US Patent:

50905007, Feb 25, 1992

Filed:

Nov 30, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/619966

Inventors:

Faisal J. Yousef - Houston TX
Robert F. Kane - Houston TX

Assignee:

Sandvik Rock Tools, Inc. - Bristol VA

International Classification:

E21B 1036
E21B 1046
E21B 1710

US Classification:

175320

Abstract:

A percussion drill includes a reciprocating piston surrounded by a cylindrical casing. Disposed at opposite ends of the cylindrical casing are replaceable hollow cylindrical wear sleeves. The wear sleeves are mounted within recesses formed in the outer surface of the casing. Each wear sleeve has a thickness equal to the depth of its respective recess. A longitudinal inner end of each wear sleeve is spaced longitudinally from an end surface of the recess, and a flexible seal is situated between those opposing ends. The wear sleeves can be replaced after being worn by the abrasive environment encountered in the hole being drilled. The wear sleeves may be formed of a more wear resistant material than the casing.

US Classification:

175415

Abstract:

A thread coupling comprises two interconnected screw threads. Each of the screw threads has a root portion shaped as a portion of an ellipse. With respect to one of the threads having such a shape, the major axis of the ellipse is longer than that of the other thread.

Appl. No.:

6/678955

Inventors:

Robert F. Kane - Houston TX
William D. Van Arnam - Houston TX

Assignee:

TRW Inc. - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

C23C 806
C23C 1600
B05D 306

US Classification:

148 635

Abstract:

A hard corrosion resistant surface is provided on a ferrous substrate by first overlay welding onto the substrate surface a chromium containing ferrous material. The deposited overlay can then be machined. It is thereafter subjected to a carburization treatment at a temperature and for a time sufficient to cause the overlay to become converted to an austenitic material containing iron chromium carbides. After cooling, the carburized overlay material is heated for a time and at a temperature sufficient to cause the austenitic matrix material to precipitate secondary carbides and convert to a martensite matrix material upon cooling. It is also contemplated to initiate the aforesaid treatment with a suitably selected chromium containing ferrous material that thereby is not overlay welded.

International Classification:

E21B 1036
F16B 3504

US Classification:

175320

Abstract:

A driver sub and a case for enclosing a piston chamber of a percussion drill are threadedly connected by respective identical male and female screw threads. Each of the identical male and female screw threads includes a root portion, the shape of which is defined by portions of two axially overlapping ellipses interconnected by a flat.

Appl. No.:

6/946442

Inventors:

Robert F. Kane - Houston TX
Joseph J. Portugal - Spring TX
Paul S. Kuzniar - Spring TX

Assignee:

TRW Inc. - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

E21B 1046

US Classification:

175329

Abstract:

A rock drilling bit comprises a steel body defining a cutting face with hard material inserts press-fitted into preformed openings in the cutting face. The inserts have ends extending outwardly of the cutting face which perform the actual drilling or cutting operation. The face surface of the body is case hardened except for narrow continuous bands about each insert opening. A method particularly suited for forming the case hardened cutting face is also disclosed.

Filed:

Dec 23, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/945837

Inventors:

George O. Keller - Spring TX
Joseph J. Portugal - Houston TX
Robert F. Kane - Houston TX

Assignee:

TRW Inc. - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

C21D 168
B21K 502

US Classification:

148 12R

Abstract:

A method of forming precision openings in hardened steel workpieces is disclosed. The method generally includes drilling nominal size openings in the workpiece while it is in a soft condition. Thereafter, sizing plugs formed from a material having a strength greater than that of the steel body during a predetermined range of temperatures are press-fitted in the openings. With the plugs in position, the body is heat treated to harden it. Subsequently, the plugs are removed and the resulting openings are found to be of an extremely uniform size without the wide variations present when hardening is performed without the sizing plugs.
