Abstract: A composite wear-resistant member and a method of manufacturing the same. The method includes setting an appropriate sintering temperature from 900° C. to 1080° C. by adjusting a ratio of phosphor in a material, wherein the material contains hard particles including diamond particles and WC particles, a binder of an iron group metal containing phosphor (P), and copper, which is distributed and is present alone; and performing hot press sintering or electric discharge sintering on the material. The composite wear-resistant member includes a material including hard particles including diamond particles and WC particles, a binder of an iron group metal containing phosphor, and copper. The phosphor content is from 0.01 to 1.0 wt % with respect to the sum total of the WC particles and the binder.

Abstract: The present invention provides a rock bit which enables a reduction in surface pressure from a well wall and which allows possible vibration to be suppressed. A first of the present invention provides a rock bit including a bit body with a journal portion, a cone portion configured to be rotatable with respect to the bit body, a bearing portion located between the cone portion and the journal portion, and a seal provided between the cone portion and the journal portion to seal the bearing portion, wherein the cone portion includes a gauge surface that contacts a side wall of a well, and a diamond composite material is preferably disposed extensively and smoothly on the gauge surface. In a second aspect of the present invention, a ring bit is provided at an outer peripheral portion of a bit body. Furthermore, a cone portion of a tri-cone bit includes no gauge tip or surface chip that contacts the side wall of the well but only cemented carbide tips that contact a bottom of the well.

Abstract: Provided are a composite wear-resistant member which can be manufactured with a lowered sintering temperature, and thus can prevent the carbonization of a material around super hard particles such as diamond; and a method for manufacturing the member. The member, characterized in that it comprises hard particles comprising diamond particles and WC particles and an iron group metal containing phosphorus as a binding material, wherein the content of phosphorus is 0.01 to 2.0 wt % relative to the total weight of the WC particles and the binding material.

Abstract: A high pressure injection nozzle member is formed of a super hard alloy or a hard material of carbide series mainly composing of a tungsten carbide as, wherein the tungsten carbon is composed of grains each having a diameter of less than 1 .mu.m. At least one kind of carbide or solid solution of carbide selected from Ti, Ta, V, Cr, Mo, Hf, or Zr by a weight % of less than 10.0% is added. A binding material essentially consisting of at least one of iron group elements by weight % of 0.2 to 2.0% may be further added. The super hard alloy or a hard sintered material has a high abrasion proof property and has a hardness more than about HRA 94.0. Nitride or nitride solid solution may be utilized in place of carbide or carbide solid solution. The nozzle member is particularly suitable for an abrasive water jet.
