摘要:
An inclined chisel crested insert (22) is disclosed for use on the gage row of a cone (18) for a rotary cone rock bit (10). The insert has different conical surfaces (42, 45) on opposite sides of the crown (44) of the insert. An elongate conically shaped gage cutting surface (42) of the insert provides point or line contact with a borehole wall (37) as opposed to a full surface contact with the wall as is common with state of the art flat sided gage row inserts. This inclined chisel insert also has advantages over the symmetrical chisel type gage insert in that it is designed to provide increased crest length while providing the desired gage surface angle. The conically shaped gage row inserts with offset chisel crest are less prone to frictional heating due to the point or line contact design. As a result the elongate conical gage cutting surface of the chisel crest insert minimises gage insert wear and subsequent breakage by eliminating high cycle thermal fatigue.

A rotary drag bit (11) has cutters (19) rotatably mounted to fixtures (21) with journals. The cutters (19) are constantly forced to rotate or precess by the interaction between the earth formation and the cutter (19). The cutters (19) are fixed in skewed or offset positions on a cutting face (17) of a rotary drill bit head (11). These cutters (19) act as drag or shear cutters when they are operated in an earth formation.

A roller bit cutter comprises: a) a tough, metallic generally conical and fracture resistant core having a hollow interior, the core defining an axis, b) an annular metallic radial bearing layer carried by said core at the interior thereof to support the core for rotation, said bearing layer extending about said axis, c) an impact and wear resistant metallic inner layer on the core at the interior thereof, to provide an axial thrust bearing, and d) hard metallic inserts having anchor portions carried by the core and partly embedded therein, the inserts protruding outwardly at the exterior of the core to define cutters, at least some of the inserts spaced about said axis, e) and a wear resistant outer metallic layer on the exterior of said core.

A method of consolidating metallic body means comprises a) applying to the body means a mixture of: i) metallic powder ii) fugitive organic binder iii) volatile solvent b) drying the mixture, and c) burning out the binder and solvent at elevated temperature, d) and applying pressure to the powdered metal to consolidate same on said body means.
a) a tough, metallic, generally conical and fracture resistant core having a hollow interior, the core defining an axis, b) an annular, metallic, radial bearing layer carried by said core at the interior thereof to support the core for rotation, said bearing layer extending about said axis, c) a wear resistant outer metallic layer on the exterior of the core, d) metallic teeth integral with the core and protruding outwardly therefrom, at least some of said teeth spaced about said axis, e) and an impact and wear resistant layer on each tooth to provide hard cutting edges as the bit cutter is rotated about said axis.
摘要:
A rock bit cutter cone (10) for a drill bit (12) is disclosed wherein hard carbide cutter inserts (26) are metallurgically bonded into an interior core (28) of the cone through a cladding (34). The cladding (34) is bonded on to the exterior surface of the core (28) by a powder metallurgy process. The cladding (34) retains the inserts (26) in the core (28). A thin layer or coating (44) of a suitable metal, preferably nickel, is provided on the carbide insert (26) prior to mounting into the core (28). The coating (44) prevents degradation of the carbide through loss of carbon into the core (28) during the powder metallurgy process and accommodates mismatch of thermal expansion between the cutter insert (26) and the core (28). The interior of the cone is formed to provide bearing surfaces (34, 40) either by conventional techniques, or by powder metallurgy processes. Bearing surfaces formed in the interior of the core by powder metallurgy processes may be hard so as to permit an open bearing structure for the drill bit.

L'invention concerne un outil de forage et plus particulièrement un bouton en matériau dur, pour outil de perforation, constitué d'une tête (6) prolongée par un corps (7) destiné à être serti à l'extrémité de l'outil, dans une alvéole (4) de dimensions légèrement inférieures à celles du corps (7). Selon l'invention, la surface extérieure du corps (7) comporte des parties saillantes (8) destinées à pénétrer dans la paroi intérieure de l'alvéole (4) lors du sertissage du bouton dans l'alvéole (4). Application aux taillants pour marteaux pneumatiques, perforateurs ou tricônes.
摘要:
This invention discloses a rolling cone drilling bit (10) having a plurality of cutters (16) which have inserted therein hard metal cutting elements (22) preferably formed of tungsten carbide alloy; and in which bit the rolling cone cutters (16) are located in such a manner that their rotational axes (32) are greatly offset from the rotational axis (34) of the drill bit. In addition, a fluid jetting system is provided in the invention that directs a pressurized fluid spray (46) across the main cutting inserts and against the formation face so that when the drill bit (10) is used in its most advantageous areas, such as the soft, medium-soft and plastic formations, the jetting system prevents "balling up» of the cutters (16) and greatly increases the drilling efficiency of the bit.
