IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE PROCESS OF DRILLING WELLS IN COMPLEX CONDITIONS AT GEOLOGICAL PROSPECTING SITES

. The state considered the issues of increasing the durability of cutting material of drilling equipment with the help of chemical-physical treatment of the cutting part of the drill bit. A mathematical model is presented for the impregnation of metals by applied accumulations and precipitates, as well as changes in the strength characteristics of the material during the exclusion of materials, due to the formation of defects of various breeds. An experimental study of samples of a rock cutting tool in a pool-type "gamma-installation" with sources of Co 60 γ-quanta is presented. The effect of radiation irradiation with small doses of gamma rays in the imperfect region of the phases of hard alloy components, which leads to a change in the level of point defects of the Schottky-Frenkel type, is studied. As a result of this process, the density of defects decreases, the perfect area of microcrystals increases, which leads to the
