Craelius Exploration Core Bits Impregnated bits
Impregnated diamond drill bits are designed to perform as

grinders. Diamonds are embedded in an infiltred or sintered
matrix. The matrix erodes away at the same rate as the
diamonds become worn and rounded. Thus new sharp
diamonds are exposed to continue cutting through the rock.
The combination of diamonds and matrix determine the
performance of an impregnated bit. The simultaneous erosion
of the matrix and the diamonds makes the bit self sharpening.
The ideal combination of optimal penetration rate and wear
resistance matched to achieve the ultimate in drilling economy.
In most geological formations, impregnated bits are more
economical to use than surface set bits they provide the
following additional benefits:
• Greater resistance to wear in most formations, particularly

in fissured and fractured formations. SC10 impregnated bit
• Less sensitive to abuse, rough handling and improper use.
Diamonds
Only synthetic diamonds except for gauge stones are used in
the manufacture of Atlas Copco impregnated bits. The
constancy of shape, granular size, and strength make synthetic
diamonds better than natural stones.
The diamonds are carefully selected according to quality and
size for the application. Through advanced manufacturing
technology an extensive range of drilling requirements can be
satisfied.
Continuous control of the processes at each step in the
manufacturing ensures that all bits are of identical quality. This
consistent high quality means more drill metres per bit.

Standard impregnated drill bits are available with
different matrix heights:
- Low (2): 6.5 mm, Conventional bits

- Standard (3): 9.5 mm, Conventional bits and WL bits
- Extra high (4): 12.0 mm, Wire line bits
- Super (5): 16.0 mm, Wire line bits
Low and standard height is used for conventional bits where bit
life does not effect the number of round trips and when large
wear of the bit diameter is anticipated (when extra high matrix
cannot be fully utilized).
W profile For wire line bits Extra or Super matrix height is generally
recommended.
Profiles
Most impregnated bits have W-profile and some flat profile

Craelius Exploration Core Bits Surface set bits
Atlas Copco surface set bits are manufactured to the highest

standards in the industry for the ultimate in drilling
performance.
Atlas Copco surface set bits have proven to have a high
penetration rate, long service life, and best adaptability to
changing formations. The diamonds in these bits are arranged
in patterns developed from many years of practical field
experience. The patterns vary according to the size of the
stones used. The patterns are important for the service life and
penetration rate of the bit.
The diamonds used are imbedded in a hard matrix with high
resistance to erosion
Matrix Surface set bit

Surface set bits are manufactured using a universal hard type of
matrix for all formations.
Diamond quality
The standard range of natural diamonds for surface set bits is
chosen in a high quality all-round grade:
S Special quality. Selected and processed diamonds with a
highly polished surface. These stones have a high impact
resistance and may be considered as an universal type. Semi-round
Recommended for soft to medium hard formations.
Diamond sizes
(spc - stones per carat)
As a general rule; the softer formation, the larger the diamonds
used i.e. 20 to 25 spc.
In hard formation, smaller diamonds 30/50 spc are typical.
Atlas Copco standard diamond sizes are: Multi-step
20/25 and 30/35 stones per carat (spc)
Carat = Diamond weight

1 carat = 0.2 g
Diamond content is measured in carat (CRT).
Other diamond qualities and sizes on request. Face-discharge (2 step)
Profiles
Surface set drill bits are available in different profiles to obtain
optimal drilling performance.
There are three standard profiles for core bits i.e. semi-round,
multi-step or face-discharge types
Surface set non-coring bits have a conical profile.

Craelius Exploration Core Bits TC bits
Bits for soil investigations and

geotechnical drilling
A range of bits designed especially for soil investigations and
geotechnical drilling, but also suitable in some applications for
mineral exploration.
TC Tungsten carbide bits

Carbide bits are normally used for coring in softer rock
formations, overburden drilling, and cleaning of drill holes.
Atlas Copco manufactures three different types of tungsten
carbide bits :
• TC bits with octagonal inserts
• TC bits with flat plates
• TC CORBORIT® bits
TC bits with octagonal inserts

These bits have octagonal tungsten carbide inserts what are
ground at an angle of 10° to form the cutting edges. The
quality of the tungsten carbide chosen has been specially
developed for rotary drilling to give high wear resistance. TC Octagonal insert
The carbide inserts can be reground.
TC bits with flat plate

These bits are normally used with Atlas Copco coring
equipment S Geobor when drilling in non consolidated
formations.
The plates are positioned so that drill cuttings are forced
outwards during drilling, which in turn provides better core
recovery and avoid core blockages.
TC Flat plate
TC CORBORIT® bits
CORBORIT® is another type of tungsten carbide bits
manufactured of crushed carbide chips with a granular size of
2-5 mm, mixed with a special alloy.
CORBORIT® bits have considerably more cutting edges than
standard TC bits and are recommended in medium to medium
hard sedimentary formations.
CORBORIT® bits cause less vibration and offer better core
recovery than standard TC bits.
CORBORIT®
All TC bits can be used in clean-out operations, e.g. for the
removal of steel fragments from a drill hole.
6
Craelius Exploration Core Bits PDC bits
PDC (Poly-Crystalline Diamond Composite) Bits

PDC bits are an alternative to TC bits and surface set diamond
bits, when drilling in non-consolidated and medium hard rock
formations. PDC bits cut rather than grind through rock
formations.
DIAPAX
Bits with brazed round PDC inserts.
DIAPAX
TRIPAX
Bits with brazed cubic or triangular PDC inserts embedded in TRIPAX
the matrix. Bits with cubic inserts available with sawtooth
profile.

Craelius Reaming shells and casing shoe bits
Reaming shells
Reaming shells are placed behind the drill bit on the core barrel
to maintain the correct hole diameter and stabilize the core
barrel.
A reaming shell has to be replaced when its diameter
becomes less than the diameter of the new bit. In this way only
the very last part of the hole has to be reamed when a new bit
is inserted. A reaming shell also helps to stabilize the core
barrel. Reaming shells are available for all types of core barrels
and drill bits.
Surface set reaming shells

Standard Atlas Copco surface set reaming shells are set using
specially chosen diamonds, with a stone size of 30/50 spc. Well
designed waterways facilitate effective flushing and
contribute to long service life and good drilling economy for Surface set TC
both reaming shells and drill bits. All reaming shells are spiral reaming shell reaming shell
set rib type yields a better performance than vertical segments.
TC Tungsten carbide reaming shells

Atlas Copco supplies a range of tungsten carbide
reaming shells. In non-consolidated formations, e.g. limestone,
it may be more economic to use tungsten carbide reaming
shells rather than diamond surface set reaming shells.
Casing shoe bits

Casing shoe bits are used for drilling down or positioning
casing tubes into drill holes.
Casing shoe bits for drilling have cutting segments on the
front and exterior, while the interior is smooth. The inner
diameter of the casing shoe is sufficiently large to permit free
passage of drill bits and core barrels in corresponding sizes.
Atlas Copco manufactures a comprehensive range
of diamond and tungsten carbide set casing shoe bits
for standard metric and DCDMA casing sizes. Surface set casing shoe bit
• Impregnated casing shoe bits are

manufactured with matrix HH.
• TC inserts type casing shoe bits are also available.
• Surface set casing shoe bits are available in limited

standard sizes, others on request.

Rotation Speed, rev/min (RPM)

The choice of the rotation speed is affected by many factors such as bit type, penetration rate, hole
diameter, rod diameter, depth, and vibrations that may occur. High peripherical speed, 2-5 m/s is
recommended for impregnated bits, while 1-3 m/s is recommended for surface set bits (see below). The
diagram gives rough recommendations for related rev/min according to the bit type and hole diameter.
Within certain limits, “a rule of thumb” is, the higher penetration the higher rev/min.

Flushing
Particularly for impregnated bits, bit performance is strongly dependent on water flushing. The flushing has three
purposes: Cooling the bit, lubricating the bit and drill string and lift up the cuttings. Some bit types need a lot of
water to perform well, others do not. For most bit types a reduced amount of water sharpens the bit and reduces
bit life, while a lot of water can polish the bit but increase the bit life. This is most valid in hard and polishing rock.
Suitable amount of water for each bit type is stated on the sticker for drilling parameters.
The required lifting capacity depends on the diameter of the hole and drill rods used. The water volume can be
calculated in the diagram below.
Always use the higher volume of the two values, from the diagram and that recommended on the sticker of the
drill bit. It is essential to use an accurate flow meter.
