First Claim
Patent Images
1. A strike tip for a pick tool, comprising a strike structure joined to a substrate at an interface boundary, the strike structure comprising polycrystalline diamond (PCD) material and the substrate comprising carbide material;
- the interface boundary being dome-shaped, defined by a convex proximate end boundary of the substrate having a radius of curvature in the longitudinal plane of 5 to 20 mm and being free of a central depression;
the strike structure having a strike end opposite the interface boundary, the strike end including a rounded apex having a radius of curvature in a longitudinal plane of at least 3.2 mm and at most 6 mm; and
the thickness of the strike structure between the apex and the interface boundary opposite the apex being 2.5 to 10 mm.
