Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Chemical methods, optionally in combination with physical methods, may be used to increase the strength of the bond formed by a braze material between a polycrystalline material and a hard composite. Such polycrystalline materials brazed to hard composites may be found in various wellbore tools include drill bit cutters. An exemplary method may include forming a bonding layer on a bonding surface of a polycrystalline material body that comprises a hard material, the bonding surface opposing a contact surface of the polycrystalline material body, and the bonding layer substantially formed by a [111] crystal structure of the hard material, a [100] crystal structure of the hard material, or a combination thereof; and brazing the bonding layer to a hard composite using a braze material.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A drill bit cutter comprising: a polycrystalline material body having a bonding surface opposing a contact surface; a bonding layer disposed on the bonding surface, the bonding layer substantially formed by a [111] crystal structure, a [100] crystal structure, or a combination thereof; and a hard composite bound to the bonding layer opposite the polycrystalline material body with a braze material. 2 . The drill bit cutter of claim 1 , wherein the bonding layer has a thickness of 10 microns to 250 microns at the bonding surface. 3 . The drill bit cutter of claim 1 , wherein the hard material is diamond. 4 . The drill bit cutter of claim 1 , wherein the hard material is cubic boron nitride. 5 . The drill bit cutter of claim 1 , wherein the hard material is silicon carbide.
