Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wear-resistant coated hard metal body, which consists of a hard metal base body, a metallic intermediate layer and at least one metal-free hard material layer.
  • the invention further relates to a method for producing this hard metal body.
  • DE-OS 2 528 255 discloses utility articles and decorative articles provided with a coating, the coating of which is 0.1 to 50 ⁇ m thick and consists of hard materials, the hard materials being the carbides and / or nitrides and / or borides and / or Silicides and / or oxides of the elements of 111th to Vl. Periodic table group are used.
  • DE-OS 2 528 255 it is also proposed to use one or more intermediate layers of metals or of alloys of metals and hard materials or of hard materials to improve the adhesive strength of the hard materials or to reduce thermal stresses.
  • both metallic and non-metallic substances come into question, such as. B. steels, cast materials, non-ferrous metals, light metals, hard metals, glass and ceramics.
  • the composite material known from CH-PS 542 678 is produced in that the intermediate layer material is deposited on the substrate by chemical reaction from the gas phase, the substrate material and intermediate layer material diffusing into one another, and in that the cover layer is chemically reacted from the gas phase on the intermediate layer deposits, with the cover layer material and the intermediate layer material diffusing into one another.
  • a wear-resistant coated hard metal body which is suitable as a tool for cutting and non-cutting shaping, is known with a metallic intermediate layer.
  • substrate material and interlayer material diffuse into one another.
  • the high temperatures of 900 to 1200 ° C. for the diffusion process are disadvantageous.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a wear-resistant coated hard metal body which consists of a hard metal base body, a metallic intermediate layer and at least one metal-free hard material layer which has wear properties and which allow its use as a tool for cutting and non-cutting shaping of metallic workpieces Intermediate layer is applied at much lower temperatures.
  • the metallic intermediate layer consists of molybdenum and / or tungsten, has a thickness of 0.1 to 2 J.Lm and is applied to the hard metal base body by a PVD process, which is applied during the application of the Intermediate layer has a temperature of 200 to 600 ° C.
  • a body designed in this way has wear properties which enable its use as a tool for the non-cutting and cutting shaping of metallic workpieces.
  • the metallic intermediate layer made of molybdenum and / or tungsten is applied to the hard metal base body by direct sputtering, since in this PVD process a particularly uniform sputtering of the molybdenum and / or tungsten onto the hard metal base body is achieved.
  • the properties of the intermediate layer according to the invention can advantageously be varied by replacing 0.1 to 49% by weight of the molybdenum and / or the tungsten with titanium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium and / or tantalum.
  • the object underlying the invention is further achieved by a method for producing the wear-resistant coated hard metal body, in which the metallic intermediate layer is applied to the hard metal base body by a PVD process, which is heated to a temperature of 200 to 600 ° C. during the application of the intermediate layer becomes.
  • a method for producing the wear-resistant coated hard metal body in which the metallic intermediate layer is applied to the hard metal base body by a PVD process, which is heated to a temperature of 200 to 600 ° C. during the application of the intermediate layer becomes.
  • the metallic intermediate layer is applied to the hard metal base body by direct cathode sputtering, since a particularly uniform sputtering of the intermediate layer is achieved with this PVD process.
  • at least one metal-free hard material layer is applied to the metallic intermediate layer by reactive sputtering or that at least one metal-free hard material layer is applied to the metallic intermediate layer by gas phase reaction.
  • the application of hard material layers by reactive sputtering or by gas phase reaction is known per se.
  • hard metal base bodies were used, which were designed as indexable inserts with the geometric shape SNUN 120408 and made of hard metal M15 (composition in% by weight: 82.5 WC, 11 (Ti, Ta, Nb) C, 6.5 Co ) passed.
  • the indexable insert was first treated in a CVD system at 1020 ° C. with a gas mixture of titanium tetrachloride, methane and hydrogen. After 60 minutes the temperature was lowered to 990 ° C and methane was replaced by nitrogen. After a total of 180 minutes, the oven heating was turned off and the insert was cooled in flowing hydrogen. A metallographic cut showed that a hard material double layer of titanium carbide and titanium nitride with a total thickness of 7.5 J.Lm had formed on the carbide insert.
  • a layer of titanium nitride was formed at a temperature of 350 ° C. on the indexable insert by reactive sputtering of a titanium target (cathode) in a gas atmosphere composed of 10% by volume nitrogen and 90% by volume argon and a pressure of 1 Pascal a thickness of 7.2 J.Lm deposited.
  • a 0.6 ⁇ m thick intermediate layer made of nickel was produced on an indexable insert by direct sputtering of a nickel target in an argon atmosphere, the indexable insert having a temperature of approximately 400.degree.
  • a titanium nitride layer was then applied to the intermediate nickel layer in the manner described in Example 2.
  • An intermediate molybdenum layer with a thickness of 0.6 ⁇ m was deposited on the indexable insert by sputtering a molybdenum target in an argon atmosphere.
  • the indexable insert had a temperature of approximately 400 ° C. during the deposition of the molybdenum intermediate layer.
  • a titanium nitride hard material layer was then applied to the molybdenum intermediate layer in the manner described in Example 2.
  • the indexable inserts were examined by metallographic methods, the layer thicknesses being measured and the bond between the base bodies and the layers being qualitatively assessed. With the help of the scratch test, in which a diamond cone tip is drawn over the layer with increasing contact load, a quantitative measure of the adhesive strength, the so-called critical load, could be determined. Finally, the edge retention of the coated indexable inserts was determined on a test lathe by machining a C60 steel shaft. The results of the tests are given in Table 1. The indexable insert coated according to Example 1 after the CVD process reached a critical load of 4.5 kg in the scratch test. In the machining test, a crater depth of 25 ⁇ m and a wear mark width of 0.15 mm were found after a turning time of 12 minutes.
  • the indexable insert coated according to Example 2 showed a critical load of only 2.5 kg.
  • the lower layer adhesive strength had an impact due to a higher crater wear and a larger wear mark width.
  • layer flaking was observed in the indexable insert coated according to Example 2.
  • the indexable insert according to Example 3 already showed so much scour wear after a turning time of 2 minutes that the machining test was terminated.
  • the indexable insert according to the invention according to Example 4 had a high critical load and thus also a high adhesive strength of the hard material layer. With regard to the wear characteristics, this indexable insert was superior to the comparison insert according to example 1.
  • An indexable insert was coated by direct sputtering with a molybdenum intermediate layer and then by reactive sputtering with a 2 ⁇ m thick aluminum oxide layer.
  • the temperature of the hard metal base body was approximately 400 ° C. during the two coating processes.
  • the critical load of the indexable insert coated in this way was determined to be 6 kg. In the absence of the molybdenum intermediate layer, the critical load was 1.5 kg.
  • an indexable insert was provided with an intermediate layer made of a molydane alloy which consisted of 0.07% zirconium, 0.5% titanium and the rest molybdenum. This intermediate layer also gave the subsequently applied titanium nitride hard material layer good adhesive strength and good wear properties.
