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] In DTH drilling, the percussion mechanism – commonly called the hammer – is located directly above the drill bit. The drill pipes transmit the necessary feed force and rotation to the hammer and the bit, along with the fluid (air, water or drilling mud) used to actuate the hammer and flush the cuttings. The drill pipes are added to the drill string successively behind the hammer as the hole gets deeper.
