Abstract

See full text

A cutting element suitable for incorporation in a drill bit used for earth drilling is disclosed which comprises an abrasive layer of superhard material formed on a substrate support, the substrate and/or the abrasive layer being structurally modified to reduce and/or redistribute detrimental tensile stresses which occur at the periphery of the abrasive layer and at or near the interface between the abrasive layer and the substrate, and within the body of the substrate. The modified cutting element structure reduces the occurrence of fracturing and cutter degradation.
