Therefore the impact experiments of the single PDC cutters with different attack angles in four rocks: black basalt, Missouri red granite, Halston limestone, and a very soft (Roubidoux) sandstone were carried out, and the effects of rake angles of PDC cutters on both the penetration and impact resistance of PDC cutters have been discussed in detail. Test results show that a PDC insert can withstand a very strong impact in compression but is easily damaged by impact shearing, the PDC cutters are more easily damaged by shearing if the attack angles are relatively small, the 45? PDC cutters have the least penetration resistance among the cutters tested. Thus it is suggested that the attack angles of PDC cutters should be larger than 30? for bits which must withstand impact from a hammer.展开更多

This kind of failure could be reduced to some extent by optimizing the grain size of WC and content of Co in the substrate.PDC with much improved impact resistance is produced by also optimizing the diamond size and the content of binder phase in the layer. Drop-test with different conditions of energy and speed are carried out on the newly developed PDC and wear resistance test is done and the result is compared with that of previous PDC. It is found that the newly developed PDC shows 40%better impact resistance than previous PDC.展开更多
