A method of manufacturing a rolling cone with hard-facing coating for use in drilling boreholes is disclosed. The method includes a step of depositing a layer of hardfacing material by an arc process, e.g., a gas-shielding tungsten arc welding process, a plasma-transferred arc welding process, or a metal inert gas arc welding process, over areas susceptible to erosion on the rolling cone surface. A rolling cone rock bit for drilling boreholes with a layer of hardfacing material deposited by an arc process either on the lands or in grooves or both of the cone surface is provided. Furthermore, a cone for attachment to the bit body of a rock bit with a layer of hardfacing material deposited on selected lands or in selected grooves or both of the cone surface also is provided. |
