    摘要: A downhole tool includes a blade coupled to a body. The body and blade rotate about a longitudinal axis. A pre-formed faceplate is connected to the blade and partially defines a cutter pocket therein. Another portion of the cutter pocket is defined by the blade. The cutter pocket includes a sidewall and a base, with the sidewall formed by the blade and the pre-formed faceplate, and the base formed by the blade. The pre-formed faceplate includes a pre-formed hardfacing element. A downhole tool includes a blade coupled to a body. The body and blade rotate about a longitudinal axis. A pre-formed segment is connected to the blade and has a cutter pocket therein. The cutter pocket includes a sidewall and a base, and a cutting element is coupled to the pre-formed segment and within the cutter pocket. The pre-formed segment is optionally made of a different material than the blade and has increased wear and/or erosion resistance compared to the blade.

    摘要: A cutting bit includes a bit body and high-pressure body with a high-pressure fluid conduit therethrough. The high-pressure body and bit body are joined together. The high-pressure fluid conduit is configured to convey a fluid at greater than 14.5 ksi, and in some embodiments greater than 40 ksi. The high-pressure fluid conduit may direct the fluid through a nozzle in a fluid jet to weaken material, such as an earth formation. The cutting bit includes at least one roller cone and/or blades with cutting elements thereon to remove the weakened material. A cutting bit includes both high and low-pressure fluid conduits, and high and low-pressure fluid nozzles. The high-pressure nozzles receive fluid flow from a downhole pressure intensifier, and a connection between the bit and the downhole pressure intensifier includes rigid connectors, flexible connectors, or a combination thereof.

    摘要: A tool includes a base with a crown extending from the base. The crown is additively manufactured on the base, forming a bond between the crown and the base. At least one protrusion may extend from the base surface into a recess in the crown, such that the crown encompasses the protrusion. The protrusion may mechanically interlock the base and the crown to improve torque transfer between the crown and base. The bond at the contact between the base and crown may include impregnating at least a portion of the crown with the material of the base, or at least a portion of base with the material of the crown, which may improve a connection between the crown and base.

    摘要: An accessory is coupled to a body using a connection member inserted into a plurality of lateral recesses of a bore. The accessory includes a complementary connection mechanism to the connection member and is tightened in the bore with a torque. An example accessory is a nozzle for use with a drill bit. The nozzle includes threads and the drill bit includes a nozzle bore with lateral recesses. Partial thread segments are inserted into the lateral recesses, and the nozzle is threaded to the partial thread segments.

    摘要: A downhole tool includes a cone with an outer surface, a cone axis, and a set on the outer surface thereof. The set includes first and second cutting elements. The first and second cutting elements have respective first and second grips that are different. Another downhole tool includes a body and a cone is connected to, and rotatable relative to, the body. Cutting elements on the cone are arranged in a set to vary in radial position relative to a cone axis, with a first position nearest to, and a last position farthest from, the cone axis. A first cutting element in the first position has a different cutting element geometry type than a second cutting element in the last position. First and second cutting elements may have the same cutting element geometry type and one or more cutting elements therebetween may have different cutting element geometry types.

    摘要: An expandable tool includes a cutting block set. The cutting block set includes an upper cutting block and a lower cutting block, arranged longitudinally. The upper cutting block includes upper block splines having an upper block angle. The lower cutting block includes lower block splines having a lower block angle. The upper block angle is greater than the lower block angle, which directs the upper cutting block to extend radially further outward than the lower cutting block.

    摘要: An ultra-hard cutting element for use in a drill bit, such as a percussion drill bit, a rotary cone drill bit, a drag bit, or a reamer. The ultra-hard cutting element includes a base portion, an extension portion on an end of the base portion, and a lip on an outer surface of the extension portion. At least a portion of the outer surface of the extension portion includes an ultra-hard abrasive material. The ultra-hard abrasive material may be polycrystalline diamond or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride.
