Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of micro-manufacturing, in particular to a preparation method of a micro-texture coating cutter for dry cutting.
Background
In recent years, the field of tribology research has proposed a concept of surface texture, also called surface microtexture. The surface microtexture technology is a method for improving the surface characteristics of a material by changing the physical structure of the surface of the material, and the surface texture is a lattice of patterns such as dents or convex hulls with certain sizes and arrangements. The micro texture is carved on the knife surface of the knife, the cutter performance of the knife is not affected, and the micro texture can store lubricating oil and abrasive dust, so that the wear resistance of the knife can be obviously improved. Research shows that the depth of the micro texture is an important factor influencing the performance of the micro texture coating cutter, and the bonding force of the coating can be improved when the micro texture is a micro-nano texture, but the influence on the frictional wear performance is small; when the depth of the micro texture is larger, the binding force of the coating cannot be guaranteed, but because the micro texture can store lubricant and abrasive dust, a layer of lubricating film can be formed on the surface of the cutter and the surface to be machined during cutter machining, so that the frictional wear performance and the machining quality of the cutter can be improved. However, there is currently no method for machining a microtexture on a tool at any position and coating the tool with a coating that provides the tool with both good coating adhesion and good frictional wear properties.

Example 1
Fig. 1 to 5 show a first embodiment of a method for manufacturing a microtextured coated tool for dry cutting according to the present invention, comprising the steps of:
s1, placing a cutter 1 in acetone and alcohol solution for ultrasonic cleaning for 20min respectively, then taking out the cutter 1 and drying the cutter, fixing the rear cutter face of the cutter 1 on a processing table by using a clamp, and placing the cutter face under an ultrafast femtosecond laser;
s2, after the step S1, adjusting an auxiliary positioning light source of the ultrafast femtosecond laser, positioning the cutter point of the cutter 1, and arranging microtexture array patterns 3 with gradient change in depth on the main rear cutter face and the auxiliary rear cutter face of the cutter 1 by the femtosecond laser according to the parameters of laser pulse energy of 20uj, frequency of 100KHz and scanning rate of 50 mm/S;
s3. after step S2, a coating process is performed on the main flank, the sub flank, and the rake face of the tool 1 by an arc process of PVD.
The micro-texture array pattern 3 is processed on the rear cutter face of the cutter 1, so that the specific surface area of the base body and the coating of the cutter 1 is increased; the microtextured array pattern 3 with the gradient change depth can have the functions of storing abrasive dust and rapidly cooling, so that the heat dissipation capacity of the coating is greatly improved, and the dry cutting service life of the cutter 1 is prolonged; the coating is paved by the PVD electric arc process, and the deposition efficiency and the binding force of the coating can be improved. The gradient change in the present embodiment may be a continuous monotonic increase, a continuous monotonic decrease, a decrease before an increase, an increase after an increase, or a combination of the above forms from the end near the cutting edge of the tool 1.
In addition, in step S2, the microtextured array pattern 3 is a plurality of grooves. The grooves can enable the microtexture array pattern 3 to have the functions of storing abrasive dust and rapidly cooling. Because the micro-texture array pattern 3 in the micron scale has a large number of nano-scale micro-textures, namely the nano-micro-textures exist in the groove, and the bottom of the groove is arc-shaped, the combination of the coating can be facilitated, and the nano-textures are beneficial to the heat dissipation of the coating.
Wherein, in step S2, the distance between the cutting edge of the cutter 1 and the groove is 1000-1200 um, and the distance between the cutting edge of the cutter 1 and the groove is 300-600 um. Specifically, the distance between the groove located on the main flank face and the main cutting edge of the tool 1 is 300-600 um, and the distance between the groove located on the auxiliary flank face and the auxiliary cutting edge of the tool 1 is 300-600 um. In this embodiment, the cutting edge of the cutter 1 is the intersection of the main flank face and the sub flank face. The degree of depth of recess is 1 ~ 30um, width is 70 ~ 100um, and the interval between the recess is 150 ~ 300 um. The above parameter settings can improve the dry cutting life of the tool 1.
In step S2, the grooves are linear grooves, the straight lines in the linear grooves along the length direction are parallel to the cutting edge of the tool 1, the number of the cycle periods of the linear grooves is at least 10, each cycle period includes 3 to 8 linear grooves, and the length of each linear groove is not greater than 6mm, as shown in fig. 5.
Specifically, the microtextured array pattern 3 in this embodiment includes 10 cycle periods, wherein 8 linear grooves with gradient depth are disposed in one cycle period, and the gradient change of the depth between the 8 linear grooves is divided into small, medium and large gradient changes. The degree of depth of eight linear grooves specifically sets up to 1.5um, 4um, 6.5um, 8um, 11.5um, 15um, 23um, 29um, and wherein 1.5um, 4um, 6.5um are the linear groove of less gradient change, and 8um, 11.5um are the linear groove of medium gradient change, and 15um, 23um, 29um are the linear groove of great gradient change, as shown in fig. 2. The other parameters of the linear groove are as follows: the distance between each linear groove and the cutting edge of the cutter 1 is 1000um, the distance between the linear groove on the main rear cutter face and the main cutting edge is 300um, and the distance between the linear groove on the auxiliary rear cutter face and the auxiliary cutting edge is 300 um; the length of linear recess is 6um, width for 70um, and the interval between the linear recess is 300 um.
In addition, in step S3, the coating layer is AlTiN coating layer 2. The setting of the AlTiN coating 2 can improve the high temperature resistance and wear resistance of the cutter 1. The AlTiN coating 2 is etched by adopting metal Ti ions, and the target material is Al(67)Ti(33). The device can ensure the uniformity of the coating, improve the adhesion capability of the coating, and remove moisture, oxides and tiny dirt on the surface of the metal by etching the metal Ti ions. It should be noted that the use of metal Ti ion etching is not the only option, and Ar ion or other metal ions may be used for etching. As shown in FIG. 3, a uniform coating can be processed under the parameters of 80A current, 500V working voltage, 1h working time, 500 ℃ temperature and 278sccm flow of introduced nitrogen.
As shown in FIG. 4, the cutting life of the cutter having the same AlTiN coating layer 2 was compared in the NC dry cutting test in which the lathe parameters were set to a spindle feed speed of 0.05mm/r, a back bite of 0.5mm, and a linear cutting speed of 120 m/min. As can be known from the figure, the wear of the rear tool face of the cutter reaches 300mm after 1200m of cutting of the cutter without the grooves with the gradient depth arranged on the rear tool face, namely the rejection mark of the cutter; the cutter with the grooves with the depth changing in a gradient manner is arranged on the rear cutter face, and under the condition that the grooves are parallel to the cutting edge of the cutter 1, the cutter can report waste after cutting 7000m, and the cutting life of the cutter is prolonged.

The embodiment is similar to embodiment 1, except that, as shown in fig. 6, in step S2, the grooves are linear grooves, a straight line along the length direction of the linear groove is perpendicular to the cutting edge of the cutter 1, the cycle period of the linear groove is at least 2, each cycle period includes 3 to 8 linear grooves, and the length of the linear groove is at least 12 mm.
Specifically, the microtextured array pattern 3 in this embodiment includes three cycle periods, wherein eight linear grooves with gradient depth are disposed in one cycle period. The depth of eight linear grooves is specifically 2um, 4um, 6um, 12um, 14um, 16um, 20um, 30 um. The other parameters of the linear groove are as follows: the distance between each linear groove and the cutting edge of the cutter 1 is 1200um, the distance between the linear groove on the main rear cutter face and the main cutting edge is 600um, and the distance between the linear groove on the auxiliary rear cutter face and the auxiliary cutting edge is 600 um; the length of linear recess is 12um, the width is 100um, and the interval between the linear recess is 150 um.
As shown in FIG. 3, the uniform coating can be processed even under the conditions of 150A of current, 40-minus, 60-minus, 80V of working voltage, 1h of working time, 500 ℃ of temperature and 500sccm of nitrogen gas flow.
As shown in fig. 4, in the case of a cutter having grooves with gradient depth on the flank and the grooves are perpendicular to the cutting edge of the cutter 1, the cutter will be discarded after 7000m cutting, and the cutting life of the cutter is improved.
