ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A cladding process is disclosed wherein hard carbide cutter inserts, as well as polycrystalline diamond composites, are metallurgically bonded in- into an interior core of a drag bit body. The cladding is bonded onto the exterior surface of the core of the drag bit by a powder metallurgy process. A thin layer or coat- ing of a suitable metal, preferably nickel, is pro- vided on, for example, the carbide inserts prior to mounting into the core. The coating prevents degra- dation of the carbide through loss of carbon into the core during the powder metallurgy process and accommodates mismatch of thermal expansion between the cutter insert and the core.
