摘要： A hardmetal composite used as wear-resistant surfaces and inlays in earth-engaging equipment includes more than one hardphase. At least one hardphase has a high average particle size, for example, from 100 μm to 2000 μm. The hardphases vary in terms of particle size, hardness, and binder content, and at least one hardphase includes a particulate constituent capable of plastic deformation that comprises at least 1% residual porosity.

摘要： The present invention is a new method for forming a high density hard facing rod. The rod is particularly suitable for hardfacing downhole tools including both fixed cutter and rolling cutter drill bits, bias pads for downhole rotary steerable systems, and stabilizers, and for other types of tools requiring strong and wear resistant hardfacings. The method includes the steps of: preparing a powder mix comprising carbide and metal powders, a fugitive binder, and other additives to render a moldable rheology; forming the powder mix into a powder core encased with a metal sheath to form a core-sheath assembly; and isostatically compacting the core-sheath assembly to densify the core to at least 65% of theoretical density and mechanically attach the sheath. The core fugitive binder along with residual volatile constituents may be thermally removed with or without vacuum, reducing, or inert environment prior to weld application of the composite rod.

摘要： Methods of forming a new wear and abrasion overlay formed with the steel surfaces of components for earth boring bits, and the components formed by the methods are disclosed. The overlay comprises a hard material particulate containing a metal carbide and an alloy steel matrix. The volume fraction of the hard material particulate in the overlay is greater than about 75%, the average particle size of the hard material particulate is between about 40 mesh and about 80 mesh, and the thickness of the overlay is less than about 0.050 inches. The process of manufacture includes the steps of fixing a monolayer of hard material particulate to the surface of a flexible mold, filling the mold with materials and powders, and CIP densifying to form a preform. The preform is then forged to near 100% density in a rapid solid state densification powder metallurgy process. The resulting bit component has an integrally formed overlay with superior physical properties.

摘要： A steel tooth rolling cutter earth boring drill bit comprises a bit body with a threaded upper end for attachment to the end of a drill string, and a lower end comprising three legs extending downwardly from the bit body and with a rolling cutter rotatably mounted on each leg. A layer of wear resistant material is applied to a portion of each rolling cutter and comprises were resistant particles in a substantially steel matrix. The steel matrix is integrally formed with the cutter in a rapid, solid state densification powder metallurgy (RSSDPM) process, and comprises a duplex microstructure comprising from about 10 to about 40 volume percent austenite and from about 60 to 90 volume precent martensite. The duplex microstructure may be achieved by incorporating a minor fraction of pure nickel and/or manganese powder in the powder mix used in the process, thereby providing nickel or manganese enrichment of the austenitic zones of the matrix.

摘要： A roller cutter for a rotary drill bit comprising a conical roller cutter body of metal, and a plurality of cutting elements secured to the outer surface of the roller cutter body primarily by welding and being substantially free of mechanical interconnection to the roller cutter body. Each cutting element is an elongate member having a base portion at one end thereof engageable with the roller cutter body and a tip portion at the other end thereof engageable with the formation to be drilled for drilling the formation. The element is formed of a material at its tip portion which has relatively high compressive strength and good wear resistance properties, but which also has a coefficient of thermal expansion and elastic moduli significantly different from those of the metal of the cutter body thereby rendering it incapable of being satisfactorily welded thereto, and being formed of a material at its base portion which has a coefficient of expansion and elastic moduli similar to those of the metal of the cutter body thereby enabling it to be welded thereto. The cutting elements are formed of a composite material having first and second phases, with the volume fractions of these phases varying in a generally continuous composition gradient along the length thereof. In addition, a drag type drill bit, and a method of manufacturing the roller cutter and the drag bit are disclosed.

摘要： 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.
