Description

Drilling tip and drilling bit

The present invention relates to a drilling tip that is attached to a distal end portion of a drilling bit to perform excavation, and a drilling bit in which such a drilling tip is attached to the distal end portion.
This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-240087 filed in Japan on November 27, 2014 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-230103 filed in Japan on November 25, 2015. , The contents of which are incorporated herein.

As a drilling tip attached to the tip of the drill bit for drilling, the tip of the tip body made of cemented carbide is coated with a hard layer made of a sintered polycrystalline diamond harder than the tip body. Is known. Here, Patent Documents 1 to 5 propose a hard layer having a multilayer structure mainly for the purpose of relaxing stress in a polycrystalline diamond sintered body. In the multilayer structure, the hardness is inclined from the outermost layer on the surface of the hard layer toward the chip body, and the toughness is increased.

Generally, the outermost layer of the hard layer having such a multilayer structure is a polycrystalline diamond sintered body having a composition in which diamond particles are sintered by adding Co or the like as a metal binder (metal catalyst). Further, in the inner layer, the toughness is increased while maintaining a higher hardness than the chip body by reducing the diamond content and adding a metal carbide such as WC instead. There has also been proposed a multilayer structure of the inner layer. The inner layer has a lower diamond content and a higher WC content to give a gradient in hardness and toughness.

US Pat. No. 4,649,918 US Pat. No. 8,573,330 US Pat. No. 8,695,733 U.S. Pat. No. 8,292006 Japanese Patent No. 4676700

By the way, in the excavation work using the excavation bit with such excavation tips, for example, excavation of dozens of excavation holes with a depth of several meters in one surface of the bedrock, and explosives are loaded into these excavation holes for blasting. A hole is formed. Therefore, in order to increase the efficiency of excavation work, a long-life excavation bit that does not require replacement when excavating dozens of excavation holes on one side is required.

However, in the excavation tip having the hard layer having the multilayer structure as described above, when the excavation or chipping occurs in the outermost polycrystalline diamond sintered body layer suddenly hitting an extremely hard cemented rock in the rock during excavation. A relatively soft layer with a low hardness inside the hard layer is exposed. When the inside of the hard layer is exposed in such a manner, wear rapidly progresses from the exposed portion, and the wear reaches the tip body, so that excavation becomes impossible and the life of the excavation bit is consumed.

The present invention has been made under such a background, and even if a defect or chipping occurs in the outer layer at the time of excavation, the wear does not immediately reach the tip body, and the excavation performance can be maintained. Provide drilling tips. It is another object of the present invention to provide a long-life drill bit having such a drill tip attached thereto.

In order to solve the above problems and achieve such an object, a drilling tip according to one aspect of the present invention is a drilling tip that is attached to the tip of a drilling bit to perform drilling, and includes a tip body, A hard layer made of a diamond sintered body harder than the chip body and coated on the tip of the chip body, and the hard layer is at least from the surface side of the hard layer toward the chip body side. It has two high-hardness layers and a low-hardness layer having a lower hardness than the high-hardness layer disposed between these high-hardness layers.

In the excavation tip thus configured, the hard layer made of a diamond sintered body coated on the tip of the tip body is directed from the surface side of the hard layer toward the tip body side, that is, the outer layer of the hard layer. From the side to the inside, it has at least two high-hardness layers and a low-hardness layer having a lower hardness than the high-hardness layer disposed between these high-hardness layers. Even if chipping or chipping occurs in the high hardness layer on the side and the inside is exposed, and the inner low hardness layer is worn away from this exposed portion, the high hardness layer on the chip body side located inside this low hardness layer The progress of wear can be suppressed.

For this reason, according to the excavation tip having the above-described configuration, it is possible to prevent wear generated in the hard layer from abruptly progressing and reaching the tip body, and to maintain the excavation performance of the excavation tip by the inner high hardness layer. Can do. Therefore, in the excavation bit of the present invention in which such excavation tip is attached to the tip, it is possible to extend its life, and it is not necessary to replace the excavation tip in the middle of excavating a large number of excavation holes, It becomes possible to promote the efficiency of excavation work.

In addition, by arranging a plurality of high hardness layers and low hardness layers alternately on the hard layer from the surface side of the hard layer toward the chip body side, an inner high hardness layer is provided. On the other hand, the stress can be relieved by the low hardness layer which is disposed further inside and has a lower hardness and higher toughness than the high hardness layer. Furthermore, if three or more high-hardness layers are alternately arranged with low-hardness layers, the life of the excavation tip can be extended according to the number of high-hardness layers.

Here, it is desirable that the thickness of the high hardness layer be in a range of 1/2 or more of the thickness of the low hardness layer and not more than the thickness of the low hardness layer. By setting the thickness of the high hardness layer to ½ or more of the thickness of the low hardness layer, the thickness of the low hardness layer can be relatively more than twice that of the high hardness layer. The excavation length and time until wear reaches the inner high hardness layer when a defect or the like occurs in the layer can be secured. However, if the thickness of the high hardness layer is larger than the thickness of the low hardness layer, the stress of the high hardness layer may not be sufficiently relaxed.

Further, specifically, the thickness of each of the high hardness layer and the thickness of the low hardness layer is preferably 150 μm or more at the thinnest part and 800 μm or less at the thickest part. When the thickness of the thinnest part of both the high hardness layer and the low hardness layer is less than 150 μm, it is difficult to form the layer uniformly and there is a possibility that sufficient wear resistance cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the thickness of the thickest part exceeds 800 μm, when the outer high hardness layer is lost in this part and the inner low hardness layer is worn away, the surface of the hard layer is greatly peeled off and excavated. There is a possibility that the shape of the tip of the tip becomes distorted and the desired excavation performance cannot be obtained.

As described above, the high hardness layer is a polycrystalline diamond sintered body obtained by adding a metal binder (metal catalyst) such as Co to diamond particles and sintering, and the low hardness layer is the content of diamond particles. It is good also as a layer which consists of a diamond sintered compact to which particle | grains, such as reducing a metal carbide and metal nitride, were added. Further, the high hardness layer and the low hardness layer are both formed as a diamond sintered body layer which is sintered by containing diamond particles, a metal binder, and additive particles such as metal carbide, metal nitride and metal carbonitride. In addition, the hardness may be lowered by adjusting the content and particle size of diamond particles, the content, type and composition ratio of additive particles such as metal binder and metal carbide in the low hardness layer.

Further, by adjusting the hardness in this way, the hardness is lower than the high hardness layer between the high hardness layer and the low hardness layer from the surface side of the hard layer toward the chip body side. You may make it arrange | position the intermediate | middle layer whose hardness is higher than the said low hardness layer. By providing such an intermediate layer, while maintaining stress relaxation of the high hardness layer on the outer layer side, it is possible to ensure excavation performance until wear reaches the low hardness layer even when a defect or the like occurs in the high hardness layer. it can.

As described above, according to the present invention, the excavation tip hits an extremely hard cemented rock in the rock suddenly during excavation, resulting in defects and chipping in the high hardness layer of the hard outer layer, and from the exposed portion. Even if wear progresses to the inner low hardness layer, it can prevent the wear from reaching the tip body at a stretch and maintain drilling performance, extending the life of the drill bit and achieving efficient drilling work it can.

It is sectional drawing which shows one Embodiment of the excavation tip of this invention. It is sectional drawing which shows one Embodiment of the excavation bit of this invention which attached the excavation tip of embodiment shown in FIG. 1 to the front-end | tip part.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of a drilling tip 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of the excavation bit of the present invention to which the excavation tip 1 of this embodiment is attached. The excavation tip 1 of the present embodiment includes a tip body 2 made of a hard material such as cemented carbide and a diamond harder than the tip body 2 covered by the tip portion (upper portion in FIG. 1) of the tip body 2. And a hard layer 3 made of a sintered body.

The chip body 2 has a rear end portion (lower portion in FIG. 1) formed in a columnar shape centered on the chip center line C, and the tip portion has a radius equal to the radius of the column formed by the rear end portion. A hemisphere having a center on the center line C is formed so that the outer diameter from the chip center line C gradually decreases toward the tip side. That is, the excavation tip 1 of this embodiment is a button tip.

The excavation bit to which the excavation tip 1 is attached is provided with a bit body 11 formed of a steel material or the like and having a substantially bottomed cylindrical shape centering on an axis O as shown in FIG. The bottom part is a tip part (upper part in FIG. 2) and the excavation tip 1 is attached.
Also, a female threaded portion 12 is formed on the inner periphery of the cylindrical rear end (the lower portion in FIG. 2), and a drilling rod connected to the excavator is screwed into the female threaded portion 12 so as to be in the direction of the axis O. The striking force and thrust toward the tip side and the rotational force around the axis O are transmitted. Thereby, the rock is crushed by the excavation tip 1 to form an excavation hole.

The front end portion of the bit body 11 has a slightly larger outer diameter than the rear end portion, and a plurality of discharge grooves 13 extending in parallel with the axis O are formed on the outer periphery of the front end portion at intervals in the circumferential direction. Then, the crushed debris generated by crushing the rock by the excavation tip 1 is discharged to the rear end side through the discharge groove 13. A blow hole 14 is formed along the axis O from the bottom surface of the female screw portion 12 of the bottomed bit body 11. This blow hole 14 branches obliquely at the tip of the bit body 11 and opens at the tip surface of the bit body 11, and ejects fluid such as compressed air supplied through the excavation rod to discharge crushed debris. Facilitate.

Furthermore, the front end surface of the bit body 11 has a circular face surface 15 centering on an axis O perpendicular to the inner peripheral axis O, and a rear end side located on the outer periphery of the face surface 15 toward the outer periphery. And a frustoconical gauge surface 16 facing toward the surface. The blow hole 14 opens to the face surface 15, and the tip of the discharge groove 13 opens to the gauge surface 16.

A plurality of mounting holes 17 having a circular cross section are formed in the face surface 15 and the gauge surface 16 so as to avoid the openings of the blow holes 14 and the discharge grooves 13, respectively. The excavation tip 1 is fixed by fastening its cylindrical rear end portion into these mounting holes 17 by press-fitting, shrink fitting, or brazing, and the tip center line C is fixed to the face surface 15. It is attached so as to be perpendicular to the gauge surface 16.

In the excavation tip 1 attached to the tip portion of the excavation bit in this way, the hard layer 3 covered at the tip portion is at least two layers from the surface side of the hard layer 3 toward the tip body 2 side. The high hardness layer 4 and a low hardness layer 5 having a lower hardness than the high hardness layer 4 disposed between the high hardness layers 4. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the low hardness layer 5 is also disposed between the high hardness layer 4 on the chip body 2 side and the chip body 2, and each of the multiple layers of the high hardness layer 4 and the low hardness layer 4. The hardness layers 5 are alternately arranged in this order from the surface of the hard layer 3 toward the surface of the chip body 2.

Of these, the high hardness layer 4 is a polycrystalline diamond sintered body that is sintered by simply adding a metal binder (metal catalyst) such as Co, Ni, or Fe—Ni alloy to the diamond particles. On the other hand, the low hardness layer 5 reduces the content of diamond particles relative to the high hardness layer 4, and also includes metal carbide particles such as WC, TaC and TiC, metal nitride particles such as TiN and cBN, or TiCN. A sintered carbon layer is obtained by adding metal carbonitride particles and the above-described metal binder and sintering. Thereby, the hardness of the low hardness layer 5 can be made lower than that of the high hardness layer 4. In this case, the high hardness layer 4 has a Vickers hardness of about 2500 to 4000, and the low hardness layer 5 has a Vickers hardness of about 1500 to 2500.

Furthermore, both the high hardness layer 4 and the low hardness layer 5 were sintered by containing diamond particles and additive particles such as metal binder and metal carbide, metal nitride, metal carbonitride as described above. It may be a sintered body layer. Among these, in the low hardness layer 5, the high hardness layer can be obtained by reducing the content and particle size of diamond particles, or adjusting the content, type and composition ratio of additive particles such as metal carbides. The hardness can be made lower than 4. The excavation tip 1 in which the hard layer 3 is coated on the tip end of the tip body 2 is basically sintered in the diamond stable region, and is known as described in Patent Documents 1 to 5, for example. This is possible by the sintering method.

In the excavation tip 1 having such a configuration and the excavation bit in which the excavation tip 1 is attached to the tip portion, the tip main body 2 when the excavation tip 1 suddenly hits an extremely hard hard rock or the like in the rock during excavation. Of the hard layer 3 covered at least at the tip of the first hard layer 4 which is the outermost layer, defects and chipping occur, and the inside of the hard layer 3 is exposed. As a result, the inner low-hardness layer 5 is worn, but since the second high-hardness layer 4 having a higher hardness than the low-hardness layer 5 is disposed further inside the low-hardness layer 5, the wear is reduced. The rapid progress until reaching the chip body 2 can be suppressed by the second high hardness layer 4.

Therefore, even after the low hardness layer 5 between the first and second high hardness layers 4 is worn by the progress of wear, excavation is performed by the second high hardness layer 4 on the chip body 2 side of the hard layer 3, that is, the inner side. Since it can continue, excavation performance can be maintained. For this reason, according to the excavation bit having such an excavation tip 1 attached to the tip portion, the life of the excavation bit can be extended, and even when several dozens of excavation holes of several meters are formed on the entire rock surface. This eliminates the need for exchanging excavation bits in the middle of the course, and enables efficient excavation work.

In addition, since the low hardness layer 5 having a high toughness is interposed between the first and second high hardness layers 4, the hardness is lower than those of the high hardness layers 4. Even in the case of a polycrystalline diamond sintered body that is sintered by adding only a metal binder to diamond particles, the residual stress generated in the high hardness layer 4 can be relaxed. In addition, in the present embodiment, the high hardness layer 4 and the low hardness layer 5 are alternately arranged in plural layers (two layers) from the surface side of the hard layer 3 toward the chip body 2 side. Therefore, the stress of the inner second high hardness layer 4 can be relaxed by the inner layer, that is, the low hardness layer 5 interposed between the second high hardness layer 4 and the chip body 2.

In the present embodiment, two high hardness layers 4 and two low hardness layers 5 are alternately arranged from the surface side of the hard layer 3 toward the chip body 2 side. 3, at least two high-hardness layers 4 and one low-hardness layer 5 disposed therebetween need only be provided. That is, the second high hardness layer 4 closest to the chip body 2 may be coated directly on the tip portion surface of the chip body 2. Three or more high-hardness layers 4 may be alternately arranged with the low-hardness layers 5 interposed therebetween. For example, an even number layer in which the same number of high-hardness layers 4 and low-hardness layers 5 are alternately laminated. The hard layer 3 may be an odd-numbered hard layer 3 in which the outermost layer and the innermost layer are the high-hardness layer 4 and the low-hardness layer 5 is disposed between the high-hardness layers 4. In the hard layer 3, two to six high hardness layers 4 and low hardness layers 5 may be alternately arranged from the surface side of the hard layer 3 toward the chip body 2 side. The total number of layers of the high hardness layer and the low hardness layer may be 4 or more and 12 or less.

Further, an intermediate layer having a hardness lower than that of the high hardness layer 4 and higher than that of the low hardness layer 5 is disposed between the high hardness layer 4 and the low hardness layer 5 from the surface side of the hard layer 3 toward the chip body 2 side. You may make it do. For example, when the high hardness layer 4 is a polycrystalline diamond sintered body layer obtained by adding only a metal binder to diamond particles and sintered, the inclusion of diamond particles between the high hardness layer 4 and the low hardness layer 5 An intermediate layer having a hardness higher than that of the low-hardness layer 5 and lower than that of the high-hardness layer 4 by adjusting the amount, particle size, content of additive particles such as metal binder and metal carbide, type, composition ratio, etc. It may be arranged.

Such an intermediate layer has low hardness and high toughness with respect to the high hardness layer 4 on the outer layer side, so that the stress of the high hardness layer 4 can be relieved to some extent. On the other hand, since the hardness is high for the low hardness layer 5 on the inner layer side, it is possible to maintain the excavation performance until wear reaches the low hardness layer 5 when the high hardness layer 4 is chipped or chipped. As a result, the life of the excavation tip 1 can be extended. The intermediate layer itself may also be formed of a plurality of layers whose hardness decreases sequentially from the surface side of the hard layer 3 to the chip body 2 side, that is, from the outer layer side to the inner layer side.

Here, it is desirable that the thickness of each high hardness layer 4 be in the range of 1/2 or more of the thickness of the low hardness layer 5 and not more than the thickness of the low hardness layer 5. If the thickness of the high hardness layer 4 is not larger than the thickness of the low hardness layer 5, the low hardness layer 5 is sufficient to relieve the stress of the high hardness layer 4. If the thickness of the high hardness layer 4 is ½ or more of the thickness of the low hardness layer 5, the thickness of the low hardness layer 5 is relatively more than twice the thickness of the high hardness layer 4. Therefore, the stress relaxation of the high hardness layer 4 can be achieved more reliably. Further, as the thickness of the low hardness layer 5 is secured in this way, the high hardness layer 4 inside the low hardness layer 5 is formed by the low hardness layer 5 which is harder than the chip body 2 even at a low altitude. In addition, it is possible to ensure a long excavation length and time until the tip body 2 reaches wear.

More specifically, the thickness of each high hardness layer 4 and the thickness of the low hardness layer 5 are preferably 150 μm or more at the thinnest portion and 800 μm or less at the thickest portion. In each of the high hardness layer 4 and the low hardness layer 5, when the thickness of the thinnest part is less than 150 μm, the high hardness layer 4 and the low hardness layer 5 are sintered layers containing diamond particles as described above. In this case, it is difficult to make the thickness uniform, and there is a possibility that sufficient wear resistance cannot be obtained. When the thickness of the thickest portion exceeds 800 μm, when the high hardness layer 4 is lost and the low hardness layer 5 is worn out at the thickest portion, the surface of the hard layer 3 is largely peeled off, The shape of the tip may be distorted and the desired excavation performance may not be obtained. The same applies to the intermediate layer.

The overall thickness of the hard layer 3 is preferably in the range of 450 μm to 2500 μm. If the thickness of the entire hard layer 3 is less than 450 μm, even if the hard layer 3 is formed by the two high-hardness layers 4 and the one low-hardness layer 5 having the smallest number of layers, As described above, the layer with the thinnest portion having a thickness of less than 150 μm is formed in the layer, and the absolute hard layer 3 is too thin to be worn away, thereby forming a drilling hole having a necessary drilling length. There is a risk that it will not be possible. On the other hand, when the thickness of the hard layer 3 exceeds 2500 μm, if the high hardness layer 4 and the low hardness layer 5 are diamond sintered body layers, even if the stress is relaxed by the low hardness layer 5, There is a possibility that the entire excavation tip 1 is easily cracked.

In the excavation tip 1 of the present embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to the button type excavation tip in which the tip portion of the tip body 2 forms a hemisphere as described above has been described. The so-called ballistic type drilling tip and the rear end side of the tip portion are conical and reduce in diameter toward the tip side, and the tip is smaller than the cylindrical rear end portion of the tip body It is also possible to apply the present invention to a so-called spike type excavation tip having a spherical shape with a radius.

Next, the effects of the excavation tip and excavation bit of the present invention will be demonstrated with examples. In this example, five types of button-type drilling tips having a hemispherical diameter of 11 mm formed by the tip were manufactured. The cutting tip has a particle size and volume content of diamond particles and additive particles such as metal carbide in the high hardness layer and the low hardness layer of the hard layer (and the intermediate layer in Example 3), the composition of the metal binder, and The coating was performed by changing the addition ratio, the number of layers, and the thickness of each layer. These were designated as Examples 1 to 5.

The thus manufactured excavation tips (button tips) of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were attached to a total of seven excavation bits having a bit diameter of 45 mm on the gauge surface and two on the face surface. Using these, drilling work to drill a 4m drilling hole in a copper mine with an average uniaxial compressive strength of 180MPa including hard rock and super hard rock, and the total drilling length (m ) And the wear form of the excavation tip at the end of excavation was confirmed. Excavation conditions were as follows: the excavator was model number H205D manufactured by TAMROCK, the striking pressure was 160 bar, the feed pressure was 80 bar, and the rotational pressure was 55 bar. Water was supplied from the blow hole and the water pressure was 18 bar. The results are shown in Table 1.

As a result, in the excavation bit to which the excavation tip of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 was attached, even in Comparative Example 1 with the longest excavation length, some chipping occurred on the excavation tip in addition to normal wear, and the excavation tips of Examples 1 to 5 The life span has been reached with a drilling length of about half that of a drilling bit fitted with a. In particular, in Comparative Example 2 with one hard layer, the life was reached when 10 holes were excavated by delamination, and a sufficient number of excavation holes could not be formed on one surface of the rock with one excavation bit.

On the other hand, in the excavation bit to which the excavation tips of Examples 1 to 5 are attached, approximately 60 excavation holes can be formed even in Example 3 with the shortest total excavation length, and more than a dozen places on one surface of the rock mass. In the case of forming the excavation hole, efficient excavation was possible without replacing excavation bits with respect to approximately three surfaces. Particularly, in Example 2 where the number of high hardness layers is large, 100 or more excavation holes can be formed, and extremely efficient excavation work was possible.

The same composition of the high hardness layer and the low hardness layer as in Example 1, the thickness of the high hardness layer is 1000 μm, the thickness of the low hardness layer is 200 μm, and the high hardness layer and the low hardness layer are alternately two layers. When trying to manufacture a drilling tip having a laminated hard layer, the thickness of the high hardness layer exceeds 800 μm, the residual stress of the high hardness layer in the hard layer is high, and there are interlayer cracks in the high hardness layer during sintering. It was generated and could not be manufactured.

As described above, according to the present invention, the excavation tip hits an extremely hard hard rock in the rock suddenly during excavation to cause a defect or chipping in the high hardness layer of the hard outer layer, and from the exposed portion to the inner side. Even if wear progresses to the low hardness layer, it is possible to maintain the drilling performance by preventing the wear from reaching the tip body at a stretch, and it is possible to extend the life of the drill bit and perform efficient drilling work Become.
