A tool for machining materials has a main part and one or more blades. The main part is made of a low-alloy steel. The socket is welded to the main part, and the blade edges are made of a hard metal. The hard metal contains at least 82 vol. % of tungsten carbide and a metallic binder made of a cobalt-nickel-based alloy. The hardness of the hard metal is greater than 1350 HV10. The socket has a sintered composite, and 40 vol. % to 60 vol. % of the composite is composed of a metal carbide and a metallic binder. At least 95 vol. % of the metallic binder is made of nickel, and the hardness of the composite is less than 800 HV10.

The present invention discloses a pressure-welded tool, wherein the method for manufacturing pressure-welded tool includes: heating a first joining surface of a first metal part carrying a tool head to a temperature above the recrystallization temperature of the first metal part; heating a second joining surface of a second metal part to a temperature above the recrystallization temperature of the second metal part; and end-to-end pressure welding together the heated first joining surface and the heated second joining surface until the temperatures of the first joining surface and the second joining surface cool down to below their respective recrystallization temperatures; accordingly a tool is manufactured using the above method.

A support assembly for a core drill uses an improved reinforcement. The reinforcement can include an extension extending between a center of the tool and a perimeter of the tool the extension can be a non-planar structure having a channel along a portion of the structure. The reinforcement can include a slanted element that can be associated with the extension, that can be formed monolithic with the extension, or otherwise combined with an extension. Multiple slanted elements can be used to form an extension. A top plate can be included for strengthening the reinforcement.

A method for replacing drilling segments of a drill bit, the drilling shaft (61) of which is connected to the drilling segments, with new drilling segments (32), having the steps of: severing the drilling shaft (61), plugging a cutting section (31) that comprises the new drilling segments (32) onto the severed drilling shaft (61), and connecting the cutting section (31) to the severed drilling shaft (61), wherein the cutting section (31) is connected to the severed drilling shaft (61) via at least three longitudinal weld seams (64) that are spaced apart from one another.

A drill bit for creating a borehole includes a drill shaft portion which has a tubular drill shaft, a receiving portion which has a cover and an insertion end, and a connecting device which connects the drill shaft portion and the receiving portion together releasably or non-releasably. The tubular drill shaft is configured as a welded spiral tube.

A support assembly for a core drill which utilizes an improved high strength spoked reinforcer. The reinforcer may be removably mounted a core drill tube by fasteners. A drive connection is removably mounted and centrally located on an outer disc of a pair of discs. The drive connection is adapted to connect with a drive shaft to cause rotation of the tube. The assembly can also include a split in the disc when the high strength spoked reinforcer is not welded thereto, thereby providing a means of water control. The high strength spoked reinforcer can be a separate piece that is bolted to the disc or can be integrally formed as one piece therewith.

A hole saw is disclosed herein. The hole saw can include a cylindrical body having inner and outer cylindrical surfaces concentric to each other about a first axis. The body can also extend along the first axis between first and second opposite ends. The hole saw can also include a plurality of teeth each including a tooth body and a carbide tip positioned on the tooth body and forming a tooth face. Each of the tooth faces can define one or more cutting edges. The teeth can be arranged in an alternating pattern including a first tooth in the form of a chisel tooth, a second tooth immediately behind the first tooth and in the form of an offset grind tooth, and a third tooth immediately behind the second tooth and in the form of a triple chip grind tooth.

A hole saw structure, which is cooperated with a hole saw arbor for performing a perforating operation, includes a cylindrical body and a blade set. The cylindrical body has a central chamber and includes an end surface and a peripheral wall. One end portion of the peripheral wall is connected around a circumference of the end surface, the other end portion of the peripheral wall is outwardly folded and overlapped around the peripheral wall so as to form a folded portion, the folded portion includes a folded end, and an inner diameter of the cylindrical body is smaller than an outer diameter of the folded portion. The blade set is disposed on the folded portion and includes at least two cutting teeth and at least two chip discharging notches.

Methods of machining a component including multiple dissimilar materials are disclosed. One method may include making a first cut in the component to remove at least a portion of a hardest material in the component and making a second cut in the component along a second cutting-path that does not include the hardest material. The first cut may expose a cut surface in the component and the second cut may extend through the cut surface. The cuts may be made using a turning operation and different cutting tools may be used for the first and second cuts. The hardest material may have a hardness of at least 50 HRC and the remaining materials may have a hardness of at most 45 HRC. The disclosed methods may be used to form a thrust face surface in a shell and sun gear assembly to extend tool life and reduce scrap.
