Casting Method For Matrix Drill Bits And Reamers

US Patent:

8079402, Dec 20, 2011
Filed:

May 10, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/104790
Inventors:

Michael R. Reese - Houston TX, US
Gilles Gallego - Ibos, FR
Scott Buteaud - Spring TX, US
Alan K. Harrell - New Waverly TX, US
Steven W. Drews - Cypress TX, US
Assignee:

Varel Europe S.A.S. - Pau
International Classification:

B22D 19/00
B22D 19/02
B22C 9/00
US Classification:

164332, 164334, 164349
Abstract:

An apparatus and method for manufacturing a down hole tool that reduces manufacturing costs and enhances the tool's performance. A belted mold assembly includes a casting assembly, a belt assembly, and a mid-belt. The belted mold assembly is used to fabricate a casting that allows for a larger diameter blank to be used which displaces the more expensive casting material and for using a smaller outer diameter thin-walled mold. The casting assembly is disposed within the belt assembly and the mid-belt is loaded in the volume created between the casting assembly's outer surface and the belt assembly's inner surface. The mid-belt provides a bracing for the casting assembly during the casting process. Optionally, a cap can be disposed on top of the blank for preventing metallurgical bonds from forming between the binder material and the upper portion of the blank. This allows for the excess binder material to remain high in purity so that it can be reprocessed.
