Abstract: This paper introduces a new kind of diamond bit body material. The characteristics of this material are as follows: the outer bit body cast with tungsten-carbide and the inside is steel shot. So the bit body has got high wear resistance on the outside and good mechanical properties inside at the same time. The mechanical properties inside and the wear resistance outside of the bit were tested. The paper also introduces how to apply a film of mixture of glue-included tungsten-carbide on the surface of the bit mold and graphite stick. The improvements of mechanical properties inside and maintenance of wear resistance outside have made much choice to design wider and deeper junk slots. Thus the performance of bit has been improved.

Abstract: In order to understand the friction characteristics of hot-pressing bit matrix and granite under dry sliding conditions, the influence law of hardness and diamond concentration to the friction coefficient was analyzed and discussed with the data of friction coefficient and torque under different conditions. Three groups of hot-pressing matrix samples of different hardness and three groups of hot-pressing matrix samples with different diamond concentration were chosen. The friction and wear tests were carried out between hot-pressing matrix samples and granite samples. The results showed that the friction torque and coefficient firstly increased, and then decreased with the increase of hardness in dry friction experiments between granite sample and matrix sample without diamond. Compared with data from matrix sample without diamond, the friction torque and friction coefficient decreased significantly when test was carried between granite sample and impregnated diamond matrix sample. The friction torque and coefficient increased with the increase of diamond concentration.
