摘要: An apparatus and method for manufacturing a downhole tool that reduces failures occurring along a bondline between a cemented matrix coupled around a blank. The cemented matrix material is formed from a tungsten carbide powder, a shoulder powder, and a binder material, wherein at least one of the tungsten carbide powder or the shoulder powder is absent of any free tungsten. The blank, which optionally may be coated, is substantially cylindrically shaped and defines a channel extending from a top portion and through a bottom portion of the blank. The absence of free tungsten from at least one of the tungsten carbide powder or the shoulder powder reduces the reaction with iron from the blank, thereby allowing the control and reduction of intermetallic compounds thickness within the bondline.

摘要: A bit for drilling a wellbore includes: a body; and a cutting face. The cutting face includes: an inner section and an outer section; a plurality of blades protruding from the body, and a row of superhard cutters mounted along each blade, the cutters in the inner section having a negative profile angle and the cutters in the outer section having a positive profile angle. At least one of: at least one inner cutter is oriented at a negative side rake angle to create a weight on bit (WOB) reducing effect, and at least one outer cutter is oriented at a positive side rake angle to create the WOB reducing effect. Each of the rest of the cutters are oriented at a side rake angle such that an overall effect of the side rake angles is the WOB reducing effect.

摘要: A method for manufacturing a matrix drill bit includes: placing a metallic blank within a casting assembly including a mold having an inner surface formed into a negative shape of facial features of the drill bit; loading powder into an annulus formed between the blank and the mold, the powder including at least one of: ceramic powder and cermet powder; placing a binder alloy into the casting assembly over the blank and the mold; protecting the binder alloy from oxidation; inserting the casting assembly, blank, powder, and binder alloy into a furnace; operating the furnace to heat the protected binder alloy to an infiltration temperature between solidus and liquidus temperatures thereof, thereby infiltrating the powder with the binder alloy and forming a bit body; removing the bit body from the furnace; and after removal, attaching cutters to blades of the bit body.
