Abstract

In this paper, a polycrystalline diamond was synthesized by the direct detonation method using graphite as the carbon source. By comparing the numbers of the obtained diamond particles and the original graphite particles, it was found that when the graphite phase transformed into the polycrystalline diamond during the detonation process, a single graphite particle would form multiple diamond nuclei, and the nuclei would grow simultaneously to form polycrystals. Accordingly, a validation experiment was designed, which added different ratios of inert additives while keeping the ratio of graphite to hexogen (RDX) unchanged. It was found that increasing the ratio of inert additives within a certain range could increase the grain size of a polycrystalline diamond, which is consistent with the obtained polycrystalline mechanism.
