A hard, smooth, close-grained, siliceous sandstone; a ganister. Also spelled: calliard.
Industry:Mining
A hardenability test in which a standard test piece, 4 in (10.2 cm) long and 1 in (2.54 cm) in diameter, is heated to a predetermined temperature, rapidly transferred to a jig fixture, and quenched, under standard conditions, by a jet of water impinging at one end. When the specimen is cool, determinations of hardness are made along it from the quenched end. The diagram relating hardness to distance from the quenched end of the specimen is known as a hardenability curve.
Industry:Mining
A hardened steel having an open slit, an outside taper, an inside or outside serrated surface. In its expanded state, it allows the core to pass through it freely, but when the drill string is lifted, the outside taper surface slides downward into the bevel of the bit or reaming shell, causing the ring to contract and grip tightly the core which it surrounds.

A hardened steel or alloy noncore bit with a serrated face to cut or mill out bits, casing, or other metal objects lost in the hole. Also used to mill off the rose-bit dropper on a Hall-Rowe wedge.
