Spanish term

matriz de la boca

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems
In an academic article about wear on rotary percussive drill bits:

Sobre el desgaste térmico, Osburn...estableció las curvas de dureza en función de la temperatura de trabajo para el carburo y el tungsteno y el cuarzo.... El desgaste térmico se clasificia a partir de estos trabajos. Steinmuller en 1991 estableció la temperatura de fallo térmico en torno a los 200°C. Estableció una tabla específica con sus experiencias, donde se muestra una escala de colores del acero de la matriz de la boca, que nos permite diagnosticar las temperaturas que se han alcanzado dentro del barreno.

I might be going out on a limb here, but I am going to pressume that "boca" is a typo for "broca" (drill bit), which would make so much more sense (to me, at least).

The occurrence of thermic wear (BB-T) of button bits depends on the effectiveness of the flushing system. Under normal circumstances button bits are cooled very effectively by their water flushing system so that tool temperatures normally don't exceed 40 oC. If no or insufficient flushing is available (i.e. insufficient air flushing, water-mist-drilling) thermal wear may occur. Wear types equal those of abrasive wear and wear due to material failures since high tool temperatures only increase those wear mechanisms. ***** When heated
above 200 oC specific temper colours (Table 1) may show on the steel body and can be used diagnostically to estimate the maximum tool temperature.

Table 1. Temper colours for tool steel (Steinmüller, 1991: Taf. 2.). ******

Colour detailed colour description temperature
yellow light yellow - yellow - gold 200-230 oC
brown/red yellow brown - reddish brown -
red - purple red 240-270 oC
violet/blue violet - dark blue - blue - light blue 280-320 oC
grey blue grey - grey 340-360 oC

At present there are two special wear types listed in the classification: Total wear down and widening of flushing holes. These types occur mostly independent from the geological circumstances:
