Superhard materials ranging in hardness between that of tungsten carbide and diamonds, are being evaluated for use as cutting elements in drill bits and as wear surfaces on stabilizers. Physical properties of the materials, a lab test, and prototype bit are discussed. Compounds considered potentially useful for drilling applications include boron carbide, titanium diboride, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and some other mixtures of boron carbide and titanium diboride have exhibited unusual qualities and exceed the wear resistance of the parent compounds in some applications.
