SFD’s PDC pick consists of an alloy steel body, a hardalloy tungsten carbide
holder and
a super-hard PDC cutter. Our PDC picks usesuper-hard,tough
PDC cutters as the pick tip instead of traditional tungsten carbide and usea
tungsten carbide mounting holder instead of steel to connect the PDC pick tip
to steel body.PDC cutters combine the hardness and abrasion resistance of diamond
with the impact resistance of tungsten carbide, and provide faster, more durable and
more cost-effective drilling, mining and pick/milling performance.
SFD PDC Mining Picks The mining pick is the cutting element in mining machines and heading machines used
in cutting coal beds and associated rock/overburden. The main performance issue for
mining picks are their wear resistance. To make a significant improvement mining pick
performance requires a fundamental change in their composition.
SFD’s R&D efforts have resulted in the development of the new SFD PDC mining
pick. By
using PDC tips instead of carbide tips, these mining picks achieve a
significant increase the wear resistance. The life of PDC picks in these applications
can be five to ten times longer than that of conventional tungsten carbide picks.
SFD PDC mining picks can be widely used in all types of mining machines, heading
machines, continuous miners and similar machines and applications. Mining equipment
equipped with SFD PDC mining picks achieve much greater efficiency due to the
reduction in downtime for pick replacement. This provides a significant increase in the
efficiency of the mining operation, and measurably lower costs.
The characteristics: u To use PDC insert as pick tips. u Suitable for a wide range of coal and similar mining / mineral applications. u PDC picks combine the hardness and abrasion resistance of diamond with the
impact resistance of tungsten carbide, which greatly increase wear resistance
of pick and prolong pick‘s life.
