Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to tool components.
- Tool components, particularly cutting elements, in the form of composite abrasive compacts are well known in the art and used extensively in various cutting, drilling, milling and other abrasive operations. The tool components generally comprise a layer or table of ultra-hard abrasive material bonded to a cemented carbide substrate. The tool component has a generally cylindrical shape with the layer or table of ultra-hard abrasive material being bonded to one of two flat ends of a cylindrical substrate. The ultra-hard abrasive material is generally polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN).
- In use, the upper exposed peripheral edge of the layer or table of ultra-hard abrasive material is the edge which provides the cutting edge for the component. In drilling, for example, the cutting element is generally mounted at a negative rake angle relative to the direction of advancement of the component through the rock, as illustrated by
FIG. 1 of the attached drawings. Referring toFIG. 1 , the prior art cutting element comprises alayer 10 of ultra-hard abrasive material bonded to a cementedcarbide substrate 12. The cutting element has a cylindrical shape. Theperipheral edge 14 of thelayer 10 provides the cutting edge for the element.FIG. 1 illustrates the cutting element advancing in the direction ofarrow 16 into a rock face orother workpiece 18. In so advancing, a considerable load is placed on the frontflat face 20 of thelayer 10. This in turn creates a significant bending moment on the cutting element and hence stress on this element. This stress leads to fracture and spalling. U.S. Pat. No. 4,109,737 discloses a rotary drill bit for rock drilling which comprises a plurality of cutting elements mounted in a crown of the drill bit. Each cutting element comprises an elongate pin with a thin layer of crystalline diamond bonded to the free end of the pin. The layer of polycrystalline diamond presents a curved cutting surface for the drill bit. - According to the present invention, a tool component comprises a layer of ultra-hard abrasive material bonded to a substrate, the layer of ultra-hard abrasive material comprising a pair of opposed end surfaces, an upper surface defined between the end surfaces, and at least one curved and tapered cutting edge defined at the intersection of the respective end surfaces and the upper surface.
- The end surfaces are preferably tapered complementary to the cutting edges.
- The respective cutting edges of the tool component and the respective end surfaces leading to the cutting edges are generally wedge-shaped. This means that the cutting edges and end surfaces will have generally converging regions. It is preferred that the converging regions meet notionally beyond the cutting edges, thus providing the curved cutting edges.
- The upper surface of the layer follows generally the same or a similar profile to that of the respective cutting edges, at least in the region of the cutting edges.
- In one form of the invention, the tool component has an essentially cylindrical shape presenting opposite ends and a curved side surface, the layer of ultra-hard abrasive material being located in the curved side surface and presenting a curved upper surface.
- In another form of the invention, the tool component has an essentially rectangular or cylindrical substrate to which is bonded a layer of ultra-hard abrasive material presenting a curved upper surface.
- The interface between the layer of ultra-hard abrasive material and the substrate may be planar, curved or otherwise profiled.
- The ultra-hard abrasive layer may be PCD, PCBN or CVD diamond.
- The substrate will typically be a cemented carbide substrate, and preferably a cemented tungsten carbide substrate.
- The tool component of the invention may be used for a variety of abrasive operations. Preferably, the tool component is used as a cutting element or as a gauge stone in a rotary drill bit for subterranean rock drilling.
- The invention will now be described in more detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a sectional side view of a cutting element of the prior art, in use; - FIGS. 2 to 5 are perspective views of different embodiments of tool components of the invention;
-
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a tool component of the invention, in use cutting a workpiece; -
FIG. 7 is a side view ofFIG. 6 ; and -
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a body from which a tool component of the invention may be produced. - Embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIGS. 2 to 5 of the accompanying drawings illustrate different embodiments.
- Referring first to
FIG. 2 , atool component 30, which is generally cylindrical, comprises alayer 32 of ultra-hard abrasive material bonded to asubstrate 34. Theinterface 36 between thelayer 32 and thesubstrate 34 is planar. - The
tool component 30 has convergingend surfaces 38, 40 and acurved side surface 42. Thelayer 32 of ultra-hard abrasive material is located lengthwise in the tool component. Thelayer 32 presents a curvedupper surface 44 and curved and essentially wedge-shaped cutting edges 46, 48 defined at the intersection of theupper surface 44 and therespective end surfaces 38,40. - A second embodiment of the invention is illustrated by
FIG. 3 . Referring - to this figure, a tool component comprises a cemented
carbide substrate 50 which is generally cylindrical. Thesubstrate 50 has aflat base surface 52, acurved side surface 54 and convergingsurfaces converging surfaces layer 60 of ultra-hard abrasive material. Thelayer 60 is bonded to thesubstrate 50 along profiledinterface 62. Thelayer 60 has a wedge-shapedupper surface 64 and wedge-shaped cutting edges - A third embodiment of the invention is illustrated by
FIG. 4 . This embodiment is similar to the embodiment ofFIG. 3 and like parts carry like numerals. The difference with this embodiment is that theprofiled interface 62 is essentially crescent-shaped. - A fourth embodiment of the invention is illustrated by
FIG. 5 . Referring to this Figure, a tool component comprises a generally rectangular cementedcarbide substrate 70 having a flatlower surface 72 and a flatupper surface 74. Bonded to the flatupper surface 74 is alayer 76 of ultra-hard abrasive material. Thelayer 76 has an uppercurved surface 78. Further, thelayer 76 has, at opposite ends thereof, convergingsurfaces shaped cutting edges - The tool components illustrated by FIGS. 2 to 5 are merely illustrative and not limiting. The curves of the various surfaces may vary as may the shapes of the interfaces between the layer of ultra-hard abrasive material and the substrate. The cutting edges may be sharp or radiused. In all variations, the tool component will retain its essentially curved and wedge-shaped cutting edge or edges and surfaces leading to the cutting edge or edges.
- The tool components have particular application as cutting elements for rotary drill bits and as gauge stones for such bits.
FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate diagrammatically a tool component ofFIG. 2 as a cutting element in a rotary drill bit. Referring to these Figures, the cuttingelement 90 is mounted in the crown of a drill bit. In use, leadingcutting edge 92 carries out the cutting action on a rock formation orsubstrate 94. The tool component advances into the workpiece in the direction ofarrow 96. The cutting action of the cutting edge is similar to that of the prior art cutting elements illustrated byFIG. 1 . However, the essentially wedge-shape of thecutting edge 92, the curved surfaces leading to this cutting edge and the curvedupper surface 98 reduces very substantially the load which is placed on the layer of ultra-hard abrasive material as it advances through the substrate in a similar fashion to the bow of a boat through a body of water. Accordingly, it reduces substantially the bending moment to which the cutting element is exposed. - The tool components of the invention may be produced from a known ultra-hard abrasive material/substrate body as illustrated diagrammatically in
FIG. 8 . The body 100 comprises a substrate, generally a cementedcarbide substrate 102 having a flatlower surface 104 and a flatupper surface 106. Bonded to the flatupper surface 106 is alayer 108 of ultra-hard abrasive material. The body is cylindrical in shape. A blank 110 may be cut from the body 100 as shown by the dottedlines 112. The cutting, as shown, is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the body 100 and through the interface between thelayer 108 andsubstrate 102. The blank 110 may then be shaped to produce a tool component as shown, for example, byFIG. 2 . This is merely illustrative of one way of making the tool components of the invention. Variations, such as variations in the profile of the interface betweenlayer 108 andsubstrate 104, for example, would also fall within the ambit of this invention.
