The wear resistance of powder metallurgy drill bit mainly depends on the quality of its material and structural design, generally you can judge the wear resistance of powder metallurgy drill bit by the following methods:
1. Hardness of the material: The hardness of a powder metallurgy drill bit is usually the key indicator of its wear resistance. The higher the hardness, the less likely the bit will wear out during the cutting process. Commonly used methods to measure the hardness include Rockwell hardness test, Vickers hardness test and so on.
2. Cutting speed and stability of the drill: The cutting speed and stability of the powder metallurgy drill can be observed in the process of use to initially judge its wear resistance. If the cutting speed of the drill is fast and stable, it means that its wear resistance is good; on the contrary, it may have poor wear resistance.
3. Service life: The wear resistance of powder metallurgy drill bits is determined by observing their service life. Generally speaking, the drill bits with longer service life tend to have stronger wear resistance.
4. Smoothness of the cutting surface: after the use of the powder metallurgy drill, the smoothness of the cutting surface can also reflect its wear resistance to a certain extent. If the cutting surface is smooth, it means that the wear resistance of the drill is good; on the contrary, it means that the wear resistance may be poor.
5. Changes in cutting force and temperature: Observe the changes in cutting force and temperature of the powder metallurgy drill in the cutting process can also be a preliminary judgement of its wear resistance. Generally speaking, the cutting force and temperature change in the cutting process of the drill with better wear resistance are smaller.
In general, the wear resistance of powder metallurgy drill bits is a comprehensive performance index, which needs to be evaluated from multiple aspects. Through the comprehensive application of the above methods, the wear resistance of powder metallurgy drill bits can be judged more accurately to ensure that they have better cutting performance and service life in the process of use.
