Customized Tungsten Carbide Button with Dome Button Design Made from 100% Virgin Tungsten Carbide

Brazing: One common method for attaching carbide buttons to drill bits is through brazing. This process involves using a filler metal that has a lower melting point than the carbide and the base material. The carbide buttons are placed in their designated positions on the tool, and then the brazing material is heated until it melts and bonds the carbide to the tool substrate.

Press-Fit: In the press-fit method, the carbide buttons are precisely manufactured to fit into corresponding cavities or holes on the tool substrate. The buttons are press-fitted into these cavities using hydraulic presses or mechanized equipment, creating a tight and secure bond.

Adhesive Bonding: Adhesive bonding involves using specialized adhesives to attach the carbide buttons to the tool substrate. The adhesive is applied to either the button or the substrate, and then the button is positioned and pressed into place.

Mechanical Fastening: Some carbide buttons are attached to tools using mechanical fastening methods such as screws, bolts, or rivets. Holes are pre-drilled in the carbide buttons and the tool substrate, and then fasteners are used to secure the buttons in place.

Sintering: In some cases, carbide buttons are sintered directly onto the tool substrate during the manufacturing process. Sintering involves applying heat and pressure to the carbide and substrate materials, causing them to bond at a molecular level.

Welding: Welding can also be used to attach carbide buttons to tool substrates. This method involves melting the carbide and/or the substrate material along the joint area and allowing them to solidify, creating a fused bond.
