abrasive formation

GBK English to French Science Mining & Minerals / Gems
Definition from Hacettepe University:
A rock consisting of small, hard, sharp-cornered, angular fragments, or a rock, the cuttings from which, produced by the action of a drill bit, are hard, sharp-cornered, angular grains, which grind away or abrade the metal on bits and drill-stem equipment at a rapid rate.
Example sentences:
Coiled tubing drilling was selected due to the small production casing and the aggressive curve section buildup rate in the hard, abrasive formation. (Hart Energy Publishing, LP )
In general, an impregnated diamond bit with a low identifying number such as “D2” would be used to drill a relatively soft, fractured and abrasive formation. (Dimatec Inc)
If used in the correct rock type then the drilling speed is faster than with other bits designs. These bits can't be used in soft and high abrasive formation rocks. (Rod Pietsch)

Definition from Société Belge de Géologie:
Une formation abrasive est une roche constituée de petits fragments durs, résistants et pointus. C'est aussi la poudre produite à partir de cette même roche par le matériel de forage qui s'use rapidement à son contact.
Example sentences:
La forme particulière que prend le bord supérieur d'une formation abrasive dépendra légèrement du motif particulier porté sur la surface du rouleau gravé utilisé dans la fabrication de l'abrasif appliqué. La forme que 1'on préfère entre toutes, définie par les bords supérieurs des formations abrasives... est, en général, une forme hexagonale. (European Patent Translation System)
hard abrasive formation : formation dure abrasive (Dictionnaire des sciences et techniques )
Les outils imprégnés sont adaptés aux formations abrasives et résistantes. (Étude des performances des outils aux diamants imprégnés pour le forage de formations quartzitiques dures et abrasives. Alessandro Macieri, Travail de Fin d’Études 2006-2007) (Faculté Polytechnique de Mons)
