Definitions

  • the invention relates to boring tools and to methods of manufacturing the same, and more particularly is concerned with those of such tools which are to be used for boring rocks of a hardness higher than medium one. as well as with a method of manufacturing such tools.
  • a rock-destroying member comprising a metallic matrix provided with embedded fine grins (50-800 p.) in the form of single-crystals or polycrystals of diamond or diamond-based abrasive materials, as well as of materials other than diamonds, such as cubic boron nitride and products on the bases thereof.
  • boring tools similar to those described above are generally used, with the only difference being that their matrix is provided with embedded coarse grains /l2.5 mm/ of an abrasive material. These grains are arranged over the rock-destroying surface of the tool, that is, over that surface which is in contact with the rock being bored during the operation of the tool.
  • the fine abrasive grains are used mainly to increase the strength of the matrix body.
  • the practical objects of the invention consist in an increase of the service life ofa boring tool, an extension of its working range, and in particular as applied to its efficient use for boring moderately abrasive rocks, and an improvement of its efficiency on the whole in any rock, including moderately abrasive ones.
  • the thickness of the metallic layer arranged in the matrix over the rock-destroying surface of the tool is preferably substantially equal to the depth of penetration of the coarse abrasive grains therein.
  • the manufacture of the boring tool comprising the steps of placing a metal charge containing coarse and fine abrasive grains into a mold, preliminarily pressing the charge against the tool body, impregnating the pressed charge with a metal melt and allowing it to stay until solidification, according to the invention at the step of placing the charge containing fine and coarse abrasive grains into the mold a layer of exclusively metallic charge is formed which is so arranged relative to the first charge that the layer of the exclusively metallic charge forms the rock-destroying surface of the tool, with the coarse abrasive grains being placed in such a manner as to penetrate at one half two third into the charge layer containing fine abrasive grains at the boundary between the two charge layers, the remaining portion of the grains being located in said exclusively metallic charge layer.
  • the thickness of the metallic layer of the charge, which forms the rock-destroying surface of the tool is preferably substantially equal to the depth of penetration of the coarse abrasive grains therein.
  • FIG. 1 shows a boring tool which, in this case, comprises a core-boring bit according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged detail view of the circled zone I in FIG. 1 illustrating the principle of arrangement of the layers and cutting elements in the matrix.
  • the description refers to a coreboring bit. It comprises a steel body 1 supporting a rock-destructing member 2 made as a matrix with embedded abrasive grains. A part of the matrix body defined by a layer 3 contains embedded fine grains 4 uniformly distributed over the entire layer 3.
  • a layer 5 of the matrix which is the outer layer relative to the layer 3 and which forms a rock-destructing surface 6 of the tool, is made exclusively of metal without fine embedded grains.
  • Coarse abrasive grains 7 are located at the boundary between the matirx layers 3 and 5 so as to penetrate at one half two thirds into the layer 3, with the remaining portion of the grains being located in the layer 5.
  • Fine and coarse abrasive grains may comprise grains of any abrasive materials, such as natural and synthetic diamonds, artificial materials on the basis of diamond and materials other than diamonds, such as cubic boron nitride and products on the basis thereof, and the like.
  • Abrasive grains may be in the form of a crumb of single-crystals or polycrystals. Normally employed fine abrasive grains of a size of from 50 to 800 p. may be used.
  • a size of the coarse abrasive grains may be from 1 to 2.5 mm as usual.
  • the metallic portion of the matrix may consist of nickel, iron and tungsten carbide, or of tungsten carbide and cobalt.
  • a layer 8 adjoining the tool body 1 is located over the layer 3 and consists also exclusively of metal to spare the abrasive material because the layer 8 takes practically no part in the destruction of rock.
  • the coarse abrasive grains serve as the cutting elements, while the fine grains are used mainly to improve the matrix strength.
  • the total thickness of the layers 3 and 5 is substantially equal to the depth of penetration of the coarse abrasive grains 7 therein.
  • the thickness of the layer 3 is of from 1.0 to 1.8 mm and a thickness of the layer 5 is of from 0.3 to 0.6 mm.
  • the boring tool according to the invention is manufactured by the following method:
  • a metallic charge which does not contain abrasive grains, is placed on the bottom plate of a graphite mold to form a layer 5 of from 0.3 to 0.6 mm depending on the size of the coarse abrasive grains, and the charge is then compacted.
  • Coarse diamond grains are embedded into this charge layer, with the grains being dipped at the entire depth of this layer by known methods.
  • the layer 3 of metallic charge containing the fine abrasive grains is poured over this layer 5.
  • a concentration of the abrasive grains in the metallic charge is as normally used and is equal to 50-100 percent. After the formation of the layer 3 it is also compacted. The remaining part of the graphite mold is filled with an exclusively metallic charge.
  • the charge, which is so placed, is pressed against the tool body 1.
  • the pressing force normally does not exceed 50-60 kglcm
  • the above-described order of placing of the charge is preferable, but it will be apparent that the charge may be placed in the reversed order with the same dimensional ratio as mentioned above. In the latter case the charge is poured from the bit body side in the following order.
  • the thickness of the layers depends upon the size of the coarse abrasive grains, as mentioned above, a predetermined penetration at one half two thirds will be maintained in each of the two layers.
  • the steel body is united with the matrix of the rock-destroying member. Then, a necessary machining of the boring tool is performed, and the tool is ready for operation.
  • the boring tool manufactured according to the invention posseses advantages as comparedwith known boring tools. Under similar operating conditions. it is characterized by a reduced consumption of abrasive material per unit of the boring depth by 30-50 percent due to more complete utilization of the coarse abrasive grains since the performance thereof at the last stage, when the protective metallic layer 5 is destroyed. is facilitated by the presence of the exposed abrasive grains. embedded in the layer 3. i
