Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of producing a steel body com prising hard material inserts, e.g. producing drill bits for rock drilling.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method of producing a steel body comprising hard material inserts which method avoids machining to close tolerances and where the strength of the final product is not limited by the strength of a soft material between the steel body and the hard material inserts.
  • no machining marks are present on the inside of the steel hole to act as stress raisers and fatigue initiators.
  • the invention also guarantees full support of the bottom of the buttons. The invention also makes it possible to reduce the amount of hard metal inside the steel, resulting in improved economy.
  • the invention which is defined by the subsequent claims, fulfills the above mentioned object by prescribing that steel powder is compacted from a cold state to a high density preform comprising the hard material inserts and that the composition of the steel powder is chosen such that it undergoes substantial shrinkage during the subsequent sintering.
  • the steel powder is compacted by the impact of a high velocity punch, whereby a considerably higher and more uniform density is obtained than with conventional pressing techniques. This applies especially to the regions nearest to the hard material inserts where an adequate powder flow is not obtained with conventional techniques.
  • the hard material inserts may, furthermore, be advantageously provided with surface irregularities, e.g. being rough as compacted and sintered, or otherwise such shaped that they become mechanically locked in the steel body through the compaction.
  • a layer of metal e.g. electro-plated nickel, iron or cobalt
  • the metal layer may be deposited on the hard material inserts in any suitable way.
  • a further advantage with the present invention is obtained if the composition of the steel powder is varied so that a sub-surface layer of lower hardness is obtained. Such a layer would be rapidly removed during operation after the surface layer of normal hardness has been worn down, whereby the self-sharpening of the drill bit is improved.
  • This lower hardness may be obtained through decreasing the copper or carbon content of the alloy, or increasing the nickel content. Variation in hardness may also be used to increase resistance to gauge wear.
  • hard material in the present application mostly refers to hard metals, e.g. various metal carbides
  • the term also includes other suitable hard materials e.g. other carbides or diamonds.
  • hard material inserts which comprise hard metal discs having a surface layer of sintered diamonds. This diamond layer is protected during sintering by nickel plating of the hard metal and the diamonds. Alternatively, the sintering temperature may be reduced.
  • a further advantage obtained with the present invention is that the hard material inserts can have almost any form. This means that they can be given a form which is optimized for a particular application. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain a steel body comprising hard material inserts with an overall strength which up to now has been believed to be unobtainable with powder metallurgy.
  • the method according to the present invention is performed in the following way.
  • the preformed hard material inserts are placed on a conventional die in the desired pattern.
  • the die is then placed in a compaction chamber.
  • Steel powder preferably with the above mentioned composition, is then added around the inserts. Normally the lowermost part of the inserts will extend outside the volume of powder.
  • the steel powder is covered by another die or a thin disc. After this the powder is compacted from a cold state to a high density preform. This is preferably performed by means of a high velocity punch, which impacts the powder. Experiments have shown that good results are obtainable in the speed range 100-600 m/s. After compaction the preform is sintered.
  • Sintering should take place at a temperature in the range 1100 to 1250°C and last for 1/2-3 hours. These values depend somewhat on the composition of the alloy and the type of fixation required. A steel powder with the above mentioned composition will, during sintering, undergo a substantial shrinkage, 0.5-2 %. In order to improve the fixation of the inserts a chemical bond between the hard material and the steel may be produced by the use of a flux on the interface of the two materials. After sintering the compact may be either furnace cooled or air cooled or quenched in an oil bath or similar.
  • the back face is machined flat and then friction welded to a steel tube. No special techniques are required for the friction welding. Good results have been obtained with a rotation speed of 1500 rpm, a welding time of 10 seconds and a contact pressure of 20 bar. After this the part is machined to get rid of the weld burr and to obtain the flushing holes.
  • the part is also provided with a thread or other suitable fitment for connection to a drill r od . It is desirable, although not necessary, to temper the finished bit at a temperature of about 200°C.
  • fig. 1 shows a drill bit for rock drilling produced according to the invention.
  • Figs . 2-5 show different embodiments of the drill bit from below.
  • Figs. 6-11 show a number of alternative shapes of hard material inserts for drill bits.
  • the drill bit according to Fig. 1 comprises a head portion 1 comprising a number of hard metal inserts 2. This part of the drill bit has been manufactured with the method according to the invention. Head portion 1 has been connected with a steel tube 3 by friction welding. The drill has further been provided with a thread 4 for the connection with a drill string and a channel 5 for flushing fluid. As can be seen in figs. 2-5 virtually any cross-sectional form can be used for the inserts. In addition to the forms shown almost any prior art form may be used. In figs. 6-11 a number of alternative inserts are shown. These inserts, which are only a few examples of possible forms, have circular cross-sectional areas although they may have other cross-sectional forms, e.g.
  • Fig. 6 shows an insert having negative taper.
  • Fig. 7 shows an insert having a rough surface.
  • fig. 8 the insert is provided with a neck or waist.
  • fig. 9 the insert is provided with several necks.
  • the insert in fig. 10 has a form similar to that of a human tooth.
  • the insert shown in fig. 11 is additionally provided with a neck.
