💎 Product Description

PDC non-planar face cutter / PDC ridged cutter (1313, 1613, 1616) constitute the basic cutting unit of PDC bits, and their performance is crucial to the drilling effect of PDC bits. Continuous research and development have led to the ridged diamond cutting element, a unique geometry that combines the shearing action of conventional PDC cutters with the compression of tungsten carbide inserts (TCI).

🚀 Key Advantages

1. Increased cutting efficiency for instant ROP improvement:

Achieves at least 22% deeper penetration. The ridge-shaped geometry yields a diamond table 70% thicker than conventional cutters, providing higher frontal impact resistance and improved durability.

2. Enhanced control in directional applications:

Reduced cutting force leads to less overall torque and reduced reactive torque fluctuation. This enables better toolface control, higher build rates, and minimized drilling time.

⚙️ How PDC Cutters Are Made

PDC Cutters are manufactured from a tungsten carbide substrate and synthetic diamond grit. This process utilizes a combination of high temperature and high pressure with a cobalt alloy catalyst. During cooling, the tungsten carbide shrinks 2.5 times faster than the diamond, creating a powerful bond that forms the finished PDC Cutter.

🛠️ Characteristics & Applications

Combining the advantages of diamond and tungsten carbide, these cutters feature high abrasion resistance, high impact resistance, and high thermal stability. They are widely applied in:

Oilfield and Natural Gas drilling
Geological exploration and Mining (Coal, etc.)
Geothermal energy drilling
Water well drilling
Diamond DTH bits and picks

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are PDC cutters made of? A1: PDC cutters are made from a combination of high-quality synthetic diamond grit and a tungsten carbide substrate, bonded under high temperature and high pressure.

Q2: What is the advantage of the "ridged" design? A2: The ridged design combines shearing and crushing actions, offering 22% deeper penetration and a 70% thicker diamond table for better impact resistance.

Q3: What industries use PDC cutters? A3: They are widely used in oil and natural gas drilling, coal mining, geothermal energy exploration, and water well drilling.

Q4: How does the manufacturing process ensure durability? A4: The sintering process uses cobalt alloy as a catalyst. The different shrinkage rates between tungsten carbide and diamond during cooling create a solid, durable bond.

Q5: What shapes of PDC buttons are available? A5: We offer various types including flat top PDC buttons, spherical top buttons, and spoon-shaped drill bit inserts.

Q6: What is the production capacity for these cutters? A6: The factory has a production capacity of approximately 50,000 pieces per month.
