    摘要: A method for evaluating a cutting arrangement for a drill bit includes selecting a cutting element arrangement for the drill bit and calculating a score for the cutting arrangement. This method may be used to evaluate the cutting efficiency of various drill bit designs. In one example, this method is used to calculate a score for an arrangement based on a comparison of an expected bottomhole pattern for the arrangement with a preferred bottomhole pattern. The use of this method has lead to roller cone drill bit designs that exhibit reduce tracking over prior art bits.

    摘要: Roller cone drilling wherein the bit optimization process equalizes the downforce (axial force) for the cones (as nearly as possible, subject to other design constrain). Bit performance is significantly enhanced by equalizing downforce.

    摘要: A drill bit for trenchless drilling includes a bit body defining a longitudinal axis about which the drill bit is rotated during a trenchless drilling operation. Two sets of cutting teeth are mounted at a front end of the bit body, the sets disposed on opposite sides of the axis. The first and second sets are brazed into respective slots formed in the first and second side surfaces of the bit body. The slots on each side surface communicate with a common groove, wherein the groove forms a shoulder against which rear ends of the cutting teeth abut.

    摘要: A hub (2) includes a spindle (14) which projects through a housing (4) and rotates relative to the housing (4) on a bearing (6) that is located between the spindle (14) and the housing (4). The bearing (6) has two sets of raceways (28,40) that are oblique to the axis x, and in addition rolling elements (36) arranged in two rows between the sets of raceways (28,40). The inner raceways (28) that fit around the spindle (14) and have back faces (32), with the back face (32) for one of the races (26) being against a shoulder (18) from which the spindle (14) projects. Initially, the end of the spindle (14) projects straight beyond the back face (32) of the outer racenullindeed, so that the races (26) can be installed over the spindle (14). But once the housing (4) and races (26) are in a position around the spindle (14), the projecting end portion of the spindle (14) is deformed radially and axially in a rotary forming operation such that it transforms into a formed end (20) that lies behind back face (32) of the race (26). With the two races (26) between the formed end (20) and the shoulder (18). During the rotary forming operation the hub (26) rotates, and the end of its spindle (14) is forced against a rotating forming tool and the force is monitored. The housing (4) is restrained and the torque transferred from the rotating hub (2) to the housing (4) is monitored.

    摘要: An earth-boring bit has a bit body, at least one cantilevered bearing shaft depending inwardly and downwardly from the bit body, and a cutter mounted for rotation on the bearing shaft. The cutter includes a plurality of teeth that are covered with a hardfacing layer. At least some of the teeth have a leading side that has a streamlined contour. The streamlined contour is generally conical in some of the embodiments. In others, the streamlined contour is defined by a corner between diverging inner and outer sections of the leading side.
