EHouston, eTexas – Abaphandi kwinkampani ephambili yetekhnoloji yeoyile negesi benze inkqubela phambili ekuphuhlisweni kwezixhobo zokusika zePDC. Izixhobo zokusika zePolycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) zizinto ezibalulekileyo kwiibhithi zokubhola ezisetyenziswa ekuphononongeni nasekuveliseni ioyile negesi. Zenziwe ngomaleko obhityileyo weekristale zedayimani zoshishino ezidityaniswe kwi-tungsten carbide substrate. Izixhobo zokusika zePDC zisetyenziselwa ukusika kwiindawo eziqinileyo ukuze kufumaneke iindawo zokugcina ioyile negesi.
Izicucu ezintsha zePDC ezenziwe ngabaphandi zinokumelana nokuguguleka okuphezulu kunezicucu zePDC ezikhoyo. Abaphandi basebenzise indlela entsha yokwenza iikristale zedayimani ezenza ezi zicucu, nto leyo ebangele ukuba isicucu sihlale ixesha elide kwaye siqine.
“Ii-cutter zethu ezintsha ze-PDC zinokumelana nokuguguleka okuphindwe kathathu kunee-cutter ze-PDC ezikhoyo,” utshilo uGqr. Sarah Johnson, umphandi okhokelayo kule projekthi. “Oku kuthetha ukuba ziya kuhlala ixesha elide kwaye azidingi ukutshintshwa rhoqo, nto leyo eya kubangela ukuba abathengi bethu bonge imali eninzi.”
Uphuhliso lwezixhobo zokusika ezintsha zePDC yimpumelelo enkulu kushishino lweoyile negesi, oluxhomekeke kakhulu kubuchwepheshe bokugrumba ukuze lufikelele kwiindawo ezigciniweyo zeoyile negesi. Ixabiso lokugrumba linokuba ngumqobo omkhulu ekungeneni kweli shishini, kwaye naluphi na uphuhliso lwezobuchwepheshe olunciphisa iindleko nolonyusa ukusebenza kakuhle lufunwa kakhulu.
“Ii-PDC cutters zethu ezintsha ziza kunceda abathengi bethu ukuba bagrumbe ngokufanelekileyo nangexabiso eliphantsi,” utshilo uTom Smith, i-CEO yenkampani yetekhnoloji yeoyile negesi. “Oku kuza kubavumela ukuba bafikelele kwiindawo zokugcina ioyile negesi ezazingafikeleleki ngaphambili kwaye kwandiswe inzuzo yabo.”
Uphuhliso lwezixhobo zokusika ezintsha zePDC yayilumzamo wentsebenziswano phakathi kwenkampani yetekhnoloji yeoyile negesi kunye neeyunivesithi ezininzi eziphambili. Iqela lophando lisebenzise iindlela zesayensi yezinto eziphucukileyo ukwenza iikristale zedayimani ezenza izixhobo zokusika. Iqela likwasebenzise nezixhobo zanamhlanje ukuvavanya ukumelana nokuguguleka kunye nokuqina kwezi zixhobo zintsha.
Abasiki abatsha bePDC ngoku bakwinqanaba lokugqibela lophuhliso, kwaye inkampani yetekhnoloji yeoyile negesi ilindele ukuqala ukuzivelisa ngobuninzi kamva kulo nyaka. Le nkampani sele ifumene umdla omkhulu kubathengi bayo, kwaye ilindele ukuba imfuno yokuba abasiki abatsha ibe phezulu.
Uphuhliso lwezixhobo zokusika zePDC ezintsha ngumzekelo wotshintsho oluqhubekayo kwishishini leoyile negesi. Njengoko imfuno yamandla iqhubeka ikhula, eli shishini kuya kufuneka liqhubeke nokuphuhlisa ubuchwepheshe obutsha ukuze lifikelele kwiindawo zokugcina ioyile negesi ebezingenakufikeleleka ngaphambili. Izixhobo zokusika zePDC ezintsha eziphuhliswe yinkampani yetekhnoloji yeoyile negesi luphuhliso olunomdla oluya kunceda ekuqhubeleni phambili eli shishini.
