Abstract:
A drill bit that includes a body having a lower end face for engaging a rock formation, the end face having a plurality of raised ribs extending from the face of the bit body and separated by a plurality of channels therebetween; and at least one of the plurality of ribs having a cutting portion of the at least one rib comprising a first diamond impregnated matrix material and at least a portion of a gage surface region thereof comprising a second diamond impregnated matrix material, the gage surface region backed by a third matrix material is disclosed.
Abstract:
A matrix powder for forming a matrix bit body, the matrix powder essentially consisting of a plurality of carbide particles having a particle size distribution of ~20% of a median particle size; and a plurality of metal binder particles is disclosed.
Abstract:
Ein Matrixpulver zur Bildung eines Matrixmeißelkörpers, wobei das Matrixpulver im wesentlichen aus einer Mehrzahl von Carbidpartikel besteht, die eine Verteilung der Partikelgröße von ±20% um eine mediane Partikelgröße aufweisen; und eine Mehrzahl von Binderpartikel ist offenbart.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a drill bit that includes a bit body having a plurality of blades extending radially therefrom comprises adhering a first matrix material to at least a portion of a mould cavity corresponding to an outer surface of the bit body, loading a second matrix material into the other portions of the mould cavity and heating the mould contents to forma matrix body drill bit.
Abstract:
A drill bit is disclosed that has a bit body with a plurality of blades extending radially therefrom and at least one cutting element for engaging a formation disposed on at least one of the plurality of blades. At least a portion of the plurality of blades has a first matrix region made of a plurality of first carbide particles separated by a first binder phase, wherein the plurality of first carbide particles have a mean free path of at least 40 microns.
Abstract:
A matrix powder for forming a matrix drill bit body comprises a plurality of carbide particles having a particle size distribution of ±20% or less of a median particle size and a plurality of metal binder particles. The metal binder may comprise 8 to 12 weight % of the matrix powder. Optionally, the carbide may be one of cast tungsten carbide, cemented tungsten carbide or macrocrystalline tungsten carbide. Preferably, the mean particle size of the carbide particles ranges from 50 to 840 microns. A drill bit comprises a bit body having a plurality of blades 10, at least a portion of the plurality of blades comprises a first matrix region (10a, Fig. 1b), wherein the first matrix region comprises a plurality of carbide particles, of narrow size distribution, separated by a binder phase. The carbide particles have a mean free path of at least 40 microns.
