Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutters, as a major cutting tool, have been widely applied in oil and gas drilling processes. The understanding of the complex interactions at the rock and cutter interfaces is essential for the advancement of future drilling technologies; yet, these interactions are still not fully understood. Linear cutting of rock, among all the testing methods, avoids the geometric and process complexities and offers the most straightforward way to reveal the intrinsic mechanisms of rock cutting. Therefore, this paper presents an experimental study of the cutter’s cutting performance and the rock’s failure behaviors on a newly developed linear rock cutting facility. A series of rock cutting tests were designed and performed. The acquired experimental data was analyzed to investigate the influences of process parameters and the rock’s mechanical properties on chip formation and force responses.

Rock breaking is a complex physical process that can be influenced by various factors, such as geometrical shape and cutting angle of rock breaking tools. Experimental study of the rock breaking mechanism of personalized bits is restricted due to long cycle and high cost. This study simulated the rock breaking mechanism of polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit by combining finite element method and experiment. The simulation was performed to shorten the period and reduce the cost of studying the rock breaking mechanism of PDC bits. A rock breaking finite element model for sting cutters of personalized PDC bit was established to simulate the rock breaking process. The crack propagation pattern, dynamic stress of rock breaking, and rock breaking mechanism of sting cutters of personalized PDC bit were analyzed. The correctness of the simulation results was verified through experiments. Results demonstrate that the rock breaking load increases with the crack propagation in the fracture initiation and propagation stages, with the maximum tangential force of 1062.5 N and maximum axial force of 1850.0 N. The load changes in a small range when the crack penetrates the rock, with the tangential force of 125.0–500.0 N and axial force of 375.0–875.0 N. The rock breaking mechanism of the sting cutters of bit is consistent with maximum tensile stress theory. The rock begins to break when the tensile stress of rock is 36.9 MPa. The sting cutters of personalized PDC bit have better wear resistance than the sting cutters of conventional bit. The average wear rates of personalized PDC and conventional bits are 1.74E-4 and 2.1E-4 mm/m, respectively. This study serves as reference for shortening the study period of rock breaking mechanism, efficiently designing personalized PDC bit structure, reducing bit wear, and enhancing rock breaking efficiency.

The electrical and physical properties of the electrically conductive super hard material on the basis of polycrystalline diamond and n-layered graphenes obtained at high pressures and temperatures were studied. It was established that the increase in graphene in a polycrystalline diamond compact leads to a sharp decrease in resistance. Wherein the hardness of the samples is slightly inferior to the hardness of diamond poly crystals obtained without the use of graphene.

Polycrystalline Diamond Compact

For improving the drilling efficiency of polycrystalline diamond compact drill bit, a novel polycrystalline diamond compact drill bit is presented with a new rock-breaking method named as cross-scraping. In the novel polycrystalline diamond compact drill bit which is referred to as a composite drill bit, polycrystalline diamond compact cutters are mounted on rotary wheels as major cutting elements, and as a result, mesh-like scraping tracks are formed in the outer radial area of the bottom-hole. Rock-breaking method of the composite drill bit causes both shearing and fracture failure of the bottom-hole rock, which will greatly increase the rock-breaking efficiency and will prolong the bit service life. By analyzing the complex motion of cutters on the composite drill bit, velocity and acceleration models of the cutters, as well as wheel/bit speed ratio model of the bit are established in accordance with the geometric relationship between cutters and bit body in a compound coordinate system. In simulation examples, motion tracks, velocity and acceleration features of the cutter and especially the bottom-hole pattern are analyzed. Further, indoor experiments are conducted to test the mesh-like bottom-hole pattern and rock-breaking features, which have proved the accuracy of the analysis model of the composite drill bit.
