Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an industrial device, such as a drill bit including a thermally stable polycrystalline diamond (TSP) table coupled to a substrate via an attachment joint, with at least one attachment material located in the attachment joint. At least one of the attachment materials includes a metal or metal alloy and an additive material having a hardness higher than the metal or metal alloy or a coefficient of thermal expansion lower than that of the metal or metal alloy.

Abstract: A drill bit for subterranean drilling operations is disclosed. The drill bit comprises a drill bit body with one or more blades. The drill bit further comprises a plurality of primary cutters, each primary cutter located on at least one blade, and a plurality of secondary cutters, each secondary cutter located on at least one blade other than the blade on which the primary cutters are located.

Abstract: Cutting elements and other hardfacing components of a drill bit or other downhole equipment are provided that include a thermally stable polycrystalline material anodically bonded to a substrate. Methods and systems for making such elements and components are also provided.

Abstract: Zonal heating and cooling during the production of matrix drill bits may be achieved with a system that includes a cavity defined within a mold assembly having a central axis; reinforcing particles and a binder material disposed within the cavity; and a plurality of induction coils about a periphery of the mold assembly, each induction coil being spaced from each other along the height of the mold assembly, wherein a first induction coil of the plurality of induction coils is arranged proximal to a portion of mold assembly containing a portion of the reinforcing particles and a second induction coil of the plurality of induction coils is arranged proximal to a portion of the mold assembly containing a portion of the binder material.
