Application of Cemented Carbide Button in Petroleum Drilling Field

Cemented carbide buttons play a crucial role in the challenging and technically demanding field of oil drilling.

Cemented carbide buttons are commonly used in drilling rods and drill bits in oilfield drilling equipment. During the drilling process, the drill bit needs to continuously break rocks and cut formations to open up pathways to underground oil and gas resources. Cemented carbide buttons with their excellent performance, have become a key component of drill bits.

Firstly, Cemented carbide buttons have extremely high hardness and can easily handle various hard rock layers, such as granite, quartzite, etc. Whether it is a conventional formation or a complex and difficult to drill geological structure, it can maintain good cutting ability and effectively improve drilling speed. Compared to other materials of gear, the wear resistance of Cemented carbide button is outstanding. In long-term drilling operations, they can withstand huge friction and wear, reducing the need for frequent replacement of drill bit components and lowering drilling costs and operation time. At the same time, tungsten carbide buttons also have good impact resistance. During the drilling process, the drill bit will encounter various sudden impact forces, such as rock inhomogeneity and drill pipe vibration. Tungsten carbide button can withstand these impacts without being easily damaged, ensuring the stability and continuity of drilling operations.  

 In addition, as oil drilling advances into deeper and more complex formations, the performance requirements for tungsten carbide button are constantly increasing. The R&D personnel continuously optimize the alloy composition and production process to improve the hardness, wear resistance, and impact resistance of the button, making them better adapted to extreme drilling environments. For example, in the drilling of some ultra deep oil wells, high-performance carbide button can maintain stable working performance under high temperature and high pressure conditions, providing strong guarantees for the smooth exploitation of deep oil and gas resources.
