Face Design
Hammer bits are offered in three basic face designs: concave, convex, and flat face. Each are designed for specific applications and conditions and for varying rock types and hardness.
|
Concave is an excellent all around face design and is used as a general-purpose bit for most conditions while drilling a very straight hole. |
|
Convex bits are used for a combination of speed and service life. Having 2 gage rows, they are also suited for hard, abrasive rock. |
|
Flat face bits are best suited for broken or fragmented ground and hard formations. |
Not sure which face design is best for your application? Contact us, and we will be happy to assist you!
Tungsten Carbide Insert Design
Hammer bits come equipped with tungsten carbide inserts (buttons), which are offered in three basic designs: dome, ballistic, and parabolic. You may also request conical or double dome buttons, or a combination of buttons with one type on the face of the bit and another type on the gauge of the bit. In addition to button shape options, many hammer bit manufacturers offer carbide grade options such as Dynite, DP65, and Diamond Enhanced. Call Givens to explore your options.
|
Dome is the most common button design and is used in all applications. Its tough shape makes it durable and best suited for hard abrasive rock and deep hole drilling. |
|
Ballistic buttons are best suited for less abrasive sedimentary deposits where speed is vital. They are commonly used in convex face bits and are less suited to badly broken ground and hard rock. |
|
Parabolic buttons combine the durability of the dome design and the increased speed of the ballistic design and are less suited to broken ground. |
