Definitions

  • Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to the field of earth boring tools and in particular relates to polycrystalline diamond cutting elements used on drill bits for earth boring.
  • Specialized drill bits are used to drill well-bores, boreholes, or wells in the earth for a variety of purposes, including water wells; oil and gas wells; injection wells; geothermal wells; monitoring wells, mining; and, other similar operations. These drill bits come in two common types, roller cone drill bits and fixed cutter drill bits.
  • drill bit is attached directly to a shaft that is turned by a motor, engine, drive, or other means of providing torque to rotate the drill bit.
  • the well may be several thousand feet or more in total depth.
  • the drill bit is connected to the surface of the earth by what is referred to as a drill string and a motor or drive that rotates the drill bit.
  • the drill string typically comprises several elements that may include a special down-hole motor configured to provide additional or, if a surfaces motor or drive is not provided, the only means of turning the drill bit.
  • Special logging and directional tools to measure various physical characteristics of the geological formation being drilled and to measure the location of the drill bit and drill string may be employed.
  • Additional drill collars, heavy, thick-walled pipe typically provide weight that is used to push the drill bit into the formation.
  • drill pipe connects these elements, the drill bit, down-hole motor, logging tools, and drill collars, to the surface where a motor or drive mechanism turns the entire drill string and, consequently, the drill bit, to engage the drill bit with the geological formation to drill the well-bore deeper.
  • drilling mud As a well is drilled, fluid, typically a water or oil based fluid referred to as drilling mud is pumped down the drill string through the drill pipe and any other elements present and through the drill bit.
  • Other types of drilling fluids are sometimes used, including air, nitrogen, foams, mists, and other combinations of gases, but for purposes of this application drilling fluid and/or drilling mud refers to any type of drilling fluid, including gases.
  • drill bits typically have a fluid channel within the drill bit to allow the drilling mud to pass through the bit and out one or more jets, ports, or nozzles.
  • the purpose of the drilling fluid is to cool and lubricate the drill bit, stabilize the well-bore from collapsing or allowing fluids present in the geological formation from entering the well-bore, and to carry fragments or cuttings removed by the drill bit up the annulus and out of the well-bore.
  • drilling fluid typically is pumped through the inner annulus of the drill string and out of the drill bit
  • drilling fluid can be reverse-circulated. That is, the drilling fluid can be pumped down the annulus (the space between the exterior of the drill pipe and the wall of the well-bore) of the well-bore, across the face of the drill bit, and into the inner fluid channels of the drill bit through the jets or nozzles and up into the drill string.
  • Roller cone drill bits were the most common type of bit used historically and featured two or more rotating cones with cutting elements, or teeth, on each cone. Roller cone drill bits typically have a relatively short period of use as the cutting elements and support bearings for the roller cones typically wear out and fail after only 50 hours of drilling use.
  • fixed cutter drill bits that employ very durable polycrystalline diamond (PCD) compact cutters, tungsten carbide cutters, natural or synthetic diamond, other hard materials, or combinations thereof, have been developed. These bits are referred to as fixed cutter bits because they employ cutting elements positioned on one or more fixed blades in selected locations or randomly distributed. Unlike roller cone bits that have cutting elements on a cone that rotates, in addition to the rotation imparted by a motor or drive, fixed cutter bits do not rotate independently of the rotation imparted by the motor or drive mechanism. Through varying improvements, the durability of fixed cutter bits has improved sufficiently to make them cost effective in terms of time saved during the drilling process when compared to the higher, up-front cost to manufacture the fixed cutter bits.
  • PCD polycrystalline diamond
  • a challenge occurs, however, in bonding the PCD cutting elements to the cutting slug because the cutting slug—typically a cemented carbide substrate—has a different material than the PCD cutting elements and, therefore, has different material properties, such as a different rate of thermal expansion than the PCD cutting element.
  • the differences in material properties can cause thermal stresses that lead the PCD cutting element to crack, delaminate, or otherwise become weakened and/or damaged at the interface between the cutting slug and the PCD cutting element.
  • Embodiments of the invention include a first layer comprising at least one polycrystalline diamond segment positioned upon a second layer or transition layer.
  • a first PCD segment is positioned proximate a second PCD segment and separated therefrom by an interfacial boundary.
  • the interfacial boundary optionally is non-planar relative to the first and/or the second PCD segment.
  • the interfacial boundary includes an abrasive material.
  • the interfacial boundary is contiguous with and formed of the same material as the second layer.
  • the first layer remains thermally stable at a higher temperature than the temperature below which the second table remains thermally stable.
  • the second layer is coupled to a substrate or cutting slug.
  • Embodiments of the PCD segments include those that have been processed to provide a granular structure comprising interstices with a reduced number of metallic catalysts.
  • Other embodiments of the PCD segments include those that have been processed to provide a granular structure that include interstices infiltrated with a material that remains thermally stable at a higher temperature than the temperature below which the metallic catalysts remain thermally stable.
  • Other embodiments of the granular structure of the PCD segments comprise interstices that include one or more non-metallic catalysts.
  • Yet other embodiments of the granular structure of the PCD segments comprise substantially fully dense diamond, i.e., a granular structure being substantially free of voids and/or interstices with or without other materials within any remaining interstices.
  • inventions include a body of abrasive material coupled to a substrate.
  • the body includes a substantially pointed or conical shaped cutting surface.
  • the body optionally includes one or more PCD segments coupled to and exposed in the conical cutting surface.
  • a method of forming a PCD cutting elements coupled to a cutting slug includes providing a canister or other container configured to receive a plurality of thermally stable pre-sintered polycrystalline diamond segments.

  • the catalyzing material 310 is selected from a group of metallic materials, including, but not limited to, cobalt, nickel, iron, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, platinum, chromium, manganese, tantalum, osmium, iridium, and combinations thereof.
  • Cobalt and other catalysts typically result in a PCD granular structure that typically suffers from thermal degradation at temperatures (typically around from about 650 degrees Celsius to about 700 degrees Celsius) that the PCD granular structure can be exposed to during normal use. That is, the PCD granular structure exhibits increased tendencies to fail, crack, chip, delaminate, or otherwise wear more quickly during use at normal operating temperatures, leading to premature wear and reduced life.
  • the PCD segments (such as segments 110 in FIG. 1 ) are processed after they have been sintered to reduce the amount of catalyst 310 present in the PCD granular structure 300 or remove the catalyst 310 , either from the entire PCD segment or at least to a depth at which the PCD segment is heated through the transfer of heat generated during use less than the temperature at which the PCD granular structure begins to exhibit decreased thermal stability.
  • the catalysts are removed via leaching and/or acid etching with acids that react with the catalysts and/or other known methods, leaving a PCD segment that is said to be thermally stable, typically referred to as thermally stable polycrystalline (TSP).
  • TSP thermally stable polycrystalline
  • FIG. 2 Illustrated in FIG. 2 is an idealized microscopic level view of a sintered PCD granular structure 200 that has been processed to remove the catalyst (e.g., catalyst 220 in FIG. 3 ), thereby leaving voids 220 and PCD grains 201 , as discussed above. That is, the thermally stable PCD segments 110 of FIG. 1 optionally have been processed in such a way to improve the thermal stability of the PCD segments 110 relative to PCD segments that have not undergone such processing. Improved thermal stability means that the diamond segments remain stable, e.g., do not exhibit increased tendencies to fail, crack, chip, delaminate, or otherwise wear more quickly during use at higher temperatures than these failure modes would otherwise manifest themselves.
  • the catalyst e.g., catalyst 220 in FIG. 3
  • the PCD grains 201 typically are submicron in size, providing dimensional context for the FIGS. 2 and 3 , typically from about 1 micron to about 50 microns and, more preferably, from about 5 microns to about 35 microns and, more preferably still, from about 7 microns to about 25 microns.
  • the PCD granular structure is processed to provide PCD grains 201 large enough such that the PCD grains 201 do not easily oxidize and burn up when subjected to the heat caused by friction during use.
  • the PCD granular structure 200 is then subjected to additional processing, such as another sintering process (i.e., double sintering) to cause the PCD grains 201 to grow and expand into the interstices or voids 220 , leaving PCD granular structure that is substantially diamond dense. That is, the PCD granular structure 200 comprises at least 90% PCD grains 201 .
  • additional processing such as another sintering process (i.e., double sintering) to cause the PCD grains 201 to grow and expand into the interstices or voids 220 , leaving PCD granular structure that is substantially diamond dense. That is, the PCD granular structure 200 comprises at least 90% PCD grains 201 .
  • the PCD granular structure 200 is sintered while in contact with non-catalytic materials, i.e., those materials that typically do not catalyze or cause the PCD granular structure to change crystal structure (e.g., from diamond to graphite) and/or lower the temperature at which the PCD granular structure 200 and PCD grains 201 begin to become thermally unstable.
  • non-catalytic materials i.e., those materials that typically do not catalyze or cause the PCD granular structure to change crystal structure (e.g., from diamond to graphite) and/or lower the temperature at which the PCD granular structure 200 and PCD grains 201 begin to become thermally unstable.
  • a non-metallic catalyst 210 that is thermally stable e.g., one having a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of the PCD grains 201 can be placed in contact with the PCD granular structure 201 during the sintering process, thereby causing the non-metallic catalyst 210 to infiltrate and/or grow within one or more of the interstices or voids 220 .
  • the non-metallic catalyst 210 can be selected from a group that includes, but is not limited to, silicon, silicon carbide, boron, carbonates, hydroxide, hydride, hydrate, phosphorus-oxide, phosphoric acid, carbonate, lanthanide, actinide, phosphate hydrate, hydrogen phosphate, phosphorus carbonate, combinations thereof, and other similar materials.

  • thermally stable materials 215 include, but not limited to, cobalt silicide, titanium, niobium, molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, combinations thereof, and other similar materials.
  • a benefit of these thermally stable materials 215 is that they tend to act to make the PCD granular structure 200 less brittle under impact loads.
  • Prior art PCD compacts typically had a PCD segment bonded directly to a substrate. This arrangement caused difficulties during manufacturing and use because, among other problems, the coefficient of thermal expansion differed, sometimes greatly, between the substrate and the PCD segment.
  • the different rates of thermal expansion often resulted in PCD segments that cracked due to the thermal stresses created at the interface of the substrate and the PCD segment as the substrate and PCD segment expanded and contracted at different rates while heating and cooling. Similar results occurred during use in which the PCD segment would be subjected to direct heating caused by friction, whereas the substrate is heated primarily through heat transferred by conduction through the PCD segment and to the substrate.
  • a benefit of the second layer or transition layer 115 is that it solves the previously unresolved problem of bonding a PCD segment to a substrate that has a different coefficient of thermal expansion. That is, embodiments of PCD compacts of the invention have improved thermal stability, improved bonding of the PCD segments to a substrate, improved reliability, and other benefits as described herein and one having skill in the art will understand by reading the disclosure.
  • PCD segments 110 are formed by sintering diamond powder or other similar material and, optionally, a catalyst. Illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 are discs 405 , 410 , that are provided.

  • the discs 405 , 410 include one or more areas 415 in which the PCD segments 110 are formed, the areas 415 being separated by one or more ribs 420 on a front surface 409 of the discs 405 , 410 .
  • the ribs 420 may be straight, non-liner, curvilinear, non-planar, combinations thereof, and the like. (It should be noted that shape and location of the ribs 420 is a mirror of the shape and location of the interfacial boundary 150 of the PCD compact 101 discussed above. Thus, the ribs 420 can optionally be of any shape and any dimension contemplated for the interfacial boundaries.) In addition, the ribs 420 separate the PCD segments 110 from coming into contact with each other during the manufacturing process.
  • Embodiments of the method making PCD include providing a canister or can 601 as seen in FIG. 6A . At least one disc or a first disc 405 is placed within the canister 601 and each area 415 of the disc 405 is filled with, for example, diamond powder 650 (and any catalysts and other materials, which are considered present in the discussion of the diamond powder 650 ), as discussed above, that will be sintered to form the PCD segment 110 , as discussed above. In those instances in which a plurality of discs 405 are placed into the canister 601 so as to form a plurality of PCD segments 110 , optionally another disc 630 separates each disc 405 from the diamond powder 650 proximate to a back surface 407 of each disc 405 .
  • the disc 630 optionally is made of niobium and/or similar such materials, which prevents, at least to some degree, the flow of diamond powder 650 and the growth of crystallized diamond grains into the back surface 407 of the disc 405 during sintering.
  • the number of discs 405 positioned in the canister 601 and, consequently, the number of PCD segments 110 produced, is a function, in part, of the thickness 655 of the layer of diamond powder 650 and the thickness 408 of the discs 405 .
  • the thickness 655 of the diamond powder 650 and the thickness 408 of the disc 405 optionally can be varied in the same canister 601 , thus producing PCD segments of different dimensions in one manufacturing batch.
  • the quantity of PCD segments 110 produced is a function, in part, on the configuration and number of ribs 420 on each disc 405 . Further, different discs 405 with different configurations of ribs 420 can be used in a given canister 601 , thus further affecting the yield of PCD segments 110 .
  • the diamond powder 650 Prior to placing the lid 660 on the canister 601 and sealing the canister 601 , the diamond powder 650 may be tamped down or compacted with an applied pressure low enough to avoid breakage of any of the discs 405 and 630 .
  • the canister 650 is heated to reduce or eliminate some or all of any impurities present in the diamond powder 650 and elsewhere in the canister 601 before sealing the canister 601 .
  • the lid 660 is sealed to the canister 601 through welding, such as laser welding and other known methods.
  • the canister is sealed using a process described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,575,425 to Hall et al., which is herein incorporated by reference for all that it contains.
  • the canister 601 After the canister 601 is sealed, it is placed within a salt form (not shown). One or more salt forms are then stacked and placed on an anvil of a high-temperature, high-pressure press (not shown). The press applies a pressure and a temperature sufficiently high to cause the diamond powder 650 (and any catalysts and other materials) to sinter. During the sintering process, the diamond powder 650 typically reduces in volume as it becomes solid.
  • the diamond powder 650 will have become the sintered PCD segments 110 .
  • An advantage of the ribs 420 of the discs 405 is that the separate PCD segments 110 are easily separable from the discs 420 , thus eliminating a step of cutting the PCD segments 110 out a solid cylinder of polycrystalline diamond with an electron discharge machining (EDM), a process that typically is time consuming and expensive.
  • EDM electron discharge machining
  • Embodiments of the method further include forming PCD compacts, such as those illustrated in FIG. 1 , to combine PCD segments 110 with an unsintered abrasive powder or material that will form the second or transition layer 115 and a substrate 125 .
  • One or more PCD segments 2610 are placed in a canister 2601 , similar to the canister 601 , as illustrated in FIG. 6B .
  • Unsintered abrasive material 2620 such as diamond powder, by way of example, is placed in the canister in between—at the interfacial boundary 2650 —and on top of the PCD segments 2610 that typically have been processed to improve the thermal stability of the PCD segments 2610 , as discussed above.
  • the unsintered abrasive material optionally includes metallic catalysts and/or non-metallic catalysts and/or other thermally stable materials as discussed above.
  • the substrate 2625 is placed on top of the unsintered abrasive material 2620 .
  • the unsintered abrasive material 2620 may be tamped down or compacted with an applied pressure low enough to avoid breakage of any of the PCD segments 2610 .
  • the canister 2601 is heated to reduce or eliminate some or all of any impurities present in the unsintered abrasive material 2620 and elsewhere in the canister 2601 before sealing the canister 2601 .
  • the lid 2660 is sealed to the canister 2601 through welding, such as laser welding and other known methods.

  • the canister 2601 is sealed, it is placed within a salt form (not shown).
  • One or more salt forms are then stacked and placed on an anvil of a high-temperature, high-pressure press (not shown).
  • the press applies a pressure and a temperature sufficiently high to cause the unsintered abrasive material 2620 (and any catalysts and other materials) to sinter.
  • the abrasive material 2620 typically reduces in volume as it becomes solid.
  • the PCD segments 2610 undergo a second, or double, sintering process, by which the PCD grains grow and/or other non-metallic catalysts and/or other thermally stable materials are incorporated and sintered into the PCD segments as discussed above.
  • the abrasive material 2620 forms both a mechanical and a chemical bond or attachment with the PCD segments 2610 at the interfacial boundary 2650 and at a lower surface 2611 .
  • the PCD segments 2610 would exhibit, in part, growth of PCD grains 201 ( FIG. 2 ) into the interstices and voids 220 ( FIG. 2 ) across and into a transition zone 2621 of the now sintered abrasive material 2620 .
  • a solid, rigid diamond layer at the transition zone 2621 forms a mechanical bond between the sintered layer of abrasive material 2620 and the PCD segments 2610 , reducing any residual stress concentrations that may otherwise occur.
  • the abrasive material 2620 may reduce in volume as it sinters, provided further space into which PCD grains may grow during the sintering process, further improving the mechanical bond. It should be noted that while the grain size of the PCD grains and the sintered abrasive material can vary substantially, a grain size that is similar between the PCD grains and the sintered abrasive material can improve and provide a more uniform bond between the two materials as compared to the bond that occurs when the grain sizes are dissimilar.
  • the layer of sintered abrasive material 2620 acts as a transition layer, and is typically selected and prepared to have a coefficient of thermal expansion somewhere between that of the PCD segments 2610 and the substrate 2625 .
  • the gradient of thermal stresses is changed gradually throughout the PCD compact rather than having a sharp transition at each interface. That is, a first layer of PCD segments 2610 is configured to remain thermally stable at a first temperature and a second layer or transition layer 2620 is configured to remain thermally stable at a second temperature lower than the first temperature.
