Abstract
Drill bits and associated methods of manufacture and use employ a pre-diffused mandrel bonded to a composite metal-matrix material. The pre-diffused mandrel includes a chemically altered surface composition that enhances the bond with the composite metal-matrix component formed by infiltrating a metal-matrix component with a binder. The chemically altered surface may be configured to reduce binder-rich zones adjacent the mandrel, mechanically interlock the with the composite metal-matrix component or prevent the formation of brittle intermetallic particles along the bond.
