Diamond & Tungsten Carbide Tools
Diamond and tungsten carbide tools are cutting components designed to penetrate a wide range of geological formations during mineral exploration, mining, and geotechnical drilling operations.
Role in the Drilling Operation
Diamond and tungsten carbide tools are responsible for cutting and breaking rock formations at the drilling face. Installed at the bottom of the drilling assembly, these tools directly interact with the ground and determine penetration rate, tool life, and overall drilling efficiency. Proper tool selection is essential for optimizing performance across different ground conditions.
Product Description
Spenta Engineers manufactures a range of diamond and tungsten carbide tools engineered for reliable cutting performance and long service life. Designed to operate with standard core drilling systems and drilling rigs, these tools provide consistent performance in soft, medium, and hard rock formations.
Types of Tools
- Diamond Tools: Used for hard, abrasive, and consolidated formations. Diamond tools provide high wear resistance and maintain cutting efficiency over extended drilling cycles.
- Tungsten Carbide Tools: Suitable for soft to medium formations. Tungsten carbide tools offer impact resistance and cost-effective performance in less abrasive ground conditions.
Sizes and Manufacturing
Diamond and tungsten carbide tools are manufactured in standard sizes to match core drilling systems including AQ, BQ, NQ, HQ, and PQ. Tools are produced using high-quality raw materials, precision machining, and controlled manufacturing processes to ensure dimensional accuracy and durability.
