anchoring drilling rod and bits

Rock drill extension rods, as the name suggests, are elongated tools designed to extend the reach of rock drills, enabling workers to bore deeper and more precisely into hard rock formations. These rods are typically fabricated from high-grade steel alloys to withstand the intense forces generated during the drilling process. Their resilience is further bolstered by thermal treatment procedures that ensure a balance between toughness and flexibility, preventing fractures under pressure.

Despite their robustness, hard rock drill bits undergo significant wear during operation. Continuous research and development in materials science and engineering have led to advancements in bit design, increasing their durability and drilling efficiency. The use of advanced ceramics, heat treatment processes, and sophisticated computer-aided design (CAD) and simulation tools have all played a part in enhancing the performance of these bits.
