PDC Cutter Manufacture
A PDC Cutter is made by the fusion of micro-sized
synthetic diamond particles (diamond grit) at 1 million PSI
pressure and 2500F onto a tungsten carbide substrate
Tungsten Carbide
Diamond
1Mpsi
1500C
In order to improve relative toughness, we need to
understand the stress regime than exists in a PDC cutter

INTERFACE
Interfacial Stress
Diamond Layer
Planar Interface
Carbide
Substrate
Planar Interface PDC
High tensile stresses at
material interface
Lower compressive
stresses further from
interface with thick
diamond table. Lower
Impact strength.
In summary, making the diamond table thicker gives the cutter a
higher volume of diamond; however, that diamond itself will tend to
be less tough because it has a lower compressive stress to toughen
it.
High compressive
stresses in diamond
toughens the diamond
If larger diamond grit is used to address this problem, the cutters
abrasion resistance will be reduced.
Non Planar Interface Cutters
NPI reduces the stresses at the interface
between the tungsten carbide &
polycrystalline diamond
Non Planar Interface (NPI)

Delocalise interfacial stresses
Reduces peak stresses

Step towards TRC
Non Planar Interface
FEA, lab and field tests show Iris NPI reduces
the stresses between the carbide and PDC
Thus enhances impact resistance

TReX Advantages
Drill formations that were not previously
PDC drillable
40% more life & ROP changes drilling
economics
Fewer trips
Reduced drilling costs
What is Raptor?
Takes TReX
technology &
extends it around the
complete outer edge
of polycrystalline
diamond
The polycrystalline
diamond is wrapped
(Rapt) with TReX
thermostable material
Premium polycrystalline
diamond
How does it work?
.... two lips of ultra-wear
resistant material are
formed
More thermostable PDC
Wears much more
slowly.
When the thermostable
layer eventually
wears.
