摘要:
An earth-boring bit has a bit body and at least one cantilevered bearing shaft depending inwardly and downwardly from the bit body. A cutter is mounted for rotation on the bearing shaft and includes a plurality of cutting elements arranged in generally circumferential rows including an outer or heel row of cutting elements. At least one of the cutting elements in the heel row has an outermost surface at least partially formed of super-hard material that defines a cutting edge for shearing engagement with the sidewall of the borehole as the cutters roll and slide over the bottom of the borehole during drilling operations.

An improved earth-boring bit of the rolling cone variety (65) and an insert (65, 83, 85) for use therein is provided. A superabrasive element is coated with at least one layer of metallic material (219, 221, 223). The superabrasive element then is placed in a receptacle cavity (215) in a pre-formed hard metal jacket (213). The superabrasive element then is brazed or infiltrated to the hard metal jacket. Metallurgical and mechanical bonds between the superabrasive element, the at least one layer of metallic material on superabrasive element, the braze or infiltrant binder material, and the fracture-tough material of the hard metal jacket retain the superabrasive element in the cavity of the hard metal jacket. Improved earth-boring bits according to this embodiment of the present invention provide abrasion-resistant earth-boring bits of the rolling cutter variety. Such improved bits, and the inserts therefor, are formed without resort to high-temperature, high-pressure processes.

A chain saw link or tooth is disclosed. The link or tooth (100) can be connected pivotally to other similar chain saw links to form the chain of a chain saw. The chain saw link has a link body (101) and one or more cutting inserts (106) fastened releasably to the link body. Each cutting insert is provided by a segment of a composite PCD or PCBN compact (10) and has a PCD (polycrystalline diamond) or PCBN (polycrystalline cubic boron nitride) compact carried by a carbide backing. When installed, the PCD or PCBN compact of the insert is exposed in a position to perform a cutting action in use.
摘要:
A cutter for a rotating drag bit which has a cutting face formed from a plurality of polycrystalline diamond compact (PCD) elements (16,18). The elements can be of varying thickness and/or varying hardness to provide a cutting edge having a nonuniform wear pattern. Also provided is a cutter which includes two layers of PCD (56,54) elements. The PCD elements can be of varying thickness and/or hardness to provide a cutter which presents a cutting edge having a wear ratio which varies with cutter wear. Also provided is an impact cutter (116) having a cutting surface (122) formed from one or more layers of PCD elements.
摘要:
The present invention relates to buttons, inserts and bodies for rock drilling, rock cutting, metal cutting and wear part applications. The buttons, inserts and bodies comprise cemented carbide provided with bodies and/or layers of CVD- or PVD-fabricated diamond and then HP/HT treated in the diamond stable area. All the bodies of cemented carbide should have a uniform structure or a multi-structure containing eta-phase surrounded by a surface zone of cemented carbide free of eta-phase.
