Abstract

The present invention relates to coated inserts for metal cutting applications containing at least one hard constituent of a carbide, nitride and/or carbonitride of the metals Ti, Ta, Hf, Nb, V, Zr and W or solid solutions thereof, in 3-20 weight-%, preferably 4-14 weight-%, binder phase. By using a binder phase comprising in solid solution: Co max 95 %, Ni max 95 % and Cr 3-25 % improved properties are obtained particularly in machining operations of intermittent character. Coatings comprising carbides and/or carbonitrides and/or oxicarbides and/or oxinitrides and/or oxicarbonitrides of titanium and/or Al2O3 are particularly useful.

Description

Coated cemented carbide insert for metal cutting appl ications.
The present invention relates to coated cemented carbide inserts with improved cutting properties being obtained as a result of modifications of the chemical and mechanical properties of the binder phase.
Cemented carbide grades for metal cutting applica¬ tions generally contain WC, γ-phase (a solid solution of generally TiC, NbC, TaC and WC) and binder phase, gene- rally cobalt. Their properties are optimized by varying the WC grain size, volume fraction of the binder phase and/or the γ-phase and by optimising the carbon content. One recent major improvement of the properties of coated cemented carbide is the introduction of binder phase en- riched surface zones.
Thus, two major groups of coated cemented carbide inserts for metal cutting are used today: one with even distribution of binder phase within the whole insert and one with binder phase enriched surface zones. The cemented carbides with binder phase enriched surface zones are mainly found in γ-phase containing grades whereas straight WC-Co grades have even binder phase distribution without said binder phase enrichment. In both these groups of cemented carbides the binder phase is based on cobalt containing varying amounts of tungsten and carbon in solid solution. In addition to tungsten or carbon, only very low contents of other ele¬ ments (mainly impurities) are present in the binder phase. In applications in highly corrosive environments e.g. wear parts in pumps, compressors or cutters in wood working industry ordinary WC-Co based cemented carbides fail due to corrosion attacks from various types of the corrosive media which react with and deteriorate the cobalt binder phase. In such applications binder phase alloys based on Co-Ni-Cr or Ni-Cr are used e.g. such as disclosed in EP-A-28620.
Surprisingly it has now been found that by using a cemented carbide with a corrosion resistant binder phase large improvements in tool life are achieved for coated cemented carbides in certain metal cutting operations. The invention relates to a coated cemented carbide for metal cutting applications. Said cemented carbide contains 3-20 weight-%, preferably 4-14 weight-% binder phase comprising in solid solution in weight-%: Co max 95, Ni max 95, Cr 3-25, preferably 5-15, and, optional¬ ly, W max 30, Mo max 15, Al max 2 and Fe max 70.
In a preferred embodiment the binder phase comprises in solid solution in weight-%: Co 20-80, Mo 1-6, pre- ferably about 2, Cr 3-15, preferably about 10 and rest Ni. V may be added up to 5 weight-%, preferably between 1 and 3 weight-%.
In yet a preferred embodiment the binder phase is nickel based and comprises in solid solution , in weight-%: Co max 30, Mo 1-6 and Cr 3-15.
In still a preferred embodiment the Co:Ni weight ra¬ tio in the binder phase is about 1:1 or about 3:1.
The carbon content should be between a lower value corresponding to the η-phase limit and an upper value corresponding to the stoichiometric carbon content. In certain embodiments the carbon content can be below the η-phase limit and thus the cemented carbide will contain also η-phase or other substoichiometric phases. 1-20 volume-% has been found suitable, preferably 3-10 vo- lume-%.
At too high carbon or chromium contents the brittle chromium carbide is formed and, thus, both chromium and carbon contents must be selected so that the formation of chromium carbide is kept at a minimum. The invention can be applied to inserts with even distribution of binder phase or, preferably, to inserts with a binder phase enriched surface zone up to 50 μm, preferably between 10 and 25 μ thick. The degree of the binder phase enrichment shall be between 1.2 and 2.5 times, preferably between 1.4 and 1.8, higher than the binder phase content of the rest of the insert. Such in¬ serts can be made e.g. using the technique disclosed in US 4,610,931. The cemented carbide is coated with wear resistant layers as known in the art using known CVD, MTCVD or PVD technique. MTCVD is a moderate temperature CVD-process using e.g. CH3CN gas and TiCl . If the total nickel con¬ tent is more than about 1.5 weight-% care has to be ta- ken to avoid the detrimental effects of nickel on the coating quality e.g. by using at least at the beginning of the coating process a rather low temperature, pre¬ ferably <960 °C.
Coatings comprising carbides and/or carbonitrides and/or oxicarbides and/or oxinitrides and/or oxicarbo- nitrides of titanium and/or AI2O3 are particularly use¬ ful. In a preferred embodiment at least one 0.3-5 μ , preferably 0.5-1.5 μm, interlayer comprising Ti(C,0) or Ti(C,0,N) or Ti(N,0) is deposited within a part of the coating containing titanium about 0.5-3 μm from the ce¬ mented carbide surface such as disclosed in Swedish Pa¬ tent Application 9400951-1.
The coating thickness shall be <30 μm, preferably 3- 16 μm. For milling applications the total coating thick- ness should be 3-7 μm and for turning applications the total coating thickness should be 5-16 μm.
The present invention is particularly useful in ma¬ chining of steel and cast iron when the cutting inserts are subjected to thermal and mechanical fatigue condi- tions. This is typical for milling operations but some- times it also occurs in certain turning operations with intermittent character.
The reason for the observed tool life for the coated cemented carbide according to the present invention is still not understood in detail. It is believed that through the cracks already present in the coating, or formed during the cutting within the cemented carbide or the coating, the binder phase is oxidised causing weak¬ ening of the areas close to the coating. By use of the more oxidation resistant binder phase compositions this type of drawback is largely decreased. The chromium ad¬ dition increases the binder phase oxidation resistance. However, addition of nickel both increases the oxidation resistance of the cobalt binder phase but also decreases the deformation hardening by stabilization of the FCC- structure of the cobalt phase.
The invention has been described with reference to cutting tool inserts of cemented carbide. It is obvious that the invention can be applied to coated cutting tool insert for metal cutting applications containing at least one hard constituent of a carbide, nitride and/or carbonitride of the metals Ti, Ta, Hf, Nb, V, Zr and W or solid solutions thereof in a binder phase.
