Impregnated Diamond Core Bit

The impregnated diamond core bit can drill a wide range of formations and it is the most commonly used in mineral exploration. This type of bit is produced with synthetic diamonds scattered evenly thoughout the the alloy matrix. During drilling, the alloy matrix erodes and the layers of sharp synthetic diamonds will continually expose until the whole bit matrix is completely consumed. Compared with the bits made from other types of cutting media, the impregnated diamond core bit has longer bit life because it has multiple layers of synthetic diamond.
