Abstract:
A cutting insert for turning includes a polygonal body of a hard, wear-resistant material, which has an upper surface and a lower surface, and a plurality of edge surfaces uniting the surfaces. At least one rounded cutting corner, provided with a nose-cutting edge, is formed at a nose portion at the area of the intersection area of two edge surfaces. The cutting corner defines a bisector. At least one recess is arranged in a support surface of the upper surface at a distance from the nose-cutting edge. The recess has a general extension toward the nose portion. Each recess is elongate and has successively increasing depth toward the nose portion.
Abstract:
A cermet comprises a binding phase made of a binding metal including Co and/or Ni. The binding phase is 5 to 30 mass %. The cermet further comprises a plurality of hard particles bound each other with the binding phase. The hard particles comprise core-containing structure particles having cores and shells both including TiCN. The core-containing structure particles comprise first core-containing structure particles of which shells contain the binding metal and second core-containing structure particles of which cores and shells both contain the binding metal.
Abstract:
A coated ceramic cutting insert for removing material from a workpiece, as well as a method for making the same, that includes a ceramic substrate with a rake surface and at least one flank surface wherein a cutting edge is at the juncture therebetween. A wear-resistant coating scheme that includes an alumina-containing base coating layer region, which has at least one exposed alumina coating layer, deposited by chemical vapor deposition on the substantially all of the surfaces of the ceramic substrate that experience wear during removal of material from the workpiece. The exposed alumina coating layer exhibits a blasted stress condition ranging between about 50 MPa (tensile stress) and about −2 GPa (compressive) as measured by XRD using the Psi tilt method and the (024) reflection of alumina. The exposed alumina coating layer is the result of wet blasting a titanium-containing outer coating layer region from the surface of the alumina-containing base coating layer region.
Abstract:
A cutting insert wherein, in particular an indexable cutting insert for machining predominantly metal materials, comprising a first surface that acts as a contact surface for a chuck tool and a depression in the first surface in the cutting corner region and along the cutting edges, said depression acting as a swarf surface. To reinforce and stabilize the cutting edge, the first swarf surface border or the second swarf surface border has or have one or more interruptions in the form of ribs surface, said ribs lying on the same plane as the second surface.
Abstract:
A drill bit is disclosed that in one aspect includes a cutting device on a selected section of the drill bit, which cutting device is configured to cut formation on the high side of a wellbore during drilling of the wellbore. In one aspect, the cutting device comprises a cutting element disposed on a substantially non-rotating member placed around the selected section. In another aspect, the selected section may be a gage section of the drill bit.
Abstract:
A coolant fluid supplying tool post is mounted to a machining system for machine controlled movement and has an internal coolant passage system, a coolant fluid inlet, a coolant fluid outlet and a first dove-tail mount. A multiple machine tool support block has a second dove-tail mount is in supported engagement with the first dove-tail mount. A plurality of machine tool receptacles are defined in the multiple machine tool support block and each is adapted for support of a machine tool therein. Tool retainer members are carried by the multiple machine tool support block for each of the machine tool receptacles and has retaining engagement with a machine tool located within a machine tool receptacle. Coolant passages within the multiple machine tool support block have a coolant supply inlet in fluid communication with the coolant fluid outlet of the coolant fluid supplying tool post.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cutting tool (1) for machining mainly metallic materials, comprising a clamping holder (2) and support (3) for the cutting element. Said support (3), on which a cutting element (6) rests, is arranged on the clamping holder (2). The cutting element (6) is pressed, by means of a clamping claw (5), onto the support (3) for the cutting element and against an abutting surface (7) located outside the support (3) for the cutting element. In order to increase the service life of the clamping holder, the abutting surface (7) is part of an abutment (4) for the cutting element. Said abutment (4) is designed as a separate component and is replaceably mounted on the clamping holder (2).

A two-cone drill bit having a bit body formed from two leg sections and two spacing members. Methods of manufacturing a two-cone drill bit. Methods of improving hydraulics of a two-cone drill bit.
Abstract:
Drill rods and systems for use in drilling processes, as well as methods for making and using such drill rods and systems. A drill rod configured for sonic drilling operations can include a cylindrical body having an interior surface and an exterior surface. A first connector may be located on a first end of the cylindrical body and a second connector may be located on a second end of the cylindrical body. The first connector and the second connector can be complementary. The drill rod can include a helical feature and a corresponding helical channel on the exterior surface of the cylindrical body. The helical feature and corresponding helical channel can be configured for moving material displaced during a drilling operation in an axial direction away from one end of the drill rod to the other.
Abstract:
A turbine matrix sleeve in accordance with the invention includes an inner cylindrical structure made up of a first material. The inner cylindrical structure may include multiple blades and multiple channels running between the blades along an outside diameter thereof. The inner cylindrical structure further includes threads, such as right-hand or left-hand threads, on an outer surface thereof. An outer layer, made up of a second material different from the first material, is integrally bonded to the threads. This outer layer may be optionally embedded with hardened inserts or buttons, such as PDC inserts, diamond inserts, TSP inserts, or the like. The threaded surface on the inner cylindrical structure significantly improves the bond between the outer layer and the inner cylindrical structure and creates a mechanical lock therebetween.
