Study on drilling mechanism and optimization of percussion-extruding DTH hammer bit

The authors tested the percussion-extruding Down-the-hole(DTH)hammer bit with five different structures and mainly analyzed the drilling mechanism between conical bit and stepped bit.In addition,aiming at "the pile effect" in combination with the advantage of stepped bit,we design a new cam spinning bit and test it outdoors.The result shows that using cam spinning bit can solve the problem of "the pile effect",which can also obtain higher drilling efficiency than using conical bit in high confining pressure...
