルチアンビル型加圧装置に入れて加圧する。加圧装置よりの荷重は高温高圧セルの圧力媒体を通して、ほぼ静水圧として試料に加えられる。同時に、電極6を通してヒーター4に電力を供給して試料1を加熱する。試料に加わる圧力は、ロードセル等で出力される加圧装置の荷重と加圧面の角度・面積より求めることができ、試料1の温度は近くに設けられた熱電対9によって把握できる。所定の温度・圧力で一定時間保持して試料1を多結晶体に合成する。合成後、たとえば600℃程度に保って減圧を行うと良質な焼結体を得るのに特に効果的である。
【0011】
【実施例】
次に、本発明をダイヤモンド多結晶体の合成に適用した実施例を示す。本実施例では、図1に示す高温高圧セルに試料1として純度99.9995%の黒鉛を用いた。また試料1の形状は直径1.5mm、高さ1mmの円柱である。所定の温度、圧力に加熱・加圧し約10分その状態を保持し、次に急冷し圧力を数時間かけて大気圧まで減圧する。温度および圧力を変えながら試験を繰り返した。その結果、圧力が12GPa(約12万気圧)の場合には、2300℃以上の温度で透明な立方晶のダイヤモンド多結晶体が得られることが判明した。また、圧力が20GPaの場合には、1800℃以上の温度で同様のダイヤモンド多結晶体が得られることが判明した。さらに、温度・圧力を変えて試験を行い、その結果を表示したものが図2に示すグラフである。縦軸は温度を、横軸は圧力をそれぞれ示しており、図中に示した点が実施した試験データを示している。これの試験データのうち、丸で示された点においては透明な立方晶のダイヤモンド多結晶体が得られた。次に四角で表された点では、白く濁った立方晶のダイヤモンド多結晶体が得られた。また、三角で表された点では、六方晶ダイヤモンドが混在していた。そして、これらの結果より、温度と圧力が次式
T>5P2−241P+4909
ここでT:温度(℃)、P:圧力(GPa)
を満たすときに、透明な立方晶のダイヤモンド多結晶体が得られることが判明した。なお、温度は3000℃以下であることが、高温高圧セルを溶解させないためにも望ましい。
【0012】
本実施例において丸で示される条件で得られたダイヤモンド多結晶体はX線回折およびラマン分光分析により、純粋な立方晶ダイヤモンドであることがわかった。また、X線回折、走査電子顕微鏡観察および光学的観察により、極めてよく焼結された多結晶焼結体であり、光学的には単結晶ダイヤモンドのように無色透明である。多結晶であるため単結晶ダイヤモンドのような劈開性がなく、どの方向の荷重に対しても安定した強度・硬度を有する。本実施例の製造方法によって得られたダイヤモンド多結晶体は、研究用の超高圧発生装置の部品や切削工具に利用することができる。また、試料の形状が、ほぼそのまま合成される多結晶体の形状となるので、本例の円柱状以外でも利用形態に合せて任意の形状にすることができる。黒鉛は希望する形状への加工がダイヤモンドに比べて容易である。さらに、試料の大きさを変えれば任意のサイズの多結晶体を得ることができ、高温高圧セルを大きくして大きな試料を使えば10mm程度のダイヤモンド多結晶体も製造できる。
【0013】
本実施例の製造方法によって得られたダイヤモンド多結晶体の性質について試験データに基づいて詳細する。
【0014】
得られたダイヤモンド多結晶体の微細構造を調べるため、透過電子顕微鏡(TEM)で観察した。その結果、図2の丸で示された条件においてはいずれも100nm以下、多くは10−20nm以下の粒径の微細なダイヤモンドが緻密に結合しており、粒子界面には不純物や介在物は見られないことが判った。図3にその代表的な透過電子顕微鏡写真を示す。
【0015】
本発明で得られたダイヤモンド多結晶体は等方性が高いことがX線回折実験より判った。すなわちダイヤモンド多結晶体の任意方向のX線回折の(220)回折強度(I(220))の(111)回折強度(I(111))に対する比率I(220)/I(111)はいずれも0.1以上であり、多くは0.2〜0.25の範囲にあった。これに対し、ベルト型の一軸圧縮性の超高圧装置で作製されたダイヤモンド多結晶体は、一軸圧縮の方向と平行にいくらか{111}配向しており、X線回折線の測定方向によっては、上記比率I(220)/I(111)が0.1未満であった。
【0016】
次に、得られたダイヤモンド多結晶体の硬度を測定した。試料の表面をダイヤモンド電着砥石で鏡面に研磨し測定面とした。微小硬度計を用い、マイクロヌープ圧子で、荷重500gにより硬度を測定した。比較のために、不純物0.1ppm以下の高純度ダイヤモンド単結晶の(100)面上の〈100〉方位のヌープ硬度を同一条件で測定した。表1に結果を示す。いずれも70GPaを超える硬度を示し、条件によっては110GPaを超えてほとんど単結晶の硬度と同等の値を示した。
【表1】
【0017】
【発明の効果】
以上、本発明に多結晶体を製造する方法は、触媒や焼結助剤を加えることなく純度の高い原料物質から純度の高い多結晶体を合成するので、透明度が高く物性に優れた多結晶体を得られるという効果を奏する。極めてよく焼結された多結晶焼結体であり、単結晶ダイヤモンドのような劈開性がなく、どの方向の荷重に対しても安定した強度・硬度を有するので、切削工具等の工業的利用に適した材料が得られる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to diamond and a method for producing the same, and more particularly to a high-purity diamond polycrystal having high strength and excellent thermal characteristics used for a cutting tool, a drill bit, and the like, and a method for producing the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Diamond polycrystals used for conventional cutting tools and drill bits use iron group metals such as Co, Ni and Fe, and ceramics such as SiC as sintering aids or binders. In addition, those using carbonate as a sintering aid are known (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 4-74766 and 4-114966). These can be obtained by sintering diamond powder together with a sintering aid and a binder under high pressure and high temperature conditions (usually pressure 5-8 GPa, temperature 1300-2200 ° C.) under which the diamond is thermodynamically stable. On the other hand, naturally-occurring diamond polycrystals (carbonados and ballasts) are also known, and some of them are used as drilling bits. However, they are widely used industrially due to large variations in material and low output. Not.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The polycrystalline diamond using an iron-based metal such as Co as a sintering aid contains an iron-based metal such as Co, which acts as a catalyst for promoting the graphitization of diamond, and therefore has poor heat resistance. That is, diamond is graphitized at about 700 degrees even in an inert gas atmosphere. Further, due to the difference in thermal expansion between the catalytic metal and diamond, fine cracks are likely to occur in the polycrystalline body. Further, since a metal such as Co exists as a continuous layer between the diamond particles, the mechanical properties such as hardness and strength of the polycrystalline body are lowered. It is also known that the metal at the grain boundary is removed in order to increase the heat resistance. This improves the heat resistance temperature to about 1200 ° C, but the polycrystalline body becomes porous, so the strength is further greatly reduced. To do. A diamond sintered body using SiC as a bonded body is excellent in heat resistance, but the diamond grains are not bonded to each other, so that the strength is low. In addition, a diamond sintered body using carbonate as a sintering aid is superior in heat resistance compared to a sintered body using a Co binder, but has sufficient mechanical properties due to the presence of a carbonate substance at the grain boundary. That's not true.
[0004]
On the other hand, as a diamond manufacturing method, non-diamond carbon such as graphite, glassy carbon, and amorphous carbon can be directly converted to diamond without a catalyst or a solvent under an ultra-high pressure and high temperature. A single-phase polycrystalline diamond can be obtained by direct conversion from non-diamond phase to diamond phase and sintering. For example, J.Chem.Phys., 38 (1963) 631-643 [FPBundy], Japan.J.Appl.Phys., 11 (1972) 578-590 [M.Wakatsuki, K.Ichinose, T.Aoki], In Nature 259 (1976) 38 [S. Naka, K. Horii, Y. Takeda, T. Hanawa], a polycrystalline diamond is obtained by direct conversion at 14-18 GPa or more under high pressure and high temperature of 3000-18 K or more using graphite as a starting material. Is disclosed. However, since all are based on the direct current heating method in which a current is directly applied to conductive non-diamond carbon such as graphite, unconverted graphite remains, the diamond particle size is uneven, or partially Sintering is insufficient. For this reason, mechanical properties such as hardness and strength are insufficient, and only a piece-like polycrystal is obtained. Therefore, it cannot be applied to cutting tools and bits, and has not been put into practical use. For example, JP 2002-66302 A discloses a method of synthesizing fine diamond by heating a carbon nanotube to 10 GPa or more and 1600 ° C. or more. However, the raw material carbon nanotubes are extremely expensive, and there is a big problem in manufacturing cost. Moreover, since the disclosed method pressurizes carbon nanotubes with a diamond anvil and condenses and heats them with a carbon dioxide laser, it is impossible to produce a homogeneous diamond polycrystal having a size applicable to a cutting tool.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and is a dense and homogeneous diamond single-phase polycrystal having sufficient strength, hardness and heat resistance as a cutting tool or a drill bit. The purpose is to provide.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors, when heating non-diamond carbon under ultra-high pressure and directly converting it to diamond, do not directly heat non-diamond carbon, but indirectly heat stably. As a result of developing and carrying out a method that can be used, it has been found that a fine and tough polycrystalline body made of diamond of 99% or more can be obtained from a carbon material having a normal graphite layer structure. The obtained polycrystalline diamond has a dense structure composed of fine diamond particles having an average particle diameter of 100 nm or less, and often 20 nm or less, hardly contains inclusions, and has a hardness of 70 GPa or more, which is equivalent to that of a single crystal. It has been found that it has an unprecedented characteristic that it exhibits hardness and does not deteriorate to 1600 ° C. in an inert gas. Further, since it was conventionally produced with a belt-type or girdle-type uniaxial compressible ultra-high pressure apparatus, the polycrystalline diamond has anisotropy, and in particular, has a strong tendency to be (111) -oriented in the compression direction, resulting in layered cleavage Although there was a tendency for cracking to occur, the present invention adopts a highly isostatically compressible pressure chamber called a multi-anvil and isotropic because it has a highly isostatic pressure. It was found that this polycrystal has high strength against compression and pulling from any direction.
[0007]
That is, the feature of the present invention is that a non-diamond carbon material is placed in a pressure cell equipped with a means for indirectly heating, and heating and pressurizing are performed, so that diamond can be directly converted without adding a sintering aid or a catalyst. It is to produce a polycrystal. As the heating means, it is advantageous for stable and effective indirect heating that a current is passed through a heater made of a refractory metal to generate heat. An insulator layer may be provided between the non-diamond carbon material and the means for indirectly heating, and an alkali halide material may be provided on at least a part of the insulator layer. It is desirable to use graphite having a purity of 99% or more as the non-diamond carbon material. As conditions for the heating temperature T and the pressure P to be applied, heating at 1800 ° C. or higher and pressurization at 20 GPa or higher, or heating at 2300 ° C. or higher and pressurization at 12 GPa or higher is preferable. More generally, a high-quality diamond polycrystal can be obtained by satisfying the relationship of the following formula.
T> 5P 2 -241P + 4909
Where T: temperature (° C.), P: pressure (GPa)
[0008]
Further, the polycrystalline diamond according to the present invention is not limited to a novel manufacturing method, and the polycrystalline diamond itself is novel and has the following characteristics. That is, it is a polycrystalline body made of diamond obtained by converting and sintering a carbon material having a graphite-type layered structure under an ultra-high pressure and high temperature without adding a sintering aid or a catalyst, and the average particle diameter of diamond is 100 nm or less, purity Is a polycrystalline diamond having 99% or more. In many cases, the average particle diameter is 20 nm or less, the hardness is 70 GPa or more, and the (111) diffraction intensity of the (220) diffraction intensity (I (220) ) of X-ray diffraction in any direction of the polycrystalline body. (I (111)) ratio I (220) / I (111 ) is 0.1 or more.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of a method for producing a polycrystalline body according to the present invention will be described with reference to an example shown in FIG. FIG. 1 shows a cross section of a high-temperature high-pressure cell used in the method for producing a polycrystalline body according to the present invention.

[0011]
【Example】
Next, an example in which the present invention is applied to the synthesis of a polycrystalline diamond will be described. In this example, graphite having a purity of 99.9995% was used as the
Where T: temperature (° C.), P: pressure (GPa)
It has been found that a transparent cubic polycrystalline diamond can be obtained when The temperature is preferably 3000 ° C. or lower in order not to dissolve the high temperature / high pressure cell.
[0012]
The polycrystalline diamond obtained under the conditions indicated by the circles in this example was found to be pure cubic diamond by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopic analysis. Further, it is a polycrystalline sintered body that is extremely well sintered by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope observation and optical observation, and optically colorless and transparent like single crystal diamond. Since it is polycrystalline, it does not have the cleavage property of single crystal diamond, and has stable strength and hardness against load in any direction. The polycrystalline diamond obtained by the manufacturing method of this example can be used for parts and cutting tools of research ultra-high pressure generators. In addition, since the shape of the sample is the shape of a polycrystalline body that is synthesized almost as it is, any shape other than the cylindrical shape of this example can be formed in accordance with the use form. Graphite is easier to process into the desired shape than diamond. Furthermore, a polycrystalline body of an arbitrary size can be obtained by changing the size of the sample, and a diamond polycrystalline body of about 10 mm can be manufactured by using a large sample by enlarging the high-temperature and high-pressure cell.
[0013]
The properties of the polycrystalline diamond obtained by the production method of this example will be described in detail based on test data.
[0014]
In order to investigate the microstructure of the obtained polycrystalline diamond, it was observed with a transmission electron microscope (TEM). As a result, under the conditions indicated by the circles in FIG. 2, fine diamonds having a particle size of 100 nm or less, and most often 10-20 nm or less, are closely bonded, and impurities and inclusions are not observed at the particle interface. I found it impossible. FIG. 3 shows a typical transmission electron micrograph thereof.
[0015]
It was found from the X-ray diffraction experiment that the polycrystalline diamond obtained by the present invention is highly isotropic. That is, the ratio I (220) / I (111) of (220) diffraction intensity (I (220) ) to (111) diffraction intensity (I (111) ) of X-ray diffraction in any direction of the polycrystalline diamond is It was 0.1 or more, and many were in the range of 0.2 to 0.25. On the other hand, the polycrystalline diamond produced by the belt-type uniaxial compressible ultra-high pressure apparatus has some {111} orientation parallel to the direction of uniaxial compression, and depending on the measurement direction of the X-ray diffraction line, The ratio I (220) / I (111) was less than 0.1.
[0016]
Next, the hardness of the obtained polycrystalline diamond was measured. The surface of the sample was polished to a mirror surface with a diamond electrodeposition grindstone to obtain a measurement surface. Using a micro hardness meter, the hardness was measured with a micro Knoop indenter under a load of 500 g. For comparison, the Knoop hardness in the <100> orientation on the (100) plane of a high-purity diamond single crystal having an impurity of 0.1 ppm or less was measured under the same conditions. Table 1 shows the results. All showed hardness exceeding 70 GPa and depending on conditions, it exceeded 110 GPa and showed a value almost equivalent to the hardness of a single crystal.
[Table 1]
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the method for producing a polycrystal according to the present invention synthesizes a polycrystal having a high purity from a raw material having a high purity without adding a catalyst or a sintering aid. There is an effect that the body can be obtained. It is an extremely well-sintered polycrystalline sintered body that has no cleaving property like single crystal diamond, and has stable strength and hardness against loads in any direction. A suitable material is obtained.
