Abstract

See full text

Cutter elements for use in rolling cones rock bits are disclosed having a crown that includes multiple, spaced-apart cusps for enhancing formation removal by creating overlapping Hertzian contact zones. The cusps may be partially dome-shaped, berm shaped or otherwise. The cutter elements provide multiple cutting edges for engaging the formation and may have differing radii and extension length as suitable for particular applications.
