Disclosed is a single-pass notching and drilling tool. The tool comprises an adaptor having a first threaded end for coupling with a power source, an opposed second threaded end, an enlarged diameter portion adjacent to the first threaded end and having a first abutment face and a mediate portion adjacent to the first axial abutment face and adjacent to the second threaded end. There is also a drill portion joined to the second threaded end of the adaptor and having a second axial abutment face. The tool further comprises a notching tool comprising a body having a central bore rotatably engaging the mediate portion of the adaptor. The notching tool is freely rotatable about the mediate portion independent of the rotation of the adaptor. The axial movement of the notching tool is bounded by the first and second axial abutment faces. Disclosed also is a method of drilling a blast hole with the single-pass notching and drilling tool.

Low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) cermet compositions of this invention generally comprise a hard phase material and a ductile phase formed from a binder alloy, wherein the binder alloy is specially designed having a CTE that is closely matched to the hard phase material. Hard phase materials used to form low CTE compositions of this invention are selected from the group of carbides consisting of W, Ti, Mo, Nb, V, Si, Hf, Ta, and Cr carbides. The binder alloy is formed from a mixture of metals selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Fe, W, Mo, Ti, Ta, V, Nb, C, B, Cr, and Mn. In a preferred embodiment, low CTE compositions comprises WC as the hard phase material, and a ductile phase binder alloy formed from a mixture of Fe, Co, and Ni. The so-formed low CTE composition has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is less than that of conventional WC—Co at the same temperature and having the same metal content, thereby providing improved resistance to thermal shock and thermal fatigue related failure.
