Product Description

Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) Cutters are advanced super-hard materials consisting of a polycrystalline diamond layer bonded to a tungsten carbide substrate. These cutters are engineered for extreme durability and high performance in the most challenging drilling environments.

Manufacturing Process: PDC cutters are produced using synthetic diamond grit and tungsten carbide. Through a combination of high temperature and high pressure (HTHP) with a cobalt alloy catalyst, the diamond and carbide are sintered together. During cooling, the tungsten carbide shrinks 2.5 times faster than the diamond, creating a powerful mechanical bond.

Characteristics & Applications

By combining the hardness of diamond with the impact resistance of tungsten carbide, PDC cutters offer:

Superior abrasion resistance for long-lasting use.
High impact resistance to withstand mechanical shock.
Excellent thermal stability during high-speed drilling.

Primary Application Fields:

Oil and Natural Gas Drilling
Geological Exploration & Coal Mining
Geothermal Energy Well Drilling
Water Well Drilling

Steel & Matrix PDC Drill Bits
Tri-cone PDC Bits
Diamond DTH Bits
Diamond Picks and Milling Tools

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the main advantage of using PDC cutters over traditional materials?

A: PDC cutters combine the extreme hardness of diamond with the toughness of tungsten carbide, offering significantly higher abrasion resistance and faster penetration rates compared to traditional tungsten carbide inserts.

Q: Can PDC cutters handle hard rock formations?

A: Yes, different grades and shapes (like sharp-edged or conical) are specifically designed to handle various rock formations, from soft coal to hard granite, depending on the specific application needs.

Q: What are the common diameter sizes for oil and gas drilling?

A: The most common sizes for oilfield applications are 19mm (1913, 1916), 16mm (1613, 1616), and 13mm (1308, 1313) cutters.

Q: How do you ensure the bond quality between the diamond and the carbide?

A: Quality is ensured through the HTHP sintering process using a cobalt catalyst, which creates a chemical and mechanical bond capable of withstanding high thermal and impact stress.

Q: Are custom sizes or shapes available?

A: We offer a wide range of standard shapes including flat, sharp-edged, cambered, and spherical. Custom specifications can typically be accommodated based on monthly production capacity.

Q: How are the cutters packaged for international shipping?

A: Cutters are packed in secure plastic boxes, typically 50 pieces per box, and protected with shock-absorbing materials to prevent any damage to the diamond edges.
