    Fixed cutter drill bits come in various types including PDC and TSP bits. [PDC bits have a PCD table bonded to a tungsten carbide substrate, while TSP bits can withstand extreme temperatures.] Bit profile, gauge length, cone depth, and matrix material can be varied to control steerability and rate of penetration. [Deeper cones and longer profiles allow for faster drilling but reduce steerability.]

    PDC Diamond

    Natural Impregnated
    TSP
    Diamond Diamond
    • PDC or Polycrystalline Diamond compact is
    made of PCD (Polycrystalline diamond) table
    bonded to a cylindrical or post/stud type
    tungsten carbide substrate.
    • Currently market available size 8 to 22 mm
    • Smaller diameter [ less aggressive, less
    torque, more steerable ]
    • Larger diameter [ durable, more aggressive]
    • TSP are manufactured in similar fashion but
    have more tolerance to extreme temperature.
    Bit Profile

    Cone depth

    Longer gauge, deep cone [ faster ROP]


    Shorter gauge, shallow cone [ better steerability]
    • Short profile (shallow/deep)
    • Medium Profile (shallow/deep) Profile length = Bit diameter/ Profile height
    • Long Profile (shallow/deep)
    • Ballistic Profile (shallow/deep)
    • Shallower Cone [ better steerability ] Gauge Protection
    • Deeper Cone [ Faster ROP ] • Nature of PDC bit wears more on the gauge area.
    • Will leave an under gauge hole [ require reaming from next bit]

    Harder Formation
    Hole size shrinking
    Fishtail – Long – Medium – Short

    Faster ROP
    Bit Body

    Matrix
    Steel
    - Machined from a homogeneous block of steel. - Made of composite alloy.

    Advantages Disadvantages
    Advantages Disadvantages
    -can withstand impact loading. -very hard, resistance to scratches and erosion -low resistance to impact loading.

    -complex bit profiles. -erosion, abrasion -resistance to abrasion -matrix construction only for diamond

    impregnated bit.
