What are the differences bewteen core drilling bits and pdc drilling bits
Although both core drills and PDC drills are tools used for drilling and sampling, there are significant differences between them in terms of material, structure, and scope of application.
Core Drill
Definition: A core drill is a broad concept that refers to all drills used for coring operations. It can be a variety of types such as tungsten carbide bits, PDC bits, diamond bits and so on.
Function: Mainly used to remove a cylindrical section of core sample from different types of materials for subsequent analysis and research.
Material: Various materials, including carbide, diamond, PDC, etc. Different materials are selected according to the hardness and toughness of the drilling material.
Structure: Relatively simple structure, mainly consists of drill body, inner cylinder and outer cylinder.
Application: Wide range of applications, including geological exploration, engineering survey, mineral exploration, etc.
Definition: PDC drill bit is a special coring drill bit whose cutting edge consists of Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC).
Function: Specially designed for soft and medium-hard formations with high efficiency and long life, mainly used for coring and drilling.
Material: The PDC piece has extremely high hardness and wear resistance, suitable for drilling hard rock.
Structure: Relatively complex structure, PDC piece is embedded in the body of the drill bit to form a sharp cutting edge.
Application: Mainly used in oil drilling, geological exploration, mineral exploration and other fields.
Summarize
Core Drill Bit is a big category, and PDC drill bit is one kind of core drill bit.
PDC drill bit has higher efficiency and life time, and is suitable for harder formations.
When choosing a drill bit, you need to consider the hardness and toughness of the drilling material as well as the depth of the hole.
