摘要:
A drill bit for drilling a borehole in earthen formations comprises a bit body including a cone region, a shoulder region, and a gage region. In addition the bit comprises a first primary blade and a second primary blade. Further, the bit comprises a plurality of primary cutter elements mounted to the first primary blade in different radial positions. Still further, the bit comprises a plurality of primary cutter elements mounted to the second primary blade in different radial positions. Moreover, a first primary cutter element of the plurality of primary cutter elements on the first primary blade and a first primary cutter element of the plurality of primary cutter elements on the second primary blade are each positioned in the cone region and are redundant. The shoulder region has a total cutter redundancy percentage that is less than a total cutter redundancy percentage in the cone region.

Earth-boring drill bits may include a bit body including blades extending radially over a face of the earth-boring drill bit and cutting elements attached to each blade. Only cutting elements including planar cutting faces may be attached to at least one of the blades. Only cutting elements including nonplanar cutting faces may be attached to at least another of the blades. Only cutting elements including planar cutting faces or only cutting elements including nonplanar cutting faces may be attached to each of the blades. Only cutting elements including nonplanar cutting faces may be attached to a number of the blades that may be unequal to a number of the blades to which only cutting elements comprising planar cutting faces may be attached.

Methods of forming and repairing earth-boring tools include providing wear-resistant material over a temporary displacement member to form a cutting element pocket in a body and a depth-of-cut control feature using the wear-resistant material. In some embodiments, the wear-resistant material may comprise a particle-matrix composite material. For example, a hardfacing material may be built up over a temporary displacement member to form or repair a cutting element pocket and provide a depth-of-cut control feature. Earth-boring tools include a depth-of-cut control feature comprising a wear-resistant material. The depth-of-cut control feature is configured to limit a depth-of-cut of a cutting element secured within a cutting element pocket partially defined by at least one surface of the depth-of-cut control feature. Intermediate structures formed during fabrication of earth-boring tools include a depth-of-cut control feature extending over a temporary displacement member.

Cutting elements, earth-boring drill bits having such cutting elements and related methods are described herein. In some embodiments, a cutting element for an earth-boring tool may include a diamond table having an indentation in a cutting face thereof and a shaped feature in a substrate at the interface between the diamond table and the substrate, the shaped feature corresponding to the indentation in the cutting face of the diamond table. In further embodiments, a cutting element for an earth-boring tool may include a sacrificial structure positioned within an indentation in a diamond table. In additional embodiments, a method of forming a cutting element may include positioning a sacrificial structure in a mold, positioning a powdered precursor material over the sacrificial structure, and pressing and sintering the powdered precursor material to form a diamond table having an indentation in a cutting face formed by the sacrificial structure.

The present invention relates generally to drill bits used in drilling subterranean boreholes. More specifically, the invention relates to drill bits and cutting elements on the drill bits and the design of each. The invention utilizes a cutting element having a convex curved top portion with a shear face wherein said shear face is a plane formed by taking a planer slice from said convex curved top portion.

Methods of forming earth-boring tools include using a plasma spray device to gouge at least one recess through a hardfacing material and into a body. At least a portion of the recess may define a cutting element pocket in which a cutting element may be received and bonded. The recess formed using the plasma spray device optionally may be further machined to form the cutting element pocket. Earth-boring tools are fabricated using such methods.

A fixed rotary drill bit, especially the type rotary drill bits incorporating a plurality of spaced polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutters or cutting elements on a plurality of radial blades, includes multiple tungsten carbide inserts (TCI) spaced between the PDC cutters or cutting elements, each TCI providing a mitigation to vibration for the drill bits, rapidly adapting the TCIs by wear from the intermediary formation ridges created from drilling resulting in the creation of a unique kerf in each TCI, thus increasing stability of the bit from lateral instability, making the drill bit more efficient, and promoting a continual steady state of drilling.

A PCD structure comprises a first region (24) and a second region (25) adjacent the first region, the second region being bonded to the first region by intergrowth of diamond grains; the first region comprising a plurality of alternating strata or layers (24c, 24t), each stratum or layer having a thickness in the range of around 5 to 300 microns. The second region (25) comprises a plurality of strata or layers, one or more strata or layers in the second region having a thickness greater than the thicknesses of the individual strata or layers in the first region (24). The alternating layers or strata in the first region comprise first layers or strata alternating with second layers or strata, the first layers or strata being in a state of residual compressive stress and the second layers or strata being in a state of residual tensile stress.

Ultra-hard constructions comprise a sintered diamond-bonded body comprising a matrix of bonded-together diamond grains and a plurality of interstitial regions substantially free of a catalyst material. A metal material comprising a carbide constituent is disposed on a substrate interface surface of the diamond body. A substrate is attached to the diamond-bonded body through a braze joint interposed between the metal material and the substrate. The braze joint is formed from a non-active braze material that reacts with the substrate and metal material. The braze joint is formed at the melting temperature of the non-active braze material in the absence of high-pressure conditions. In an example embodiment, the non-active braze material reacts with the carbide constituent in the metal material. Example materials useful for forming the non-active braze material include those selected from Cu, Ni, Mn, Au, Pd, and combinations and alloys thereof.
