摘要:
Earth-boring tools include a body, one or more blades projecting outwardly from the body, and cutting elements carried by the blade. The cutting elements include at least one shearing cutting element and at least one gouging cutting element. Methods of forming an earth-boring tool include mounting a shearing cutting element comprising an at least substantially planar cutting face to a body of an earth-boring tool, and mounting a gouging cutting element comprising a non-planar cutting face to the body of the earth-boring tool. The gouging cutting element may be positioned on the body of the earth-boring tool such that the gouging cutting element will gouge formation material within a kerf cut in the formation material by the shearing cutting element, or between kerfs cut in the formation material by a plurality of shearing cutting elements.
摘要:
Earth-boring tools include combinations of shearing cutting elements and gouging cutting elements on a blade of the earth-boring tools. In some embodiments, a gouging cutting element may be disposed adjacent to a shearing cutting element on a blade of an earth-boring tool. Methods of forming earth-boring tools include providing such combination of at least one shearing cutting element and at least one gouging cutting element on a blade of an earth-boring tool.
摘要:
Earth-boring drill bits comprise a bit body having a plurality of radially extending blades and a plurality of cutting elements attached to the plurality of radially extending blades. Only gouging cutting elements are attached to at least one blade of the plurality of radially extending blades. Only shearing cutting elements are attached to at least another blade of the plurality of radially extending blades. Only shearing cutting elements are attached to a number of blades of the plurality of radially extending blades that is different from a number of blades of the plurality of radially extending blades to which only gouging cutting elements are attached. Methods of forming an earth-boring drill bit comprise forming a bit body including a plurality of radially extending blades. Only shearing cutting elements are attached to a number of blades different from a number of blades to which only gouging cutting elements are attached.

摘要:
A rotary drag bit includes a primary cutter row comprising at least one primary cutter, and at least two additional cutters configured relative to one another. In one embodiment, the cutters are backup cutters of a cutter group located in respective first and second trailing cutter rows, oriented relative to one another, and positioned to substantially follow the at least one primary cutter. The rotary drag bit life is extended by the backup cutter group, making the bit more durable and extending the life of the cutters. In other of the embodiments, the cutters are configured to selectively engage a subterranean formation material being drilled, providing improved bit life and reduced stress upon the cutters. Still other embodiments of rotary drag bits include backup cutter configurations having different backrake angles and siderake angles, including methods therefor.
