3D打印金刚石复合片及其钻头的研究进展

Research progress of 3D printing PDC and PDC bit

PDC钻头已成为油气勘探领域的首选钻头类型,日益提升的PDC钻头性能要求特别是钻进效率要求给钻头制造带来较大挑战。钻头工作面结构改进是PDC钻头实现高效破岩的关键,但这给PDC钻头制造带来难题。3D打印技术是一种新型的快速成形技术,具有制造任意复杂形状结构、个性化定制和创意设计的优点,将3D打印工艺应用于PDC及其钻头的生产是未来发展的必然趋势。本文中介绍了目前用于制备PDC及其钻头的3D打印技术的基本原理,包括光固化成形技术(SLA)、熔融沉积技术(FDM)、激光选区烧结(SLS)、激光选区熔化技术(SLM)和喷墨粘粉式(3DP)等;总结了现有3D打印技术在PDC及其钻头制造方面的研究进展,并对未来3D打印PDC钻头的发展进行了展望。

PDC bit has become the preferred type of drill bits in the field of oil and gas exploration.The ever-increasing performance requirements of PDC bits,especially the drilling efficiency,have brought great challenges to the drill bits.The improvement of the drill bit working face structure is crucial to the efficient rock breaking of PDC bits.However,this brings great difficulties to the manufacture of drill bits.3D printing technology is a new type of rapid prototyping technology which has the advantages of manufacturing any complex shape structures,personalized customization and creative design.It is an inevitable trend to apply 3D printing technology to the production of PDC bits.This paper focuses on the basic principles of 3D printing technologies currently used to prepare PDC bits,including photolithography(SLA),fused deposition(FDM),selective laser sintering(SLS),selective laser melting(SLM)and three dimensional printing(3DP),etc.And then it summarizes the research progress of the existing 3D printing technology in the manufacture of PDC and PDC bits,and gives an outlook on the development of 3D printing PDC and PDC bits in the future.
