Increasing the durability of drill bit teeth by changing its manufacturing technology

OBRABOTKAMETALLOV MATERIAL SCIENCE Том 23 № 3 2021 EQUIPMEN . INSTRUM TS Vol. 6 No. 4 2024 Fig. 8. Tungsten trioxide powder crystals; results of elemental analysis of tungsten trioxide powder Fig. 9. Micrograph of pure tungsten metal powder obtained from pure tungsten trioxide of 12.0–20.0 μm. The process of obtaining the hard alloy consisted of grinding a mixture of metallic tungsten and graphite powders in a mill with alcohol, evaporating the pulp, sifting, mixing with a plasticizer, pressing the teeth, drying and hydrogen sintering. For pressing the teeth, special hard alloy punches, made of the VK20 (80 % W, 20 % Co) alloy, were fabricated to increase the pressing pressure to achieve its high density, uniformity, strength and wear resistance.
