Brazing Alloys For PDC Drill Bits

With its metallurgical expertise, Galtek offers high-durability solutions to meet the extreme demands of the oil and gas drilling industry through its specially engineered GA-8604 brazing alloy. Designed for PDC (Polycrystalline Diamond Compact) matrix-body drill bits, GA-8604 stands out with its high-temperature resistance, excellent surface adhesion, and flux-free application capability.


GA-8604: A Trusted Brazing Solution for Oil & Gas Drilling

GA-8604 is a manganese- and cobalt-alloyed copper-based brazing material specifically developed to withstand high pressure and temperature conditions in drilling equipment. It provides strong, long-lasting joints that resist vibration, impact, and abrasion during downhole operations.


Key Advantages of GA-8604 in the Drilling Industry

  • Optimized for PDC Drill Bits: Engineered for deep drilling applications with high-strength, high-hardness bonding performance.

  • Flux-Free Brazing: Can be applied directly without the need for additional chemicals, ensuring a cleaner process.

  • Granular Form – Fast and Practical Use: Ready-to-use granules eliminate the need for cutting or pre-processing.

  • Oxide-Free and Bright Surface: Ensures uniform wetting and filling with no voids, delivering maximum mechanical adhesion.

  • Superior Wetting and Flow: Spreads evenly and quickly during brazing, creating consistent and clean joints.

  • High Thermal Resistance: Resistant to thermal shocks and high torque environments.

  • Simplified Mold Cleaning: Leaves minimal residue after brazing, reducing post-process cleaning time.
