Zusammenfassung:A preform cutting element or rotary drill bit for use in drilling or coring holes in subsurface formations includes a cutting table (12, 13) of superhard material such as polycrystalline diamond. The rear face of the cutting table is bonded to a substrate (11) of less hard material, such as cemented tungsten carbide. A front portion (12) of the cutting table comprises a form of superhard material which is less wear-resistant than the superhard material forming the remainder (13) of the cutting table. The provision of the less wear-resistant superhard material at the front cutting faces reduces the tendency of the cutting table to spall.
