HISTORYBOART PRODUCTSOur diamond products were originally developed byAnglo American Corporation in the 1930sas a way to commercialize industrial-grade diamondsfor the world’s leading diamond producer. BoartProducts led the research and development programwhich enabled practical and reliable manufacturingof diamond coring bits.EARLY SUCCESS IN THE COPPER BELTThe first Boart bits off the line were put to useexploring for copper in Zambia and gold in theOrange Free State, South Africa. The early successof these bits paved the way for widespread adoptionof the technology within the industry.LONGYEARIn 1938, the Longyear contract drilling departmentstarted using castset diamond bits. Almostimmediately after Longyear had the bits in the field,the sales department started receiving inquiries fromaround the world regarding the availability of thediamond bit.As our surface-set diamond bit technologydeveloped, Longyear brand bits were put to usearound the world. In the 1960s, the Longyear Q wireline took the industry by storm and opened thedoor for widespread adoption of Longyear drillingtools and consumables.REVOLUTIONARY ENGINEERING1974 was an important year for Boart Longyear.Boart International became the sole owner ofLongyear. With the new found technical talent andcapital investment from Boart International, Longyearbecame the leading manufacturer of diamond bits.BIT HISTORICAL TIMELINE193019401930S: Diamond bittechnology developedby Boart Products1949: Key manufacturingpartnership formed toproduce Longyear bits1938: Longyear Cast Set diamonddrill bits launched5DIAMOND PRODUCTS195019701955: Longyeardevelops drillingsystem for NASA1950S: Powdermetallurgy first applied tosurface-set diamond bits Copyright 2019 Boart Longyear. All rights reserved.
It was during this transition when engineers in North Bay, Ontario secured a reliable source of highperformance synthetic diamonds which triggered the development of a completely revolutionary bitdesign – the impregnated-diamond bit. With decades of powder metallurgy experience behind them,Longyear engineers set out to develop a new crown which consisted of synthetic diamonds evenlydistributed throughout a composite matrix. This new design could drill further and faster than surface-setbits and it cut through much harder material. By 1980, 75% of our Canadian-produced bits were of thenew impregnated type and Longyear was manufacturing diamond bits in more than eight countries.CONTINUED INNOVATIONToday, there are many marketers of diamond bits and very few of those companies have invested inbit development. Boart Longyear is dedicated to the development of diamond bit technology. You cansee it in our recent designs—such as the patented Stage waterway—and you can trust us to delivercontinued innovation.19801978: Synthetic diamondbits developed byLongyear Canada200020102002: Alpha Bit titanium-coated diamondtechnology launched2010: UMX line is launched20182018: Longyear Bits line launched2007: Stage waterway designis launched Copyright 2019 Boart Longyear.

Avariety of types are available to maximize drill lifeand penetration.STAGE WATERWAYSThe innovative Stage waterway design pushes theenvelope by allowing the tallest crown height in theindustry. The Stage waterway design lets you spendmore time drilling and less time tripping rods.The crown is made up of metal powder anddiamond matrix that wears away during the drillingprocess and exposes new layers of diamonds,renewing the cutting points for more meters perbit.Armed with substantial driller feedback and thegoal of producing the best bit on the market,Boart Longyear engineers set out to expand theStage waterway design. The bit provides a newbenchmark for reliable, cost-effective productivityin any ground condition.LONGYEAR BITSThe Longyear Bits are similar to largediamond bits, but with the easy, smooth drillingcharacteristics drillers prefer. This meansincreased productivity throughout the entireoperation, and ultimately more core.To support higher penetration rates, the newLongyear formulas are combined with a new, moreopen, express geometry. Tapered intermediatewaterways improve flushing and preventaccumulation of debris. Designed for fast cuttingin competent ground, the new express geometryis available in our 16mm crown heights to maintainbit life at higher cutting speeds.7DIAMOND PRODUCTSThe new design features an expansion of ourpatented window design to improve productivity,a revised window layout to increase strength,and our patented Razorcut face design whichprovides the driller with a ready-to-cut bit rightout of the box and provides excellent tracking tomaintain straightness while drilling.The Stage waterway option is available in both16mm and 25mm crown heights. Stage is alsoavailable in face discharge for very soft or brokenground conditions. Copyright 2019 Boart Longyear. All rights reserved.
SPECIALTY BITSPOLYCRYSTALLINE COMPACTDIAMOND (PCD) BITSPCD bits are made for cutting softer formations athigh penetration rates. They typically have roundPCD cutters that can be replaced, extending thelife of the bit.THERMALLY STABLE DIAMOND (TSD) BITSThe TSD bit is used for fast penetration in soft/medium rock formations. TSD’s are a costeffective alternative for large stone surface setand PCD bits.TUYERE BITSTuyere bits are used for drilling holes throughrefractory bricks in smelters, named for thenozzles that inject air into smelting furnaces.SURFACE SET CORING BITSSurface set coring bits are typically used forhigher penetration rates than impregnated bitsin softer formations. They utilize a single layer ofnatural diamonds set in a hard matrix. Copyright 2019 Boart Longyear. All rights reserved.DIAMOND PRODUCTS8

CORE DRILLING BITGenuine Q double tube wireline systems areideal for use in most drilling conditions and areavailable for application in standard DCDMA holesizes (A, B, N, H, P).The Q-P system is similar to the Q and QTKdouble tube systems but includes a specializedcore lifter case and bit. These components enablechange in the water flow by creating a seal whichroutes water flow to the face of bit, away from theinner-tube – further improving core recovery.Q is a trademark of Boart Longyear.QTK systems are optimized to allow for a largercore sample while retaining the same hole, lowfluid pressure, and robust inner and outer-tubes.QTK systems are offered here in the A, B, and N*sizes.*NQTK also known as NQ211DIAMOND PRODUCTS Copyright 2019 Boart Longyear.

The liner isplaced inside the inner-tube. Q3 systems enableintegral core recovery when drilling coal, claybearing, or highly fractured formations.The liner, or split tube, retains the core sample inits received state for easier loading into sampletrays or for storage and subsequent presentationto the geologist.

CVD Diamond Pin Specimens The CVD diamond pin specimens were produced as follows: (1) a free-standing diamond film was pro-duced by the hot-filament CVD technique (ref. 5); (2) the film was brazed onto one end of a steel pin; and (3) the CVD diamond tip of the pin was then ground with a diamond wheel and polished with diamond powder.
