Description
Our patented process of coating diamond bits while in the furnace creates a chemical bond between our diamonds and matrix.The bond acts stronger than the diamond itself and provides higher diamond projection (up to 80% compared to 40% for mechanical bonding) for improved flushing, higher penetration rates, and longer bit life.
LONGYEAR™ SHADOW™ MATRIX
Boart Longyear successfully created a chemical bond between large diamonds and our established Longyear matrix, which creates a stronger-than-diamond bond.
