OVERVIEW OF MODERN DIAMOND ROCK-BREAKING TOOLS FOR DRILLING HARD ROCKS
Abstract
This thesis provides an overview of modern diamond rock-breaking tools used for drilling hard rocks in industries such as mining. It explores the types of diamond drill bits, including impregnated, surface-set, and polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) tools, and examines their performance, advantages, and limitations. The study highlights recent advancements in tool design, coatings, and cooling mechanisms, as well as challenges related to wear resistance and efficiency. The thesis aims to offer insights into optimizing diamond tool selection and performance for hard rock drilling applications.
