    摘要: An earth boring drill bit including replaceable gage pads. The gage pads and the corresponding surface of the earth boring drill bit may include complementary securing elements which mutually engage one another. The gage pad may be removably affixed to the earth boring drill bit by an affixation element, such as a bolt, a mechanical locking element, brazing, welding, mechanical affixation, or another known technique. The invention also includes a method of testing differently configured gage pads employing a single earth boring drill bit, a method of replacing the gage pads of an earth boring drill bit at the drilling site, a method of customizing an earth boring drill bit to include one or more gage pads of desired configuration, and a method of altering the balance or net imbalance of an earth boring drill bit by replacing at least one gage pad thereof.

    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. At least one of the cutting elements has a generally cylindrical body formed of hard metal with a convex cutting end. A plurality of substantially recesses are formed on the cutting end of the body. The recesses are configured such that a line parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body may extend from any point of each of the recess without touching any other point on the same recess. This enables the cutting element body and the recess to be formed simultaneously by conventional powder metallurgical techniques. A layer of super-hard material is formed on the cutting end of the body and overlays the recesses formed thereon.

    摘要: A rotary drag bit equipped with a plurality of cutters, each including a superabrasive cutting face, wherein cutters carried by the bit have at least two differing chamfer geometries adjacent their cutting edges. Chamfer geometries are selected according to location on the face of the bit responsive to the relative ease or difficulty of cutting formation rock and the severity of dynamic loading at that location. The bit face may be characterized as comprising at least two areas or regions bearing cutters having differing chamfer geometries to maximize rate of penetration of the bit while preserving cutter integrity when subjected to differing stresses and encountering zones of the formation exhibiting different strengths. Characteristics, such as hardness, abrasiveness and homogeneity, of the target formation or formations to be drilled by the bit may be considered when selecting appropriate chamfer geometries for the cutters allocated to cut each formation zone opposite the bit face.

    摘要: An earth-boring bit has a bit body and at least one cutter rotatably secured to the bit body. The cutter has a cutter shell surface including a gage surface intersecting a heel surface. A plurality of hard metal inserts are arranged in generally circumferential rows on the cutter and include a heel row of heel inserts on the heel surface of the cutter and a gage row of gage inserts on the gage surface of the cutter. At least one scraper insert, formed of material more wear-resistant than that of the cutter shell surface, is secured to the cutter shell surface generally at the intersection of the gage and heel surfaces. The scraper insert includes a gage and a heel insert surface. The gage and heel surfaces of the scraper insert converge to define a cutting edge for engagement with the sidewall of the borehole, the insert surface defining a positive rake angle with respect to the sidewall of the borehole of between 0 and 15 degrees. The cutting edge projecting from the heel surface an amount not greater than the lesser of one-half the projection of the heel inserts from the heel surface and 30% of the pitch between the heel inserts.
