Abstract

See full text

An enlarged diamond table for use as a cutter in rotating drill bits is provided by disposing a plurality of thermally stable or leached polycrystalline diamond (PCD) rod-like elements within a matrix body. In one embodiment the matrix body is impregnated with diamond grit and completely fills the interstitial spaces between the plurality of PCD elements. Generally, the PCD elements have their longitudinal axes arranged in a mutually parallel configuration. The bundle of rod-like diamond elements are in one embodiment in a compact touching array and in another embodiment in a spaced-apart array. In the illustrated embodiment, a bundle of rod-like diamond elements are disposed so that their end surfaces are exposed on the cutting face of the cutting slug. The slug is then in turn mounted on a stud or directly infiltrated into a matrix body bit.
