A cutter element for use in a drill bit, comprising a substrate and a cutting layer. The substrate comprises a grip portion and an extension portion, where the grip portion has an insert axis and an extension portion including an interface surface having a first apex. The cutting layer is affixed to the interface surface and has a cutting surface having a second apex. The cutting layer is shaped such that when a plane passing through the first apex and lying parallel to the insert axis and normal to a radius from the insert axis, the plane divides the cutting layer into major and minor portions and the major portion has a major volume that is at least 60 percent of the total volume of said cutting layer. Alternative embodiments of the present invention include variations wherein the first and second apices do not coincide and wherein the interface surface of the substrate is not axisymmetric. Using these variations, cutter elements having sizeable variations in thickness are constructed.

摘要:
Enhanced inserts are formed having a cylindrical grip and a protrusion extending from the grip. An ultra hard material layer is bonded on top of the protrusion. The inserts are mounted on a rock bit and contact the earth formations off center. The ultra hard material layer is thickest at a critical zone which encompasses a major portion of the region of contact between the insert and the earth formation. Transition layers may also be formed between the ultra hard material layer and the protrusion so as to reduce the residual stresses formed on the interface between the ultra hard material and the protrusion.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing cutting tools having diamond-like cutting edges or surfaces which are formed by bonding high shear compaction diamond or cubic boron nitride (CBN) ropes or strips in helical grooves formed on the cutting tool outer surface. The strips are formed by slitting a sheet of high shear compaction diamond or CBN material. The ropes are formed by rolling the strips between grooved rollers.
摘要:
A drill bit has means at one end for connecting the bit to a drill string and a plurality of inserts at the other end for crushing the rock to be drilled. The inserts have a cemented tungsten carbide body partially embedded in the drill bit and at least two layers at the protruding drilling portion of the insert. The outermost layer contains polycrystalline diamond and particles of carbide or carbonitride of elements selected from the group consisting of W, Ti, Ta, Cr, Mo, Cb, V, Hf and Zr. The remaining layers adjacent the polycrystalline diamond layer are transition layers each comprising a composite containing diamond crystals, particles of tungsten carbide, and particles of titanium carbonitride. The average size of the diamond particles in the polycrystalline diamond layer is greater than the average size of the carbide or carbonitride particles; and the average size of the diamond particles in the transition layers is greater than the average sizes of the carbide and carbonitride particles. In particular, the transition layers contain particles of carbide and/or carbonitride with average grain sizes of less than one micrometer. The outermost layer of polycrystalline diamond extends along at least a portion of the length of the grip portion of the carbide body embedded in the drill bit.
