MF-rod R32–round 32–R32

Today, let’s talk about our experience with the failure of drill rods on rock drilling rigs.
As the drill rod of the excavation trolley, it is the conductor that transfers the impact energy of the rock drill to the rock. Its working form is shown in the figure above. Regardless of the specifications, there are mainly several failure modes, namely normal wear. In addition, one is the breakage of the drill rod, and the other is the deformation of the connecting thread wear. Thread wear and deformation are common, while fractures are relatively rare, but the fracture points are almost always located about 50 centimeters away from the thread sleeve.

drilling rod of the excavation trolley

This situation is actually very consistent with the theory of energy transfer fluctuations in rock drills. When the impact piston strikes the drill tail, the kinetic energy of the impact piston is converted into stress waves, which are transmitted to the bottom of the hole through the drill rod and drill bit. In order to achieve optimal drilling economy, the entire system from the rock drill to the drilling tool to the rock must be coordinated with each other. According to the stress wave theory, stress waves are rectangular in shape, with the length of the rectangular wave being twice the length of the piston. The height of the rectangular wave depends on the velocity of the piston at the moment of impact, as well as the relationship between the cross-sectional area of the impact piston and the cross-sectional area of the drill rod, as shown in the figure. The energy generated by the impact of the rock drill piston is transmitted in the form of waves through the drill rod tail, and the drill rod breaks the rock. If you have hit a large hammer, held a drill rod, or chiseled a nail, you can feel the slight expansion of the drill rod with your palm or fingers, and have a sensory experience. According to this theory, at any given impact pressure, the stress wave amplitude in the drill pipe, i.e. the stress value, will become higher due to the reduction in the cross-section of the drill pipe. In order to achieve a longer service life for the drill tail and drill rod, it is important to ensure that the working pressure matches the cross-sectional size of the drilling tool at all times. Atlas Copco’s rock drills all adopt the concept of slender piston, and hope that the diameter of the drill bit tail and the drill rod match with it and are uniform without change, so that the peak value of the energy wave is uniform, which can not only achieve high transmission efficiency, but also improve the life of the drilling tool. This is also why Atlas rock drill is more efficient than other brands.

However, in reality, whether it is a drill tail or a drill rod, due to functional and processing requirements, its structural shape is difficult to fully meet the condition of no change in diameter. From the figure, we can see that in excavation and rock drilling, whether using an integrated fast drill rod or a connecting sleeve, the connection thread between the drill rod tail and the drill rod is the place where the amplitude of the shock wave changes the most, that is, where the shock wave peak will be generated; The accuracy of thread machining, the matching degree of mutual cooperation, and even the deflection changes during the working process of the drill pipe have the greatest impact on this part, which is why drill pipe failures occur more often in this area. So, if drilling tool manufacturers can make efforts in this area, there is still a lot of work to be done.

drilling rod of the excavation trolley


But in reality, I believe that only improvement can be made. In a sense, this problem is unsolvable for horizontal excavation and rock drilling.
In open-pit rock drilling, down the hole hammers are now more commonly used, and since the drill pipe does not withstand impact, there is no such problem. Atlas skillfully used a kind of drill tool called COPROD for top hammer drilling. As shown in the figure, the outer casing does not bear impact, and the internal impact rod does not use threaded connection, but uses lap joint, so the diameter will not change, and the waveform will not have peak changes. The drilling speed and the life of the drilling tool are both very long, but basically it is only suitable for vertical drilling.

To maximize the service life of your down-the-hole drill bits, consider implementing these comprehensive strategies:

DTH button bit

Material Selection and Quality Assurance:

High-Quality Materials: Select drill bits crafted from superior materials known for their exceptional wear resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and durability. High-grade alloys and specialized composites often yield superior performance.

Coatings: Opt for drill bits with premium coatings that bolster wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability, thereby prolonging their lifespan.

Design and Geometry Optimization:

Optimal Design: Ensure that the drill bit boasts a well-thought-out geometry tailored to the specific drilling application. A thoughtfully designed drill bit head and cutting edges can mitigate wear and enhance efficiency.

Geometry Maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain the drill bit’s geometry. Sharpen worn-out edges or replace them as needed to maintain peak cutting performance.

Operating Parameters and Conditions:

Reasonable Operating Parameters: Fine-tune drilling parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, and drilling pressure to optimize the drilling process. Avoid excessively high speeds and pressures that can lead to premature wear.

Cooling and Lubrication: Employ cooling lubricants to keep the drilling area cool, minimize friction, and ward off thermal wear. This aids in preserving the drill bit’s sharpness and extends its life.

Drilling Environment: Be mindful of the material being drilled and its properties, including hardness and abrasiveness. Choose the appropriate drill bit and adjust drilling parameters accordingly to align with the material’s characteristics.

DTH button bit

Maintenance and Management:

Regular Inspections: Conduct thorough inspections of the drill bit for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Promptly replace worn-out bits to forestall further degradation and ensure efficient drilling.

Storage Conditions: Store drill bits in a dry, rust-free environment to prevent corrosion and deterioration.

Professional Training: Provide operators with training on the proper use and maintenance of drill bits. Proper handling and operation can drastically reduce abnormal wear and extend the bit’s life.

Specific Considerations for Diamond Bits:

For diamond bits, additional factors to consider include:

Diamond Quality: The grade, size, and concentration of diamonds in the bit impact its lifespan. Choose bits with diamonds that are well-suited for the intended drilling application.

Matrix Composition: The matrix material and its properties are crucial in supporting the diamonds and ensuring they are effectively exposed for cutting. Optimize the matrix composition to match the drilling conditions and material being drilled.

Manufacturing Process: The manufacturing process, including sintering and brazing techniques, can affect the bit’s durability. Ensure high-quality manufacturing to minimize defects and enhance performance.

Pre-Shipping Checklist:

Ensure the drill bit does not come into contact with the metal surface, especially avoiding the bottom of the alloy buttons touching each other.

Carefully inspect the drill bit before shipping and jot down the drill bit number and serial number for future reference.

Foot Valve Maintenance:

Verify the correct installation of the foot valve and its proper exposed height. Ensure the foot valve is intact.

Inspect for damaged and corroded impact ends, typically due to inadequate lubrication. A cracked impact tip often stems from severe wear of the piston, circlip, or bottom bushing.

DTH Button Bit Maintenance:

Drill Bit Head Maintenance:

In highly abrasive formations, the drill body wears down faster than the alloy buttons, a phenomenon known as “drill erosion.” To minimize alloy button breakage, grind them so they are no higher than 9 mm from the drill bit surface.

Control the depth of the chip removal groove due to abrasiveness and wear on the body caused by high drilling speeds. Frequently regrind the flutes to ensure effective debris removal.

Severe erosion and the force of the piston hitting the drill bit can cause alloy buttons to fall off, known as “button loss.” This can occur even with minor erosion. When drilling into soft formations, frequently remove the drill bit for cleaning to maintain constant contact between the drill bit surface and the bottom rock.

Increasing the rotation speed does not necessarily boost the penetration rate but rather increases the wear frequency, particularly in abrasive layers. Under abrasive conditions, control the wear frequency based on the required drilling depth.

A flattened surface button typically indicates a lack of flow energy from the hammer or insufficient torque. Inspect the drill bit for minute cracks at the bottom. Failure to address this condition can lead to surface chipping and ultimately complete failure of the bottom.

The drill bit violently and low impact breaks the rock during rock drilling, thereby achieving the purpose of drilling boreholes in the rock. During use, alloy teeth inevitably collide and rub against rocks, resulting in wear. Wear is a normal failure mode of alloy teeth without fracture. The ultimate failure mode of the drill bit is also due to the wear of the alloy teeth, which makes it impossible to continue drilling rocks and ends. Wear is usually caused by collisions and friction between alloy teeth and rocks during the drilling process. Hard particles in the rock first plow into the softer bonding parts of the alloy teeth, causing them to be worn away first. In the subsequent cutting motion, WC grains that lose their bonding phase protection peel off, thereby grinding off a small part of the alloy teeth. Under the loading of rock drilling machinery, the alloy teeth continuously wear out, and the relative motion and contact area between the alloy and the rock also increase, further accelerating the wear of the alloy teeth.

rock drilling button drill bit

High wind pressure impactor is a type of rock drilling tool, but unlike other rock drilling tools, it always stays at the bottom of the hole during the drilling process, and the piston directly impacts the drill bit. Compressed gas enters the impactor through the drill rod and is then discharged from the drill bit, and the exhaust gas is used to discharge slag. The rotary motion of the impactor is provided by the rotary head of the drilling rig, and the axial thrust is provided by the propulsion mechanism of the drilling rig, which is transmitted to the impactor through the drill rod.
2、 Structural principle
The down the hole impactor is composed of a piston, an inner cylinder, a valve seat, a check valve, and drill bit accessories installed in a slender outer cylinder. The upper end of the outer cylinder is equipped with an upper joint with a plate handle and a connecting thread, and the lower end is equipped with a threaded clamping sleeve. The clamping sleeve is mainly used to transmit thrust and rotary motion to the drill bit, and the clamping ring controls the axial movement of the drill bit. The check valve is used to prevent debris such as rock slag from entering the impactor when the supply of compressed air is stopped. During the drilling process, the drill bit is pushed into the impactor and pressed against the clamping sleeve. At this time, the piston directly impacts the drill bit into rock drilling. When the drill bit is lifted off the bottom of the hole, it begins to forcefully blow and discharge slag.
3、 Precautions for use and operation

  1. Ensure reliable lubrication
    The lubrication of the impactor is achieved through the oil injector on the drilling rig, so it is necessary to ensure that the oil injector is filled with lubricating oil before the start of each shift, and there is still residual oil before the next shift,
  2. Install the impactor before the drill rod, operate the impact air valve to exhaust and remove debris from the drill rod, and check if there is lubricating oil on the drill rod. After connecting the impactor, check if there is an oil film on the drill bit spline. If there is obvious no oil or the oil level is too high, adjust the oil injector system.
    When the impactor starts drilling, the push air valve should be operated to make the impactor move forward, press against the ground, and open the impact air valve to make the impactor work. At this time, attention should be paid not to make the impactor rotate, otherwise it is impossible to stabilize the drill. When a small pit is formed by the impact and the drill is stabilized, then open the rotary air valve to make the impactor work normally.
  3. During the work process, regularly check the air compressor tachometer and pressure gauge. If the drilling speed drops rapidly and the pressure increases, it indicates that there is a malfunction in the drilling machine. If the hole wall collapses or mud hoops are formed in the hole, timely measures should be taken to eliminate them.
  4. During the drilling process, always keep the hole free of rock debris. If necessary, perform a strong blow to clean the hole by lifting the impactor 150mm away from the bottom of the hole. At this point, the impactor stops impacting and all compressed air is discharged through the center hole of the impactor.
    If the drill bit falls off the column or debris falls into the hole, it should be promptly sucked out with a magnet.
  5. Regularly grind the drill bit teeth, and the height of the teeth after grinding should be 9-9.6mm.
  6. When replacing the drill bit, attention should be paid to the diameter change. If the worn hole of the drill bit has not been drilled, it is impossible to replace the drill bit with a new one to avoid “sticking the drill bit”.
    Efficient drilling and improving the service life of drill bits depend on the appropriate combination of axial pressure and rotational speed. Various rock layers will affect the rotational speed and axial pressure, and it is advisable to avoid rebound during the operation of the impactor. The rotational speed can be adjusted according to the particle size of the rock slag.
  7. It is strictly prohibited to reverse the impactor and drill rod inside the hole to prevent the impactor from falling into the hole.
  8. When drilling a downward hole, do not immediately stop supplying gas to the impactor when drilling stops. Instead, lift the drill for strong blowing until there is no more rock debris or powder discharged from the hole before stopping the air flow. Then, lower the drilling tool and stop rotating.
    4、 Repair and maintenance
    Under normal rock drilling conditions, the impactor should be inspected, cleaned, and reassembled every 200 hours of operation. When drilling water holes or using mud to remove slag, it should be done every 100 hours by a dedicated person in the repair workshop.
    5、 Cleaning, testing, and repair
  9. Thoroughly clean all removed parts with cleaning agent and blow dry with compressed air.
  10. Inspect all parts of each component, and if there are any bumps or scratches, use a file, scraper, or fine oilstone to polish and repair them completely. (Piston parts can be stuck on the lathe for grinding) If there are thermal cracks or damage, they should be replaced,
  11. Measure the large outer circle of the piston and the inner diameter of the cylinder with a micrometer and an inner diameter gauge. If the fit clearance is too large, replace the piston or cylinder with a new one.
  12. Check the wear of the card sleeve, and replace it with a new one when its outer circumference is worn to less than the outer diameter of the outer tube.
  13. Check the wear of the keyway of the card sleeve. If the outer circle is worn to less than the outer diameter of the outer tube, it should be replaced with a new one. 5mm should replace the brazing sleeve.
  14. Apply lubricating oil to all parts of the repaired parts and all parts to be assembled.
    6、 Assembly of impactor
  15. Stand the lower end of the outer tube upwards on the ground, insert the small head of the liner downwards into the outer tube, and strike it in place with a copper rod.
  16. Place the drill bit head down on the ground, apply a layer of butter to the inner thread of the outer pipe, insert the large outer circle of the drill bit into the drill bit, and insert the O-ring into the small outer circle of the drill bit. Connect the drill bit, drill bit sleeve, and O-ring together and screw them into the outer pipe.
  17. Place the outer tube containing the drill bit on the workbench, drive the valve seat into the inner cylinder with a copper rod, insert the piston into the cylinder and push it into the outer tube from the upper end of the outer tube, and strike it in place with a copper rod.
  18. Insert the spring and check valve, and check if the check valve moves freely.
  19. Apply a layer of butter to the internal thread on the upper end of the outer tube, and screw the rear joint into the outer tube.
  20. Use a long barrel to check if the piston can move freely.
    7、 Common troubleshooting methods
    Fault 1: Insufficient lubricating oil or failure to cause premature wear or damage.
    Reason: The lubricating oil cannot reach the impact structure of the impactor.
    Exclusion method: Check the lubrication device, adjust the oil injector, and increase the oil injection volume.
  21. The clearance between the piston and the inner and outer cylinders, as well as between the piston and the valve seat, is too large.
  22. The impactor is blocked by dirt.
  23. The piston or drill bit tail is broken.
    Exclusion method:
  24. Check the air pressure and ensure that the air path is unobstructed. Is the check valve stuck.
  25. Disassemble the impactor, check for wear, and replace worn parts. (For the impactor to function properly, please use genuine accessories from our company.)
  26. Disassemble the impactor and clean all internal components inside the impactor.
  27. Disassemble the impactor and replace the piston or drill bit. (For the good operation of the impactor, please choose genuine accessories from our company)
    Fault 3: The drill bit and drill sleeve come off
    Reason: The impactor did not rotate to the right during operation.
    Exclusion method: Hook up the detached parts and ensure a right turn when drilling or lifting.
