- the actuation unit 155 controls a flow of fluid to alter or change a position of the rubbing member 160 to control the depth of cut and to extend the life of the drill bit 150. Extending the rubbing member 160 extends bit life and the reduced cutter wear by decreasing the cutter exposure to the formation. For the same WOB (weight on bit) and RPM (revolutions per minute) for the drill bit 150, the ROP (rate of penetration) is generally higher when drilling into a soft formation, such as shale, than when drilling into a hard formation, such as sand. Transitioning drilling from a soft formation to a hard formation may cause unwanted wear on cutters because of the decrease in ROP. Controlling the depth of cut when transitioning between formation regions by controlling a position of the rubbing member 160 and thereby reduces wear on the drill bit 150.
- the structure of the drill bit 150 and rubbing member 160 are described further in reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
- FIG. 2 is perspective view of the exemplary drill bit 150 that includes the rubbing member 160 placed on the face section 151 of the bit.

- a drilling fluid is directed from the cavity 206 through passage 204, wherein the fluid lowers a temperature of the rubbing member 160, thereby controlling a position of the rubbing member 160.
- the position of the rubbing member 160 includes extending the member or retracting the member with respect to a surface of the face section 151.
- the rubbing member 160 is configured to extend and retract from the surface of the face section in a direction that is substantially parallel to a bit axis 208. As depicted, the rubbing member 160 is in thermal communication with the passage 204, wherein fluid flow through the passage affects a temperature of the rubbing member 160. In one embodiment, the passage 204 directs the fluid into the wellbore or into the cavity after flowing by the rubbing member 160. In an embodiment, fluid in the passage 204 is in contact with a portion of the rubbing member 160. In another embodiment, a material, such as a membrane that allows thermal communication, is located between the passage 204 and the rubbing member 160.

- the sensor assembly 308 may determine a formation composition and/or vibration, wherein the determined parameters are used by the controller 306 to determine a position for the rubbing member 160 and a resulting depth of cut for the drill bit 150.
- the flow control device 304 may restrict or stop the flow of fluid through the passage 204 depending on a desired position for the rubbing member 160.
- the thermally responsive material 302 is heated by the drilling operation being performed by the bit. Heating the thermally responsive material 302 causes it to expand and alter the position of the rubbing member 160 to an extended position.
- the rubbing member 160 is configured to move in and out of the face section 151, as shown by arrows 310 based on the expansion and contraction of the thermally responsive material 302. The expanded and heated thermally responsive material 302 moves the rubbing member 160 to the extended position to reduce the depth of cut and wear on the bit.

- the flow control device 304 directs a heating or cooling fluid into the passage 204 to control the position of the rubbing member 160.
- the thermally responsive material 302 expands when heated and contracts when cooled, thereby enabling the flow control device 304 to change a position of the rubbing member 160 based on flow of a heating or cooling fluid in passage 204.
- heating, cooling and/or no fluid is flowed into the passage 204, depending on properties of the thermally responsive material 302 and
- the cooling and/or heating fluid may be a "clean" fluid, such as a refrigerant, supplied uphole of the bit 150 or stored within the BHA 130, wherein the fluid may be heated by operation of the bit 150.
- the cooling fluid may be insulated from heated portions of the bit during drilling to avoid temperature increases.
- the drilling fluid is supplied in passage 204 to heat and/or cool the thermally responsive material 302.
- the thermally responsive material 302 is any suitable material configured to expand when heated above a first selected temperature.

- the rubbing member 160 is only configured to change from a retracted position (higher depth of cut) to an extended position (lower depth of cut) one time, wherein the thermally responsive material 302 expands and stays in the expanded position.
- the thermally responsive material 302 is configured to expand and contract based on the temperature of the material a plurality of times.
- the thermally responsive material 302 may include any material capable of withstanding downhole conditions without experiencing degradation.

- the thermally responsive material 302 may be described as having a thermally responsive property.
- thermally responsive refers to the capacity of the material to be heated above the first selected temperature and to expand from a first contracted position to a second expanded position as it is heated. However, the same material may then be restored to its original shape and size, i.e., the contracted position, by cooling the material, to a second selected temperature.
- the second selected temperature may be less than about the first selected temperature or may be another temperature, depending on application needs and the material used.
