摘要:
A composite material includes a double cemented carbide and a coarse grain dopant, wherein the coarse grain is added in an amount sufficient to improve wear resistance of virgin double cemented carbide. The double cemented carbide may selected from the group of carbides consisting of W, Ti, Mo, Nb, V, Hf, Ta, and Cr carbides. The coarse grain dopant may also be at least one carbide selected from the group consisting of W, Ti, Mo, Nb, V, Hf, Ta, and Cr carbides. The coarse grain carbide may be between about 5% to about 90% by weight of the total carbide in the composite. Preferably, the coarse grain carbide is about 10% to about 50% by weight of the total carbide in the composite.

Disclosed is a single-pass notching and drilling tool. The tool comprises an adaptor having a first threaded end for coupling with a power source, an opposed second threaded end, an enlarged diameter portion adjacent to the first threaded end and having a first abutment face and a mediate portion adjacent to the first axial abutment face and adjacent to the second threaded end. There is also a drill portion joined to the second threaded end of the adaptor and having a second axial abutment face. The tool further comprises a notching tool comprising a body having a central bore rotatably engaging the mediate portion of the adaptor. The notching tool is freely rotatable about the mediate portion independent of the rotation of the adaptor. The axial movement of the notching tool is bounded by the first and second axial abutment faces. Disclosed also is a method of drilling a blast hole with the single-pass notching and drilling tool.
