Bit Materials Matter for Water Well Drilling Rig in Soft Soils

In water well drilling rig operations, bit materials deeply affect soft soil drilling results.

 

  1. Tungsten carbide bits excel in sticky clay—hard, smooth surfaces reduce adhesion.
  2. Titanium-alloy bits handle sandy loam better, resisting constant sand friction.
  3. Match edge materials to conditions: Tough alloys for pure clay; wear-resistant composites for clay-sand mix.

 

Ceramic-coated bits lower friction, cutting resistance. They boost efficiency by 20% in soft clay. Choose based on soil traits and value for water well drilling rigs.
