Abstract

The disclosure relates to a polycrystalline diamond compact including a cemented carbide substrate and a diamond layer, with the diamond layer disposed at the top face of cemented carbide substrate, there are at least two continuous varying cambered convex ridges at the end face of the diamond layer, each cambered convex ridge extending from the edge of the end face to the center of end face, with the width of each continuous varying cambered convex ridge increasing gradually from the edge of the end face to the center of the end face. Both ploughing effect and the fracture drilling property of the PDC cutting face with each continuous varying cambered convex ridge are improved, the cutting resistance during drilling is reduced and thus the rate of penetration of the PDC bit is increased. A drilling bit with the polycrystalline diamond compact disposed at the end thereof is provided in the disclosure.

Claims (16)

1. A polycrystalline diamond compact, comprising a cemented carbide substrate and a diamond layer disposed at a top face of the cemented carbide substrate, and there are at least two continuous varying cambered convex ridges at an end face of the diamond layer, each cambered convex ridge extending from an edge of the end face to the center of the end face, and a width of each cambered convex ridge increasing gradually from the edge of the end face to the center of the end face; and

wherein a curvature radius of each continuous varying cambered convex ridge increases gradually from the edge of the end face to the center of the end face and is in proportion to a distance from the edge of the end face.

2. The polycrystalline diamond compact of claim 1 , wherein a top face of the continuous varying cambered convex ridge is parallel to a bottom face of the cemented carbide substrate.

3. The polycrystalline diamond compact of claim 1 , wherein two flanks tilting downwards are disposed at both sides of the continuous varying cambered convex ridge.

4. The polycrystalline diamond compact of claim 3 , wherein an arc transitional surface is disposed between two flanks, which are located between two adjacent continuous varying cambered convex ridges.

5. The polycrystalline diamond compact of claim 3 , wherein the flanks are inclined planes and an angle between the inclined plane and a radial cross-section of the cemented carbide substrate is 5° to 20°.

6. The polycrystalline diamond compact of claim 5 , wherein the flanks are inclined planes and the angle between the inclined plane and the radial cross-section of cemented carbide substrate is 10° or 15°.

7. The polycrystalline diamond compact as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a number of the continuous varying cambered convex ridges is 2 to 10.

8. The polycrystalline diamond compact of claim 7 , wherein the number of continuous varying cambered convex ridges is 2 to 4.

9. The polycrystalline diamond compact as claimed claim 1 , wherein a curvature radius of the continuous varying cambered convex ridges at the edge of the end face is 0.5 mm to 4 mm.

10. The polycrystalline diamond compact of claim 9 , wherein the curvature radius of the continuous varying cambered convex ridges at the edge of the end face is 1 mm.

11. The polycrystalline diamond compact as claimed in claim 1 wherein the curvature radius of the continuous varying cambered convex ridge at the center of the end face is 4 mm to 12 mm.

12. The polycrystalline diamond compact of claim 11 , wherein the curvature radius of the continuous varying cambered convex ridge at the center of the end face is 6 mm.

13. The polycrystalline diamond compact as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the continuous varying cambered convex ridges are evenly distributed circumferentially on the end face.

14. The polycrystalline diamond compact as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a radial cross-section of the polycrystalline diamond compact is round or elliptical.

15. A drilling bit having the polycrystalline diamond compact as claimed in claim 1 disposed at the end thereof.
