The Principle of the Drilling by Impregnated Diamond Bits and the Classification of Rocks

Recently impregnated diamond bits have been widely applied in drilling hard and medium - hard formations in the world . It is quite necessary to study the fracturing mecha-nism of the impregnated diamond bit and the classification of rocks , which can realize optimum drilling . Using multi - parameter rotary test stand can monitor and print nine parameters . The diamond size and concentration for experiment are various and there are nearly 200 types of samples , numbering over 1000 pieces . The results of laboratory are the same as those in the field . Besides , this paper expresses that the diamond concentration of impregnated diamond bits effect the bonding strength of diamond imbedded in ma-trix . During drilling by impregnated diamond bits three ways are used to cool the bits . The contact area between impregnated diamond layer and flow , and the drilling flow through annulus carrying away heat with conduction form can be shown by equations . It is impossible to classify the rock drillability only by using single factor . The best method is to use main factors to analyse the drillability of rocks. Only in this way , the results can be applied to practice .
