In this study, the fracture of piston for rock drill produced from case hardening steel is investigated. In order to study the causes of the fracture, specimens prepared from the damaged pistons were subject.
[pdf] Heat treatment for rock drilling tools typically involves processes such as annealing, normalizing, quenching, and tempering. These techniques greatly enhance the tool’s hardness, wear resistance, strength, and toughness, ensuring optimal performance even in demanding working conditions.
[pdf] These drill bits are specifically engineered to enhance cutting power and debris removal, ideal for drilling through harder rock types like sandstone and limestone. Their triangular shape concentrates the cutting force, effectively penetrating tough layers.
