Field Case Study: φ32 Two-wing PDC Anchor Bit

Stable performance after 38 meters of drilling in fractured limestone with hard quartz interlayers

Case Summary

  • Application: roof bolt and cable anchor hole drilling in a vertical mine shaft
  • Rock condition: fractured limestone with local hard quartz interlayers, hardness f=9
  • Result: 38 m total drilling footage with stable bit structure and controlled wear

2. Before & After Field Use

Before Use After Field Use
Before use: unused φ32 two-wing PDC anchor bit, showing the original cutting structure and wing profile. After field use: our product after 38m drilling in f=9 fractured limestone with hard quartz interlayers. The bit shows stable structure, controlled wear, and no obvious large-area structural failure.

3. Key Field Performance

  • Structure remained stable: After completing 38 m of drilling, the bit body and wing profile maintained good overall integrity.
  • Controlled wear in hard rock: The cutting support area and gauge area showed manageable wear under limestone and hard quartz interlayer conditions.
  • Good resistance to chipping: No obvious large-area breakage or structural failure was observed after use in fractured rock.
  • Reliable drilling continuity: The bit completed both cable anchor holes and anchor holes, helping support continuous on-site drilling operations.
  • Suitable for demanding roof support work: The result demonstrates strong adaptability in fractured limestone and high-hardness interlayer applications.

Conclusion

In an f=9 fractured limestone formation with hard quartz interlayers, our φ32 two-wing PDC anchor bit delivered 38 m of stable drilling performance while maintaining strong structural integrity and controlled wear after field use.
