Abstract. The cutting mechanical properties of impregnated diamond bit depend on the performance of its cutting elements. Aiming at the factors affecting the
cutting element performance of impregnated diamond bit, the laboratory rock breaking experiment of impregnated micro bit is carried out. The results
show that the breaking work ratio and unit wear first decrease and then increase with the increase of diamond particle size and concentration when
drilling sandstone; the rock breaking efficiency and wear resistance are the highest when the concentration is 125 %. The breaking work ratio
first decreases and then increases with the increase of diamond particle size when drilling limestone; the rock cutting efficiency is the highest
when the concentration is 100 %. With the increase of diamond particle size, the breaking work ratio increases and the unit wear decreases when
drilling granite; the rock cutting efficiency and wear resistance are the highest when the concentration is 150 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
