The Effect of Clearance Angle on Wear of Rotary-Drag Bits
By testing rotary-drag bits in granodiorite it was found that an increase in bit clearance angle from 241 0 to 33 decreased insert wear. Severe wear has precluded economic application of rotary-drag drilling in abrasive rock even though fast penetration rates have been achieved.From a limited number of tests and from theoretical considerations, the insert wear was inversely proportional to the thrust on the bit This effect follows the marked reduction in the linear distance traversed by the inserts, for a given depth of penetration, as thrust increases...
