摘要:
Roller cone bits include a steel bit body having a leg extending therefrom. A steel cone is disposed on the leg and includes steel cutting elements projecting outwardly therefrom. One of the cutting elements comprises a steel base integral with the cone and that projects therefrom. A cutting element end is attached to the base portion and extends to form a cutting element tip. The base and end portions are attached when the cone base are in a preexisting rigid state. The end portion comprises a wear resistant material having a material microstructure comprising a first phase of grains selected from the group of carbides, borides, nitrides, and carbonitrides of W, Ti, Mo, Nb, V, Hf, Ta, and Cr refractory metals; and a second phase of a binder material selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Fe, and alloys thereof.

Roller cone bits of this invention include a steel bit body having at least one leg extending therefrom. A steel cone is rotatably disposed on the leg. The steel cone includes a plurality of steel cutting elements that each project outwardly a distance therefrom. At least one of the cutting elements comprises a steel base portion that is integral with the cone and that projects a distance therefrom. A cutting element end portion is attached to the base portion and extends therefrom to form a tip of the cutting element. The base and end portions are permanently attached together when the cone and base are in a preexisting rigid state. The cutting element end portion is formed from a wear resistant material having a material microstructure comprising a first phase of grains selected from the group of carbides, borides, nitrides, and carbonitrides of W, Ti, Mo, Nb, V, Hf, Ta, and Cr refractory metals; and a second phase of a binder material selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Fe, and alloys thereof.

摘要:
A two-cone drill bit that exhibits improved stability. In one embodiment, the two-cone drill bit has a first and a second roller cone arranged to have a cone separation angle between about 145 degrees and about 166 degrees. In some embodiments, the two-cone drill bit has a plurality of cutting elements arranged on the roller cones such that a bottom hole coverage greater than about 17 percent is achieved per revolution of the two-cone drill bit.
摘要:
A drill bit for drilling through earthen formations and forming a borehole. In an embodiment, the bit comprises a bit body having a bit axis. In addition, the bit comprises a plurality of cone cutters, each of the cone cutters being mounted on the bit body and adapted for rotation about a different cone axis. Further, at least one cone cutter on the bit comprises an array of cutter elements mounted in a band. Still further, the cutter elements in the array are mounted in a plurality of differing radial positions relative to the bit axis.
摘要:
A two-cone drill bit with a hydraulic arrangement that can be used for one or more of the following: cleaning roller cones, impinging on a hole bottom, or inducing a helical flow field. 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; and methods of improving hydraulics of a two-cone drill bit are disclosed.
