pneumatic rock hammer a powerful tool for breaking through

Material selection for integral drill rods is crucial to their performance and longevity. Typically made from high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide, these rods are heat-treated to withstand the stresses of high-speed drilling and the friction generated during thread formation. HSS offers a good balance of toughness and hardness, while carbide provides superior durability and cutting efficiency, making it ideal for drilling through harder materials.

The rock drill shank adapter is typically made from high-strength materials such as steel or alloy, ensuring that it can withstand the immense forces generated during drilling operations. It features a threaded connection at both ends, which allows it to securely attach to both the drill bit and the drill rig. This design not only ensures a tight fit but also facilitates easy replacement and maintenance of the drilling tools.
