摘要 |
Earth-boring tools comprising bodies with one or more thermally conductive insert support regions and one or more inserts secured to the one or more insert support regions are disclosed. The inserts may each comprise an insert body, which may be secured to the one or more insert support regions of the body. In some embodiments, one or more insert support regions of the body may have a thermal conductivity similar to the thermal conductivity of the insert body of the one or more inserts. In additional embodiments, one or more insert support regions of the body may have a thermal conductivity that is greater than the thermal conductivity of the insert body of the one or more inserts. In further embodiments, methods of forming earth-boring tools comprising bodies with one or more thermally conductive insert support regions are disclosed. |
