Detailed description of the invention
Figure 1A illustrates the cutter elements of the form with compound segmentation 300, and for cutting the circular saw blade of stone, segmentation 300 is by obtaining according to method of the present disclosure.Segmentation 300 comprises three layers: pair of outer layer 310, described pair of outer layer 310 is adhered to the opposite side of the internal layer 320 between pair of outer layer 310.Outer 310 can accommodate higher diamond dust content than internal layer 320.In use, segmentation 300 will be driven along cut direction C by blade, and described segmentation will be attached to described blade.
Be used for the method for the exemplary cut device element of making the type shown in Figure 1A now with reference to Figure 1B explanation.Diamond abrasive grain and metallic matrix powder will be provided, and described metallic matrix powder comprises and is suitable for being sintered and being adhered to diamond abrasive grain to form the metal or alloy of cutter elements.Diamond abrasive grain is suitable for being carried out cutting operation and can being had the size in 120/18 U.S.'s size of mesh band by cutter elements by being chosen as, for example, and for cutting stone or rock.By for the preparation of making the first lotion of internal layer and for making outer field the second lotion.Substantially different in a certain respect by its composition of the first lotion and the second lotion, for example, diamond content, diamond distribution of sizes or adhesive material.Two kinds of lotions can be by diamond dust is mixed to prepare with metal dust, and the mass ratio of diamond dust and metal dust is chosen according to the diamond content of the expectation in every kind of lotion.Such as methylcellulose and or the organic bond material of polyethylene glycol (PEG) can be introduced in the mixture of diamond dust and metal dust, and can then in mixing, in mixture, introduce lentamente water to form lotion.Lotion can be by kneading, by packed and or be stored time enough section for making methylcellulose reach its viscosity substantially completely.Can introduce in extrusion die cavity individually and in turn and be extruded to form corresponding bar for every kind in lotion, described be basic rectangle in this example.The bar 520 being formed by the first lotion can by " folder " between the external bar 510 being formed by the second lotion to form the compound bar 500 of three layers.Can be with thering is the extrusion equipment that subtracts undersized extruding outlet for making bar 500 dense, can then be introduced in extrusion chamber for described 500 and be extruded to provide and there is the width that substantially reduces and the middle compound bar of three layers of height.Central strip can be cut to provide some green compact 400 to come for sintering.Each green compact 400 can be placed in graphite jig and under high temperature and high pressure processed with sintering metal powder with corresponding cutter segmentation 300 is provided.
The flexible program of described method will be apparent, and can comprise: for example, be not extruding lotion, but roll lotion to form bar.Have in the example of shape of non-rhombus at body to be sintered, for example, for the fringing of diamond rope saw or for the cylindrical shape plug-in unit of the drill bit of surface drilling, lotion can be squeezed into other shape, for example, cylindrical rod or concentric tube.
In some exemplary arrangement, superhard particles can be encapsulated in bead.With reference to Fig. 2, exemplary bead 600 has: superhard core 610, and described superhard core 610 comprises diamond dust; Inside seal district 620, seal district 620 in described to encapsulate superhard core 610 completely; With outer encapsulating district 630, described outer encapsulating district 630 seals district 620 in encapsulating completely.Inside seal district 620 harder and there is larger wearability than outer encapsulating district 630 than outer encapsulating district 630.In one example, diamond dust 610 can have the diameter dimension at least about 100 microns, and bead 600 can be roughly spherical and have at least about 200 microns and the diameter of approximately 5,000 microns at the most.Inside seal district 620 and can there is the average thickness at least about 100 microns, and outer encapsulating district 630 can have the thickness at least about 25 microns.Inside sealing district 620 can comprise: superhard material or ceramic material, for example, tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, carborundum, niobium carbide, molybdenum carbide, hafnium carbide or ramet; Or hardening oxidation material, for example, aluminium oxide or zirconia; Or hard nitride material, for example, silicon nitride or cubic boron nitride; Or hard carbon nitride material, for example, titanium carbonitride.In some examples, outer encapsulating district 630 can not be included the superhard or ceramic material of sealing in district 620 substantially, or the density of the superhard or ceramic material that holds of outer encapsulating district 630 can be lower than the density at the interior superhard or ceramic material holding in sealing district 620.In EP0012631, EP1894983, EP2059617, EP2176372, EP2240549, GB1014295, US4770907, US5143523 and US5405573, the illustrative methods of bead is made in explanation.
Exemplary drill bit can be for piercing ground in oil and natural gas probing, and can comprise multiple rib structures and multiple cutter elements of obtaining according to method of the present disclosure.Cutter elements can embed in the bag-shaped portion being formed in rib structure, and a part for each cutter elements is exposed for cutting rock.Each cutter elements can comprise: embed the diamond dust in the hard alloy substrate that contains WC particle; With the adhesive material that contains Co.In some examples, diamond dust can have the distribution of sizes falling in 18/35 U.S.'s size of mesh band, and the content of diamond dust can be from approximately 20 extremely approximately 30 percent by volume of percent by volume.The content of the WC particle in matrix material can have approximately 80 percentage by weight, and the content of the adhesive material in matrix material can have approximately 20 percentage by weight.In use, drill bit can rotate and be driven in the rock stratum in land, and cutter elements will engage rock stratum and cut rock stratum.Along with cutting is advanced, matrix material will obtain than Diamond Wear faster, cause diamond dust outstanding from the expose portion of each cutter elements, improve like this cutting efficiency.Along with cutting is advanced further, some in outstanding diamond dust can be pulled out and be lost, and other diamond dust will become the diamond dust of new exposure.Conventionally, the working life of instrument and can have complicated balance between cutting speed on the other hand on the one hand, it can be subject to the impact of various factors, for example, the diamond dust in each cutter elements distributes uniformity, the wearability of matrix material and the bonding strength between diamond dust and matrix.In these factors at least some can be subject to the impact for the manufacture of the method for cutter elements, but the details of this link unclear.
Conventionally,, if the superhard particles content in cutter elements is less than 3 percent by volume substantially, the cutting efficiency of cutter elements may be too low in some applications.Conventionally, the content of superhard particles and the composition of element can be chosen according to the needs of various application, for example, pierce in ground, or Concrete Cutting or stone.In lotion and the ceramic particle such as metal carbides that therefore comprises in cutter elements can have strengthen cutter elements wearability aspect.It seems that the lotion extruding that unexpectedly, contains the superhard particles content enough for practical application do not cause extrusion equipment consume fast wastefully.In the situation that not hope is subject to particular theory constraint, can works as when lotion is just being extruded and between superhard particles and extruding equipment, form the layer of fluid or the layer of other material, thus potentially for equipment provides certain protection.The protection of equipment can be further by superhard particles being encapsulated in harder inner region and softer outskirt and or applying or be coated superhard particles by the coating with thinner and strengthen.The viscosity increasing or reduce lotion can help its extruding, and the viscosity increasing can increase the robustness of green compact.
Nonrestrictive example is below provided in further detail.
