Abstract
Mechanical properties of high-purity nano-polycrystalline diamonds synthesized by direct conversion from graphite and various non-graphitic carbons under static high pressures and high temperatures were investigated by microindentation testing with a Knoop indenter and observation of microstructures around the indentations. Results of indentation hardness tests using a superhard synthetic diamond Knoop indenter showed that the polycrystalline diamond synthesized from graphite at ⩾15 GPa and 2300–2500 °C (consisting of fine grains 10–30 nm in size and layered crystals) has very high Knoop hardness (Hk ⩾ 110 GPa), whereas the hardness of polycrystalline diamonds synthesized from non-graphitic carbons at ⩾15 GPa and below 2000 °C (consisting only of single-nano grains 5–10 nm in size) are significantly lower (Hk = 70 to 90 GPa). Microstructure observations beneath the indentations of these nano-polycrystalline diamonds suggest that the existence of a lamellar structure and the bonding strength of the grain boundary play important roles in controlling the hardness of the polycrystalline diamond.
