  •   Objectives  Polycrystalline diamond composite (PDC) drill bits are formed by sintering or inlaying polycrystalline diamond composite into the matrix of the drill bits, and are widely used in the engineering field due to their excellent performance. Compared with steel-body PDC bits, matrix-body PDC bits have superior abrasion resistance and erosion resistance. However, under extremely severe working conditions, the matrix-body PDC drill body material still faces challenges in practical applications, and the preparation process of the drill matrix material is complicated and cumbersome. Therefore, it has become an inevitable trend to prepare drill matrix materials with excellent performance through more efficient preparation methods.   Methods  Ni-Cu/diamond composites, as potential PDC drill bit matrix, are successfully prepared by electron beam selective melting (EBSM). The effects of diamond content on the wear resistance and erosion resistance of Ni-Cu/diamond composites changes are systematically investigated.  Results  The results show that the wear ratio of the specimens first increases and then decreases as the volume fraction of diamond increases from 10% to 35%, while the erosion resistance shows an opposite trend. When the volume fraction of diamond is below 25%, the lower content of diamond is sparsely distributed in the metal matrix. At this time, the advantages of its high hardness contribute less to the overall abrasion resistance and erosion resistance of the composite specimens, with the metal matrix occupying the main position. In this diamond content range, the wear ratio of the sample is relatively small but increases with the increase of diamond content, while the weight loss after the erosion test is large but decreases with the increase of diamond content. When the volume fraction of diamond reaches 25%, the diamond particles are uniformly distributed in the metal matrix and tightly bonded to it, significantly enhancing the wear and erosion resistance of the sample. Meanwhile, the wear ratio reaches the maximum value of 1.09, while the weight loss after the erosion test reaches the minimum value of 7.15 mg. However, when the volume fraction of diamond increases to 30% and 35%, excessive diamond particles in the matrix exhibit large-scale agglomeration and direct connection. Due to the loss of the metal matrix's ability to bind and hold them, the diamond particles fall off in clumps during wear and erosion tests, resulting in a significant decrease in wear resistance and erosion resistance of the specimens.   Conclusions  The wear resistance and erosion resistance of PDC bit matrix materials are key factors determining the overall performance of PDC bits, as expressed by the above wear rate and weight loss after erosion tests. Therefore, it can be concluded that when the diamond volume fraction is 25%, the overall wear resistance of the Ni-Cu/diamond composite material reaches its best level.
