A rotary cone drill bit includes: a body, a leg depending from the body, a bearing shaft extending from the leg and a cone mounted to the bearing shaft. The leg includes a leading edge (at an outer surface or shoulder surface, for example) that is subject to wear during operation of the bit. A bottom surface of a hard material plate having an edge is attached to a conforming surface of the leg in a position where the edge of the hard material plate defines at least a portion of the leading edge of the leg. The attachment of the surfaces is made using a flowable material such as a brazing material. |
