摘要:
An improved cutter for fixed cutter drill bits includes a base portion with a longitudinal axis that extends through a center of the base portion and a cutting face which is generally centered with the base portion. The cutting face has a periphery edge geometry comprising a first arcuate segment and a second arcuate segment spaced apart and arranged opposite each other with linear edge segments disposed there between forming sides of the cutting face. The cutting face spans a maximum edge-to-edge dimension L in a first direction that corresponds to a major axis of the cutting face. The cutting face spans a maximum edge-to-edge dimension W in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction, and W is less than L.

摘要:
The present disclosure relates to cutting elements incorporating polycrystalline diamond bodies used for subterranean drilling applications, and more particularly, to polycrystalline diamond bodies having a high diamond content which are configured to provide improved properties of thermal stability and wear resistance, while maintaining a desired degree of impact resistance, when compared to prior polycrystalline diamond bodies. In various embodiments disclosed herein, a cutting element with high diamond content includes a modified PCD structure and/or a modified interface (between the PCD body and a substrate), to provide superior performance.
摘要:
A bottom hole assembly containing a drill bit. The drill bit additionally has a plurality of primary cutter elements mounted thereto. The plurality of cutter elements comprise one or more first cutter elements and one or more second cutter elements. The second cutter element differs from the first cutter element in at least one cutter element property. The first cutter element has a diamond body containing a first region comprising an infiltrant material disposed within the interstitial regions. The first region is located remote from the working surface of the diamond body. The first cutter element also contains a second region comprising interstitial regions that are substantially free of the infiltrant material. The second region is located along at least the working surface of the diamond body. Also included are a cutter element, method of designing a bottom hole assembly as well as method of designing a drill bit.

摘要:
Thermally stable polycrystalline constructions comprise a diamond body joined with a substrate, and may have a nonplanar interface. The construction may include an interlayer interposed between the diamond body and substrate. The diamond body preferably has a thickness greater than about 1.5 mm, and comprises a matrix phase of bonded together diamond crystals and interstitial regions disposed therebetween that are substantially free of a catalyst material used to sinter the diamond body. A replacement material is disposed within the interstitial regions. A population of the interstitial regions may include non-solvent catalyst material and/or an infiltrant aid disposed therein. The diamond body comprises two regions; namely, a first region comprising diamond grains that may be sized smaller than diamond grains in a second region, and/or the first region may comprise a diamond volume that is greater than that in the second region.

摘要:
Polycrystalline diamond composites comprise a polycrystalline diamond body having a plurality of ultra-hard discrete regions dispersed within a polycrystalline diamond second region. The plurality of discrete regions has an density different from of the polycrystalline diamond second region. A metallic substrate can be joined to the body. The discrete regions can be relatively more thermal stable than, have a higher diamond density than, and/or may comprise a binder material that is different from the polycrystalline diamond second region. Polycrystalline diamond composites can be formed by combining already sintered granules with diamond grains to form a mixture, and subjecting the mixture to high pressure/high temperature conditions, wherein the granules form the plurality of discrete regions, or can be made by forming a plurality of unsintered granules, combining them with diamond grains to form a mixture, and then subjecting the mixture to first and second high pressure/high temperature conditions.
摘要:
A cutter for a fixed cutter drill bit including a substrate and an ultrahard material layer disposed on an end surface of the substrate, the ultra hard material layer having an upper surface opposite the substrate end surface and a peripheral surface such that the upper surface intersects the peripheral surface along a peripheral edge. The peripheral edge continuously increases and decreases in height as measured from a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cutter.
摘要:
A drill bit includes a bit body, a plurality of blades extending radially from the bit body, a plurality of cutter pockets disposed on the plurality of blades, at least one rolling cutter disposed in one of the cutter pockets, wherein each rolling cutter has a substrate, a cutting face, a cutting edge, and a side surface, and at least one blocker positioned adjacent to each of the at least one rolling cutters on a leading face of the blade, wherein each blocker has a retention end and an attachment end. The retention end of each blocker is positioned adjacent to a portion of the cutting face of each rolling cutter to retain the rolling cutter in the cutter pocket and the attachment end is attached to a portion of the blade.
