Problems solved by technology

[0005] Since the diamond composite sheet is artificial polycrystalline diamond, its failure temperature is 700°C, and the base material of the diamond composite sheet is cemented carbide, which has a great difference in performance from the tungsten carbide matrix. The current oxygen-acetylene brazing, Overlay welding process and method, poor surface treatment or preheating and heat preservation effect in the early stage will easily lead to weak welding, and the phenomenon of "flaking off" of the diamond composite sheet will occur during normal use
At the same time, the control of soldering temperature also has a great influence on the soldering quality. If the soldering temperature is too high, it will easily cause the failure of the PDC chip; fall off

Abstract

The invention discloses a welding method for welding a polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) and a tungsten carbide matrix by using a silver solder. The welding method comprises the following steps of: a. forming a hole with an internal diameter size larger than an external diameter size of the PDC on the tungsten carbide matrix; b. before welding, cleaning the PDC and the welding surface of the tungsten carbide matrix by using anhydrous ethanol with the volume concentration of 99.7%; c. smearing a silver brazing flux on the welding surface of the tungsten carbide matrix, heating the tungsten carbide matrix to 640-680 DEG C; putting the PDC in a crucible and adding the silver brazing flux, and heating to 640-680 DEG C; and d. adding the silver solder and the silver brazing flux between the welding surface of the tungsten carbide matrix and a substrate of the treated PDC, and heating the silver solder by oxygen-acetylene flame. The method has the advantages that the process is simple, the welding quality is improved, the compact shedding phenomenon caused by instable welding is avoided, the life of a PDC bit is prolonged, and the overall performance is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention is used for the welding of polycrystalline diamond compact drill bits, and relates to a silver brazing welding process between polycrystalline diamond compact (referred to as PDC sheet) and tungsten carbide matrix, which belongs to the manufacturing process of PDC drill bits technology field. Background technique [0002] PDC (polycrystalline diamond composite) drill bits are commonly used in geological exploration and oil drilling industries to break formation rocks. At present, most of the welding between the diamond compact and the tungsten carbide matrix adopts oxygen-acetylene brazing or high-frequency induction brazing, and the solder and flux are directly placed between the cemented carbide and the tungsten carbide matrix welding surface, and then Use flame or high-frequency induction heating to melt the solder for welding. [0003] At the same time, the date of publication was October 31, 2003, and the publication title was "Jou...
