Abstract: Enhanced inserts are formed having a cylindrical grip and a protrusion extending from the grip. An ultra hard material layer is bonded on top of the protrusion. T he inserts are mounted on a rock bit and contact the earth formations off center. The ultra hard material layer is thickest at a critical zone which encompasses a major portion of the regi on of contact between the insert and the earth formation. Transition layers may also be formed between the ultra hard material layer and the protrusion so as to reduce the residual stresses form ed on the interface between the ultra hard material and the protrusion.

Abstract: A drill bit having a canted or non-canted leg backface, a canted or non-canted seal in the interface between the cone backface and the shirttail, and a canted seal that can be semi-encapsulated so that there is no straight-line path across the seal.

Abstract: A culling element for a rock drilling bit comprises a cylindrical grip section (10, figure 1A) from which extends a protrusion 512 having a non-axisymmetric outer surface and a layer of ultra hard material 530 having a convex axisymmetric outer surface is formed over the protrusion. A critical contact region or zone 574, which is the portion of an insert closest to a hole wall while drilling and the region most liable to cracking due to stresses during drilling, is defined on the insert. Measured from a central axis (32, figure 1A) the critical zone is located not less than a first angle (72, figure 1A) of around 20{ and not greater than a second angle (73, figure 1A) of around 80{. Inside this region the ultra hard layer, generally polycrystalline diamond or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, is thicker than outside to reduce cracking or delamination. One or more transition layers may be placed between the protrusion and the ultra hard layer.

Abstract: A cutting element for a rock drilling bit comprises a cylindrical grip section (10, figure 1A) from which extends a protrusion 712 having an axisymmetric outer surface and a layer of ultra hard material 730 having a convex non-axisymmetric outer surface is formed over the protrusion. A critical contact region or zone 774, which is the portion of an insert closest to a hole wall while drilling and the region most liable to cracking due to stresses during drilling, is defined on the insert. Measured from a central axis (32, figure 1A) the critical zone is located not less than a first angle (72, figure 1A) of around 20{ and not greater than a second angle (73, figure 1A) of around 80{.

Abstract: A method for simulating the drilling performance of a roller cone bit drilli ng an earth formation may be used to generate a visual representation of drilling, to design roller cone drill bits, and to optimize the drilling performance of a roller cone bit. The method for generating a visual representation of a roller cone bit drilling earth formations includes selecting bit design parameters, selecting drilling parameters, and selecting an earth formation to be drilled. The method further includes calculating, from the bit design parameters, drilling parameters and earth formation, parameters of a crater formed when one of a plurality of cutting elements contacts the earth formation. Th e method further includes calculating a bottomhole geometry, wherein the crater is removed from a bottomhole surface. The method also includes incrementally rotating the bit and repeating the calculating of crater parameters and bottomhole geometry based on calculated roller cane rotation speed and geometrical location with respect to rotation of said roller cone drill bit about its axis. The method also includes converti ng the crater and bottomhole geometry parameters into a visual representation.

Abstract: A drill bit (10) has a bit body and at least one rolling cone cutter. The cutter has a plurality of gage inserts (70) secured to said cone cutter in a circumferential gage row and a plurality of off-gage cutter elements (80) secured to said cone cutter in a circumferential first inner row of cutter elements. Relationships between the sizes and positions of the inserts (70) and the cutter elements (80) are described.

Abstract: A rolling cone drill bit has a bit body having at least one leg, including a journal segment and a shirttail 14. The shirttail 14 has a leg backface 18. A rolling cone cutter 20 has a cone backface 26. The leg backface 18 is canted relative to the cone bearing axis (angle alpha). A seal 40 is positioned in the interface between the leg backface 18 and the cone backface 26. In a further embodiment the seal 40 has an operating axis that is canted with respect to the bearing axis (angle beta).
