Patent number: 6029759Abstract: A steel tooth particularly suited for use in a rolling cone bit includes a parent metal core having an inner gage facing surface, leading and trailing edges, a root region adjacent to the cone and an outer most edge spaced from the root region. A hardfacing layer that includes at least two hardfacing materials having differing wear characteristics is disposed over the parent metal core in an asymmetric arrangement of regions of the first and second materials. A first of the hardfacing materials has a higher low stress abrasive wear resistance than that of the second material. The second material has a high stress abrasion resistance that is greater than the first material. The first and second materials are applied in generally contiguous regions over the entire gage facing surface of the parent metal core so as to optimize regions of the tooth for the particular cutting duty experience by that region.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 1997Date of Patent: February 29, 2000Assignee: Smith International, Inc.Inventors: Jiinjen Albert Sue, James C.

Patent number: 6007922Abstract: A new family of chromium boride coatings having excellent adhesive wear and corrosion resistance is disclosed. The coatings comprise hard, ultrafine, chromium boride particles dispersed in a metal matrix, the particles having an average particle size of less than one micron and constituting less than about 30 volume percent of the coating, the balance being metal matrix. The metal matrix may be composed of nickel or a nickel base alloy containing a metal selected from the group consisting of chromium, silicon and iron. The coatings may be prepared by a process which comprises depositing a mechanically blended powder mixture of chromium metal or a chromium alloy or mixture of both, and a boron-containing alloy onto a substrate and then heat treating the as-deposited coating. The heat treatment effects a diffusion reaction between the deposited elements resulting in the formation of ultrafine particles of chromium boride dispersed in a metal matrix.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1984Date of Patent: December 28, 1999Assignee: Union Carbide Coatings Service CorporationInventors: Jiinjen Albert Sue, Robert Clark Tucker, Jr., Joseph Patrick Nemeth

Patent number: 5921330Abstract: An improved hardfacing for teeth and other surfaces of milled tooth rock bits comprises a hard phase of carbide particles embedded in a toughened steel matrix containing no more than 10 percent by volume of combined eta phase and oxide particle components. Eta phase and oxide particle formation is minimized during oxyacetylene welding by positioning the weld rod in a preferred region of the torch flame while welding the hardfacing to the rock bit. The matrix is strengthened by uniformly dispersing ultra-fine carbide or boride particles in the steel alloy. The hardfacing is further toughened by selecting tough carbide particles for the hard phase. Accordingly, the hard phase comprises spherical cast carbide and spherical cemented carbide particles having particle sizes in the range of from 75 .mu.m to 590 .mu.m.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 1997Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignee: Smith International, Inc.Inventors: Jiinjen Albert Sue, Zhlgang Fang, Alysia C.
