With the evolution of diamond core drilling, diamond impregnated coring bits are the most common type of diamond coring bit used in the industry today. Traditional surface set bits only had one layer of diamonds on the surface, so in harder conditions, they would wear very quickly. Impregnated diamond bits have several layers of diamonds positioned all throughout the matrix to provide a longer-lasting cutting surface. Di-Corp’s Carbonado bits are very similar to surface set bits but use carbonado diamonds which are considerably tougher and have high wear resistance compared to the natural diamonds used in conventional surface set bits. As a result, the Carbonado Bits perform better in more abrasive formations and offer excellent core recovery in broken ground conditions.
