Description

PCBN cutter with nano-diamond film coating on surface and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of superhard material film preparation, and particularly relates to a PCBN cutter with a nano diamond film coating on the surface and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In recent years, as a novel superhard material, a polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride, PCBN) cutter is increasingly applied to modern precision machining, and particularly shows incomparable superiority in the fields of high-speed cutting, hard cutting, dry cutting and the like. PCBN is an artificially synthesized substance with hardness inferior to that of diamond, but unlike a diamond cutter, the PCBN cutter has poor affinity with Fe and is particularly suitable for cutting processing of ferrous metals; compared with a hard alloy cutter, the durability of the PCBN cutter is more than 10 times that of the PCBN cutter, the cutting force is small when the ultra-high strength material and the chemical active material are cut at high speed, and no accumulated chip tumor is generated in the cutting process; compared with a ceramic cutter, the PCBN cutter has higher hardness, wear resistance and heat conductivity, better chemical stability, thermal stability and processing red hardness, and can realize turning instead of grinding under specific cutting conditions, so that the processed workpiece has higher processing precision and surface quality, and meanwhile, the production efficiency is greatly improved. However, because the PCBN cutter has higher cost, if the PCBN cutter cannot ensure that the PCBN cutter has longer service life in the processing process, the production cost is increased, and meanwhile, the workpiece is scrapped and needs to be reprocessed due to severe abrasion of the cutter, so that the production efficiency and economic benefit are seriously affected. Therefore, it is of great practical importance to find a method of improving the wear resistance and the service life of a tool.
Covering a layer of diamond film on the surface of PCBN tool is an effective means of prolonging the service life. The existing chemical vapor deposition diamond film coating technology is mainly based on a hot filament chemical vapor deposition (Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition, HFCVD) method, but the HFCVD method is complex in process, and the prepared diamond film has the pollution of a filament and has great difficulty in improving the quality of the film. In addition, since the temperature of the filament in the HFCVD method is generally more than 2000 ℃, the filament material volatilizes into the reaction chamber, thereby introducing impurities into the thin film, reducing the purity of the diamond film, resulting in lower reproducibility and yield. In addition, the matrix material is mainly concentrated on diamond tools, hard alloy tools and ceramic tools, and the diamond film on the surface of the coated tools is mostly in the micron order. However, the micro diamond film has coarse and uneven grains, the surface of the coating is rough, surface polishing treatment is difficult to carry out, and meanwhile, larger abrasion and higher cutting force are generated when the cutter is contacted with a workpiece, so that the service life of the coated cutter is seriously influenced.
CN105861995A discloses a ZrTiN-MoS 2 A Ti/Zr laminated coating cutter and a preparation process thereof, wherein the cutter base material is high-speed steel, hard alloy, cubic boron nitride or diamond, and the cutter surface is MoS 2 The Ti/Zr lubricating coating comprises a Ti transition layer, a Ti/Zr transition layer, a ZrTiN hard coating and MoS from a substrate to the surface of the coating in sequence 2 A laminated composite structure of Ti/Zr lubrication coating alternation; the cutter has more coating layers, is prepared by adopting an arc plating and intermediate frequency magnetron sputtering composite coating method, and has more complex process flow and higher cost.
CN106637143a discloses a preparation method of MPCVD diamond film, which adopts inert gas Ar as catalytic gas in the deposition process to refine crystal grains of the diamond film, improve hardness of the diamond film, and improve quality of the diamond film; however, the inert gas Ar can cause the reduction of the hydrogen concentration, so that no enough active hydrogen atoms are used for etching the diamond film, and the non-diamond phase component is increased, thereby affecting the quality of the diamond film.
In summary, how to provide a continuous and compact film coating with a certain thickness on the surface of a PCBN tool, which is simple in process flow, ensures that the bonding force and supporting force between the PCBN tool and a substrate are not changed, and improves cutting performance is a current urgent problem.

According to the preparation method, a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition, MPCVD) process is adopted and optimized, a transition layer is not required to be prepared on a PCBN tool substrate or surface modification is not required, a nano-scale diamond film coating which is continuous and compact, high in adhesion strength, large in binding force, uniform in coating thickness and smooth in surface can be obtained by deposition, abrasion and cutting force generated when the PCBN tool is contacted with a workpiece can be effectively reduced, and the service life of the coated tool is prolonged; compared with the conventional hot wire chemical vapor deposition (Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition, HFCVD) process, the process flow is simplified, the problem of film growth stability caused by uneven wire drawing is avoided, the problem of pollution to the surface of a product due to hot wire breakage in the preparation process is avoided, and the qualification rate of the product is greatly improved.
The following technical scheme is a preferred technical scheme of the invention, but is not a limitation of the technical scheme provided by the invention, and the technical purpose and beneficial effects of the invention can be better achieved and realized through the following technical scheme.
As a preferred technical scheme of the invention, the pretreatment in the step (1) comprises ultrasonic cleaning and drying.
Preferably, the cleaning liquid used for ultrasonic cleaning is acetone.
Preferably, the time of the ultrasonic cleaning is 8to 12min, for example, 8min, 9min, 10min, 11min or 12min, etc., but is not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values within the range of values are equally applicable.
Preferably, the drying is performed in a thermostatted drying oven.
Preferably, the drying time is not less than 4 minutes, such as 4 minutes, 5 minutes, 6 minutes, 7 minutes, 8 minutes, or 9 minutes, but is not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values within the range are equally applicable.
The drying temperature is preferably 45 to 55 ℃, for example, 45 ℃, 46 ℃, 47 ℃, 48 ℃, 49 ℃, 50 ℃, 51 ℃, 52 ℃, 53 ℃, 54 ℃, 55 ℃, or the like, but is not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values within the range of values are equally applicable.
In the invention, the cutter pretreatment method comprehensively optimizes the surface purification and crystal planting process, and firstly, the adsorbate and the pollutant on the surface of the cutter are effectively removed by selecting a proper reagent, so that the microscopic quality of the surface is improved; and then adopting nano diamond powder to dry and throw until the nano diamond powder is bright, and increasing the activity and high-energy points of the surface of the cutter. Compared with ultrasonic treatment of diamond powder-containing suspension, the crystal planting process provided by the invention can obtain more defects such as scratches, dislocation and crystal boundaries, the defects provide nucleation work for diamond nucleation, and diamond powder chips remained in the defects on the surface of the cutter provide nucleation points for MPCVD deposited diamond, so that nucleation density is improved. Meanwhile, the nucleation growth mode enables the diamond film and the cutter to act by an anchor chain effect, so that the adhesive force of the film and the matrix is improved.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the nano-diamond powder in the step (1) has a particle size of 10to 500nm, for example, 10nm, 50nm, 100nm, 200nm, 300nm, 400nm or 500nm, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned values, and other values not mentioned in the above-mentioned value range are equally applicable.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the dry polishing time in the step (1) is 10to 25min, for example, 10min, 12min, 15min, 18min, 20min, 22min or 25min, but the present invention is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed in the range of the values are equally applicable.
In the present invention, the height of the base in the step (1) is 40to 55mm, for example, 40mm, 42mm, 45mm, 48mm, 50mm, 52mm, 55mm, etc., but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned values, and other values not mentioned in the above-mentioned range are equally applicable.
In the present invention, the height of the base has a certain influence on the quality of the final film formation. If the height of the base is too high, the ionization degree experienced by the sample contacting the center of the plasma is increased; if the height of the base station is too low, the distance between the plasma ball and the sample is increased, so that the plasma glow cannot completely cover the sample; both of which lead to reduced surface uniformity and film stability of the coating.
In the invention, the vacuumizing in the step (1) is carried out to the limit vacuum, so that the defect that the crystal texture quality of the nano diamond coating is poor due to the fact that the MPCVD system contains impurity gas is avoided, and the impurity content in the film is high.
As a preferable technical scheme of the invention, the first reaction source gas in the step (1) is H 2
Preferably, the second reaction source gas in step (1) is CH 4
Preferably, the CH 4 And H 2 The gas flow rate ratio is (0.5-8): 50, for example, 1:100, 1:50, 1:25, 3:50, 2:25, 1:10, 3:25, 7:50, or 4:25, etc., but is not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values within the range of values are equally applicable.
In the present invention, the CH 4 And H 2 The units of gas flow are "sccm".
In the invention, the proportion of the reaction source gas in the deposition process is important. If the carbon source (CH) 4 ) When the content is too high, H tends to be reduced 2 Concentration, a large amount of hydrocarbon groups adsorbed to the surface of the cutter, and the non-diamond phase component is increased due to the fact that no enough active hydrogen atoms etch the hydrocarbon groups, so that the purity of diamond in the film is reduced; in addition, too high a carbon source concentration can result in too fast nucleation and growth rates of the diamond grains, and film thickness is not easily controlled. If H 2 When the content is too high, the surface of the tool does not have enough hydrocarbon for forming diamond grainsGroups, resulting in a decrease in the deposition rate of the thin film coating; in addition, fewer hydrocarbon groups reduce the probability of secondary nucleation, and thus smaller size diamond grains cannot be obtained.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the power of the microwave in the process of generating the plasma ball in the step (2) is 500 to 700W, for example, 500W, 550W, 600W, 650W or 700W, etc., but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned values, and other values not shown in the above-mentioned value range are equally applicable.
Preferably, the pressure of the working chamber during the generation of the plasma ball in the step (2) is 8to 12Torr, for example, 8Torr, 9Torr, 10Torr, 11Torr or 12Torr, etc., but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned values, and other values not shown in the above-mentioned value range are equally applicable.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the deposition process of step (2), the power of the microwave is adjusted to 1000 to 2000W, for example, 1000W, 1100W, 1200W, 1300W, 1400W, 1500W, 1600W, 1700W, 1800W, 1900W, 2000W, etc., but the present invention is not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values within the range of values are equally applicable.
Preferably, in the deposition process of step (2), the pressure of the working chamber is 20to 60Torr, for example, 20Torr, 30Torr, 40Torr, 50Torr or 60Torr, etc., but the pressure is not limited to the values listed, and other values not listed in the range are equally applicable.
According to the preparation method, the volume and the density of the generated plasma ball are further controlled by cooperatively regulating and controlling the microwave power and the air pressure of the working cavity, so that the uniformity of the temperature field on the surface of the cutter matrix and the deposition rate and the growth quality of the film are improved. If the microwave power is too high during deposition, the intensity of the plasma is correspondingly increased, so that the surface of the cutter is bombarded more severely by ions, and the temperature of a cutter matrix is increased; if the microwave power is too small during deposition, the volume of the plasma ball is reduced, and the plasma density is reduced; both cannot obtain a high quality nanodiamond film with a uniform surface. If the working cavity air pressure during deposition is too large, the average free path of molecules is reduced, the average free path Cheng Bianduan of hydrogen atoms and carbon-containing groups is not easy to generate secondary nucleation when colliding with a cutter matrix, and diamond particles are easy to grow; if the air pressure of the working cavity is too small during deposition, the number of free radicals in the reaction chamber is reduced, and carbon elements capable of generating diamond are reduced to a certain extent, so that the growth rate of diamond is reduced, and simultaneously, more graphite and amorphous carbon in the film and the adhesive force between the coating and the cutter substrate are reduced, so that the cutting performance of the diamond coated cutter is finally affected.
Preferably, in the deposition process of step (2), the temperature of the susceptor is 600 to 900 ℃, for example 600 ℃, 650 ℃, 700 ℃, 750 ℃, 800 ℃, 850 ℃, 900 ℃ or the like, but not limited to the values listed, and other values not listed in the range are equally applicable.
Preferably, the time of the deposition in step (2) is 6 to 12 hours, for example 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, 11 hours or 12 hours, etc., but is not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values within the range are equally applicable.
In the invention, the preparation method effectively inhibits the growth of crystal grains through secondary nucleation, thereby improving the film quality and stability of the diamond coating.

Mu.m, for example, 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 11 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 14 μm or 15 μm, etc., but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned values, and other values not mentioned in the above-mentioned value range are applicable.
As a preferable technical scheme of the invention, the preparation method comprises the following steps:
(1) Firstly ultrasonically cleaning a PCBN cutter by using acetone for 8-12 min, then drying at 45-55 ℃ for not less than 4min, then dry-polishing in diamond powder with the particle size of 10-500 nm for 10-25 min, then placing the PCBN cutter on a base with the height of 40-55 mm, placing the base into a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition system, vacuumizing to limit vacuum, and introducing first reaction source gas after vacuumizing;

On the other hand, the invention provides a PCBN tool, and the surface of the PCBN tool is provided with the nano diamond film coating prepared by the preparation method.

Detailed Description
For better illustrating the present invention, the technical scheme of the present invention is convenient to understand, and the present invention is further described in detail below. The following examples are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to represent or limit the scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
The following are exemplary but non-limiting examples of the invention:
example 1:
the embodiment provides a preparation method of a cutter with a nano diamond film coating on the surface, and a process flow chart of the preparation method is shown in fig. 1.
The preparation method comprises the following steps:
(1) Ultrasonically cleaning PCBN cutter with acetone for 10min, drying at 50deg.C for 4min, dry polishing with diamond powder with particle size of 100nm for 15min to brightness, placing on a base with height of 40mm, vacuum-pumping in MPCVD system to limit vacuum, and introducing H 2
(2) Starting MPCVD system, setting microwave power to 600W, setting air pressure of working cavity to 10Torr, exciting H 2 Generating plasma balls and then introducing CH 4 Beginning deposition of the CH 4 And H 2 The gas flow ratio of (2) is 1:50, the microwave power is adjusted to 1500W in the deposition process, the gas pressure of the working cavity is 40Torr,and the temperature of the base is 700 ℃, the deposition is carried out for 10 hours, and the PCBN cutter with the nano diamond film coating on the surface is obtained after the deposition is completed.
The nano diamond film coating on the PCBN tool surface is characterized, the surface topography diagram is shown in fig. 2, the crystal grain topography diagram is shown in fig. 3, the cross section topography diagram is shown in fig. 4, the XRD diagram is shown in fig. 5, and the Raman spectrum diagram is shown in fig. 6.
As can be seen from fig. 2, the nano-scale diamond coating has been uniformly deposited on the surface of the PCBN tool, and the coated diamond film has the advantages of continuity, compact structure, high surface smoothness, obvious grain boundaries between grains, and obvious secondary nucleation at the grain boundaries, which indicates that the prepared nano-diamond film has higher quality.
As is clear from fig. 3, the diamond grains in the thin film coating layer have good crystallinity, are clustered, are typical nano-sized diamond structures, i.e., so-called diamond flower-like morphology, and have substantially uniform diamond grain sizes with an average size of 50nm or less.
As can be seen from fig. 4, the nanodiamond film does not grow in a columnar shape like a conventional film, but is a growth mode of grain stacking. This is due to the fact that during the growth of the nano diamond film, the secondary nucleation phenomenon appears on the surface of the film, the growth of crystal grains is restrained, the crystal grains are refined, and along with the extension of the deposition time, the diamond crystal grains are accumulated on the surface of the film. In addition, it was also observed from the cross-sectional morphology that the nanodiamond film surface was smooth and flat, which is consistent with the results obtained in fig. 2.
As can be clearly seen from fig. 5, there are two distinct diffraction peaks at 2θ=43.92° and 2θ=75.32°, corresponding to the (111) crystal plane and the (220) crystal plane of the diamond crystal, respectively, indicating that the nanodiamond film has higher crystallinity and grain orientation density.
As can be seen from FIG. 6, at 1332cm -1 A broad raman scattering peak (D peak) appears, indicating that the film contains a diamond phase. The reason for this broader peak is due to the overlapping of the D peak and the diamond characteristic peak in the vicinity thereof. At 1579cm -1 The G peak at corresponds to graphite and amorphous carbonStructure is as follows. At 1150cm -1 The characteristic peaks of the nano diamond which appear nearby show that the diamond components in the film are increased, the crystal grains are refined, and the purity of the film is higher. In addition, the drift amount of the G peak in the Raman spectrum is smaller, which shows that the residual stress in the film coating is smaller, and the quality of the nano diamond film is higher.
Example 2:
the embodiment provides a preparation method of a PCBN cutter with a nano diamond film coating on the surface, which comprises the following steps:
(1) Ultrasonically cleaning PCBN cutter with acetone for 8min, drying at 45deg.C for 5min, dry polishing with diamond powder with particle diameter of 10nm for 20min to brightness, placing on base station with height of 55mm, vacuum-pumping in MPCVD system to limit vacuum, and introducing H 2
(2) Starting MPCVD system, setting microwave power to 500W, setting air pressure of working cavity to 8Torr, exciting H 2 Generating plasma balls and then introducing CH 4 Beginning deposition of the CH 4 And H 2 The gas flow ratio of (2) is 4:25, the microwave power is adjusted to 1000W in the deposition process, the air pressure of the working cavity is 20Torr, the temperature of the base station is 600 ℃, the deposition is carried out for 12 hours, and the PCBN tool with the nano diamond film coating on the surface is obtained after the deposition is completed.

TABLE 1
