    Abstract: Disclosed herein are bearings and methods of treatment especially suitable for friction or plain bearings in earth boring drill bits. The surface of such a bearing is carburized and heat treated to produce extremely high surface carbon such that free carbides occur at the surface. The steel bearings disclosed have a surface carbon content after treatment higher than 0.9% (by weight) to achieve the free carbides. The method for producing the desired high surface carbon in the bearing involves the initial step of heating the bearing in a gas carburizing furnace containing an atmosphere with a high carbon potential. Then the bearing is quenched directly from a high carbon potential atmosphere. Alternatively the bearing may be carburized by the ''''pack'''' carburizing method and subsequently using a copper plating or equivalent during hardening to prevent loss of the high surface carbon. In either instance the high carbon surface performs better if treated with a sacrificial, solid lubricant of soft metal or a metallic compound that breaks in the surface during initial operation.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of selectively boronizing of the surface of ferrous metal that is characterized by applying to such area as is not to be boronized a coating consisting essentially of finely divided titanium dioxide, finely divided carbonaceous material and an anhydrous binding agent in effective amounts to form a boronizing resist having boronizing resistance during boronizing, then boronizing the ferrous metals at a temperature at which the coating forms the boronizing resist and subsequently removing the boronizing resist. Also disclosed are compositions for preferred applications of the coating and additional details on preferred embodiments.

    Abstract: An earth boring bit having an improved two piece bearing construction using an internally tapered and threaded, cantilevered bearing lug extending obliquely inwardly and downwardly from a leg carried by the body of the bit. An internally tapered and threaded bearing sleeve is made up on the lug, and includes a mouth that engages a shoulder on a base region of the bearing lug. The mouth of the sleeve has a minimum radial thickness such that the sleeve may be made up to a selected minimum torque. The bearing sleeve has a length greater than that of the treaded portion to define a thick walled inner end region to receive a resilient retainer ring in a groove that provides a minimum section over the threads on the the interior of the sleeve. The sleeve is boronized to achieve wear resistance in a manner that does not substantially reduce strength.

    Abstract: An improved method for hardfacing tool joints for earth boring drill pipe. Annular bands of hardfacing are applied by an apparatus that creates an arc between a consumable steel wire and the tool joint. The steel wire is reciprocated across the width of the band as the tool joint is rotated. Granules of tungsten carbide flow by gravity from a hopper into the weld puddle. The flow of granules into the puddle is stopped just prior to reaching the tie-in point. The arc continues a short distance, creating an overlapping protuberance at the tie in that is free of granules at the surface. This protuberance can be easily ground smooth with the remainder of the hardfacing.
