Abstract

A shaped insert that includes a top portion, and a grip length, wherein the grip length is modified to have a non-uniform cross sectional area is disclosed. In another case, a shaped insert includes a top portion, and a grip length, wherein the grip length is modified such that the insert is non-cylindrical. In another case, a shaped insert includes a top portion, and a grip length, wherein the grip length is coated in a non-uniform manner.

Claims (10)

1. An insert for a drill bit, comprising:
a top portion; and a grip length, comprising a grip region wherein the grip region is coated in a non-uniform manner.
2. The insert of claim 1, wherein a coating comprises a boride, a nitride, or a carbide of a group IVA, VA, or VI transition metal (Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W), or more than one of the foregoing.
3. The insert of claim 2, wherein the coating is titanium nitride.
4. The insert of claim 3, wherein the titanium nitride is deposited on the insert by physical vapor deposition.
5. The insert of any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the cross-sectional area of the coated grip region is decreased over at least a portion of the grip region.
6. The insert of claim 4, wherein the grip region of the coated insert is non-circular.
7. A method of forming a shaped insert, comprising:
forming an insert comprising a top portion and a grip length; and coating the insert in a non-uniform manner, wherein a coating comprises a boride, a nitride, or a carbide of a group IVA, VA, or VI transition metal (Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W), or more than one of the foregoing wherein the insert is inserted into a substantially uniform pocket.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the non-uniform coating is titanium nitride.
9. The method of claim 8, further comprising depositing the titanium nitride on the insert by physical vapor deposition.
10. The method of claim 7 further comprising inserting the shaped insert into a substantially cylindrical insert pocket of a drill bit.
