PDC DRILL BIT

TECHNICAL SUMMARY

PDC bits are designed and manufactured in two structurally dissimilar styles: Matrix-body bit and Steel-body bits. The two provide significantly different capabilities, because both types have certain advantages, a choice between them would be decided by the needs of the application.

▪️Matrix-body
“Matrix” is a very hard, rather brittle composite material comprising tungsten carbide grains metallurgical bonded with a softer, tougher, metallic binder. Matrix is desirable as a bit material, because its hardness is resistant to abrasion and erosion. It is capable of withstanding relatively high compressive loads, but, compared with steel, has low resistance to impact loading.
Matrix is relatively heterogeneous, because it is a composite material. Because the size and placement of the particles of tungsten carbide it contains vary (by both design and circumstances), its physical properties are slightly less predictable than steel.
Matrix body bits are manufactured by mold process. The tungsten carbide and binder materials are arranged into the mold. The mold get placed in to the furnace for certain period of the time and materials are cooked to certain temperature. The mold later cooled down and broken to remove the unfinished matrix bit.
▪️Steel-body
Steel is metallurgical opposite of matrix. It is capable of withstanding high impact loads, but is relatively soft and without protective features, would quickly fail by abrasion and erosion. Quality steels are essentially homogeneous with structural limits that rarely surprise their users. Steel body bits are manufactured by machining the steel bars per design.
