Description
この発明は、特にステンレス鋼や高マンガン鋼、さらに軟鋼などの難削材の切削加工で、硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐チッピング性を発揮する表面被覆超硬合金製切削工具(以下、被覆超硬工具という)に関するものである。 This invention is a cutting tool made of a surface-coated cemented carbide alloy (hereinafter referred to as coated carbide) that exhibits excellent chipping resistance with a hard coating layer, especially when machining difficult-to-cut materials such as stainless steel, high manganese steel, and even mild steel. Tool).
一般に、被覆超硬工具には、各種の鋼や鋳鉄などの被削材の旋削加工や平削り加工にバイトの先端部に着脱自在に取り付けて用いられるスローアウエイチップ、前記被削材の穴あけ切削加工などに用いられるドリルやミニチュアドリル、さらに前記被削材の面削加工や溝加工、肩加工などに用いられるソリッドタイプのエンドミルなどがあり、また前記スローアウエイチップを着脱自在に取り付けて前記ソリッドタイプのエンドミルと同様に切削加工を行うスローアウエイエンドミル工具などが知られている。 Generally, for coated carbide tools, a throw-away tip that is attached to the tip of a cutting tool for turning or flattening of various steel and cast iron work materials, and drilling of the work material. There are drills and miniature drills used for processing, etc., and solid type end mills used for chamfering, grooving, shoulder processing, etc. of the work material. A slow-away end mill tool that performs cutting work in the same manner as a type end mill is known.
また、被覆超硬工具として、炭化タングステン(以下、WCで示す)基超硬合金または炭窒化チタン(以下、TiCNで示す)基サーメットで構成された超硬基体の表面に、
組成式:(Ti1-(X+Y)AlXBY)N(ただし、原子比で、Xは0.30〜0.70、Yは0.01〜0.10を示す)、
を満足するTiとAlとB(ボロン)の複合窒化物[以下、(Ti,Al,B)Nで示す]層からなる硬質被覆層を1〜15μmの平均層厚で物理蒸着してなる被覆超硬工具が知られており、かつ前記被覆超硬工具の硬質被覆層である(Ti,Al,B)N層が、構成成分であるAlによって高温硬さと耐熱性、同Tiによって高温強度を具備し、さらにBの含有によって一段と高温硬さの向上したものになっていることから、これを各種の一般鋼や普通鋳鉄などの連続切削や断続切削加工に用いた場合にすぐれた切削性能を発揮することも知られている。
Further, as a coated carbide tool, on the surface of a carbide substrate composed of tungsten carbide (hereinafter referred to as WC) -based cemented carbide or titanium carbonitride (hereinafter referred to as TiCN) -based cermet,
Composition formula: (Ti 1- (X + Y) Al X B Y ) N (wherein, X is 0.30 to 0.70, Y is 0.01 to 0.10 in atomic ratio),
A hard coating layer composed of a composite nitride of Ti, Al, and B (boron) satisfying the following conditions (hereinafter referred to as (Ti, Al, B) N) is physically vapor-deposited with an average layer thickness of 1 to 15 μm. A cemented carbide tool is known, and the (Ti, Al, B) N layer, which is a hard coating layer of the coated carbide tool, has high temperature hardness and heat resistance due to the constituent component Al, and high temperature strength due to the Ti. In addition, since it has been further improved in high-temperature hardness by the inclusion of B, it has excellent cutting performance when used for continuous cutting and intermittent cutting of various general steels and ordinary cast iron, etc. It is also known to demonstrate.
さらに、上記の被覆超硬工具が、例えば図2に概略説明図で示される物理蒸着装置の1種であるアークイオンプレーティング装置に上記の超硬基体を装入し、ヒータで装置内を、例えば500℃の温度に加熱した状態で、アノード電極と所定組成を有するTi−Al−B合金がセットされたカソード電極(蒸発源)との間に、例えば電流:90Aの条件でアーク放電を発生させ、同時に装置内に反応ガスとして窒素ガスを導入して、例えば2Paの反応雰囲気とし、一方上記超硬基体には、例えば−100Vのバイアス電圧を印加した条件で、前記超硬基体の表面に、上記(Ti,Al,B)N層からなる硬質被覆層を蒸着することにより製造されることも知られている。
近年の切削加工装置のFA化はめざましく、一方で切削加工に対する省力化および省エネ化、さらに低コスト化の要求は強く、これに伴い、切削工具には被削材の材種にできるだけ影響を受けない汎用性、すなわち、できるだけ多くの材種の切削加工が可能な切削工具が求められる傾向にあるが、上記の従来被覆超硬工具においては、これを低合金鋼や炭素鋼などの一般鋼や、ダクタイル鋳鉄やねずみ鋳鉄などの普通鋳鉄の切削加工に用いた場合には問題はないが、特に切粉の粘性が高く、かつ工具表面に溶着し易いステンレス鋼や高マンガン鋼、さらに軟鋼などの難削材(被削材)の切削加工を行った場合には、切削時の発熱によって被削材および切粉は高温に加熱されて粘性度が一段と増大し、これに伴なって硬質被覆層表面に対する粘着性および反応性が一段と増すようになり、この結果切刃部におけるチッピング(微少欠け)の発生が急激に増加し、これが原因で比較的短時間で使用寿命に至るのが現状である。 In recent years, the use of FA for cutting devices has been remarkable. On the other hand, there is a strong demand for labor saving, energy saving, and cost reduction for cutting processing. As a result, cutting tools are affected as much as possible by the type of work material. However, in the above-mentioned conventional coated carbide tools, there is a tendency to demand general steels such as low alloy steels and carbon steels. There is no problem when used for cutting of ordinary cast iron such as ductile cast iron and gray cast iron, but especially stainless steel, high manganese steel, and mild steel with high chip viscosity and easy welding to the tool surface. When cutting difficult-to-cut materials (work materials), the work material and chips are heated to a high temperature due to heat generated during cutting, and the viscosity further increases. Viscosity to the surface Sex and reactivity become increasingly more, as a result chipping in the cutting edge (small chipping) it increases rapidly, which is at present, leading to a relatively short time service life due.
そこで、本発明者等は、上述のような観点から、特に難削材の切削加工で、硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐チッピング性を発揮する被覆超硬工具を開発すべく、上記の従来被覆超硬工具に着目し、研究を行った結果、
(a)上記従来被覆超硬工具の硬質被覆層である(Ti,Al,B)N層を下部層として1〜5μmの平均層厚で形成し、これの上に上部層として酸化バナジウム(以下、VOMで示す。ただし、Mは酸素のバナジウム(V)に対する相対含有割合の変化値を示し、原子比で、VO、V2O3、V2O5、およびVO2などを示す)層を同じく1〜5μmの平均層厚で形成すると、前記VOM層は表面滑り性にすぐれ、この結果切削時の発熱で被削材(難削材)およびその切粉が高温加熱された状態でも切刃部(すくい面および逃げ面と、これら両面が交わる切刃稜線部)と被削材および切粉との間には常にすぐれた滑り性が確保され、前記被削材および切粉の切刃部表面に対する粘着性および反応性が著しく低減し、前記下部層である(Ti,Al,B)N層を十分に保護することから、(Ti,Al,B)N層のもつすぐれた特性が長期に亘って十分に発揮されるようになること。
In view of the above, the inventors of the present invention have developed the above-mentioned conventional coated super-hard tool in order to develop a coated carbide tool that exhibits excellent chipping resistance with a hard coating layer, particularly in cutting difficult-to-cut materials. As a result of conducting research with a focus on hard tools,
(A) A (Ti, Al, B) N layer, which is a hard coating layer of the above conventional coated carbide tool, is formed with an average layer thickness of 1 to 5 μm as a lower layer, and vanadium oxide (hereinafter referred to as an upper layer) thereon. , VO M, where M represents a change value of the relative content ratio of oxygen to vanadium (V), and represents VO, V 2 O 3 , V 2 O 5 , VO 2, etc. in terms of atomic ratio) When the same is formed with an average layer thickness of 1 to 5 [mu] m, the VO M layer is excellent surface slipperiness, even when this result workpiece by heat generated during cutting (difficult-to-cut materials) and its cutting scraps is high temperature heating Excellent slipperiness is always ensured between the cutting edge (the rake face and the flank face, and the cutting edge ridge line where these two surfaces intersect) and the work material and chips. The adhesiveness and reactivity to the blade surface are significantly reduced, and the lower layer (Ti, Al, B) an N layer from the fully protected, (Ti, Al, B) having excellent characteristics N layer may become to be sufficiently exhibited for a long time.
(b)一方、上部層であるVOM層と下部層である(Ti,Al,B)N層との密着性は十分でなく、特に断続切削を行った場合に前記の層間の密着性不足が原因でチッピングが発生し易いが、前記VOM層と(Ti,Al,B)N層との間に窒化バナジウム(以下、VNで示す)層を0.1〜1.5μmの平均層厚で介在させると、前記VN層は前記VOM層および(Ti,Al,B)N層のいずれとも強固に密着することから、これら両層間にはすぐれた密着性が確保されるようになること。 (B) On the other hand, a VO M layer and the lower layer is an upper layer (Ti, Al, B) adhesion to the N layer is not sufficient, the lack adhesion between the layers of especially when subjected to intermittent cutting There is easy chipping caused by the VO M layer and (Ti, Al, B) vanadium nitride between the N layer (hereinafter, indicated by VN) layer average thickness of 0.1~1.5μm the in the interposing, the VN layer the VO M layer and (Ti, Al, B) from that firmly adhered with any of the N layer, it comes to be ensured good adhesion to both of these layers .
(c)上記(a)および(b)で構成される硬質被覆層は、例えば図1(a)に概略平面図で、同(b)に概略正面図で示される構造のアークイオンプレーティング装置、すなわち装置中央部に超硬基体装着用回転テーブルを設け、前記回転テーブルを挟んで、一方側にカソード電極(蒸発源)として所定の組成を有するTi−Al−B合金、他方側に同じくカソード電極(蒸発源)として金属V(バナジウム)を配置したアークイオンプレーティング装置を用い、この装置の前記回転テーブル上の中心軸から半径方向に所定距離離れた位置に外周部に沿って複数の超硬基体をリング状に装着し、この状態で装置内雰囲気を窒素雰囲気として前記回転テーブルを回転させると共に、蒸着形成される硬質被覆層の層厚均一化を図る目的で超硬基体自体も自転させながら、基本的に、まず前記Ti−Al−B合金のカソード電極(蒸発源)とアノード電極との間にアーク放電を発生させて、前記超硬基体の表面に、下部層として(Ti,Al,B)N層を1〜5μmの平均層厚で蒸着し、ついで前記Ti−Al−B合金のカソード電極(蒸発源)とアノード電極との間のアーク放電を停止し、同じく装置内雰囲気を窒素雰囲気に保持したままで、カソード電極(蒸発源)である金属Vとアノード電極との間にアーク放電を発生させて、層間密着層としてVN層を0.1〜1.5μmの平均層厚で蒸着した後、前記金属Vとアノード電極との間のアーク放電を停止し、前記蒸着装置内の雰囲気を酸素雰囲気に切り替えた時点で、再びカソード電極(蒸発源)である金属Vとアノード電極との間にアーク放電を発生させて、前記VN層に重ねて上部層として1〜5μmの平均層厚でVOM層を蒸着することにより形成することができること。 (C) The hard coating layer constituted by the above (a) and (b) is, for example, an arc ion plating apparatus having a structure shown in FIG. 1 (a) in a schematic plan view and in FIG. That is, a rotating table for mounting a cemented carbide substrate is provided at the center of the apparatus, and a Ti—Al—B alloy having a predetermined composition as a cathode electrode (evaporation source) is sandwiched between the rotating table and the cathode is also disposed on the other side. An arc ion plating apparatus in which metal V (vanadium) is arranged as an electrode (evaporation source) is used, and a plurality of super A hard substrate is mounted in a ring shape, and in this state, the atmosphere inside the apparatus is changed to a nitrogen atmosphere, the rotary table is rotated, and a carbide base is formed for the purpose of uniformizing the thickness of the hard coating layer formed by vapor deposition. While rotating itself, basically, first, an arc discharge is generated between the cathode electrode (evaporation source) of the Ti-Al-B alloy and the anode electrode, and as a lower layer on the surface of the carbide substrate. The (Ti, Al, B) N layer is deposited with an average layer thickness of 1 to 5 μm, and then the arc discharge between the cathode electrode (evaporation source) and the anode electrode of the Ti—Al—B alloy is stopped. While maintaining the atmosphere in the apparatus in a nitrogen atmosphere, an arc discharge is generated between the metal V as the cathode electrode (evaporation source) and the anode electrode, so that the VN layer is 0.1 to 1.5 μm as an interlayer adhesion layer. After the vapor deposition with the average layer thickness, the arc discharge between the metal V and the anode electrode is stopped, and when the atmosphere in the vapor deposition apparatus is switched to the oxygen atmosphere, the metal which is the cathode electrode (evaporation source) again V and the anode electrode Arc discharge by generating a mean layer thickness 1~5μm as the upper layer overlaid on the VN layer can be formed by depositing VO M layer.
(d)上記の下部層、層間密着層、および上部層で構成された硬質被覆層を蒸着形成してなる被覆超硬工具は、特に粘性および粘着性の高いステンレス鋼や高マンガン鋼、さらに軟鋼などの難削材の切削加工で、下部層である(Ti,Al,B)N層がすぐれた高温硬さと耐熱性、さらにすぐれた高温強度を有し、かつ層間密着層としてのVN層の介在によって前記下部層との間にすぐれた密着接合性が確保されたVOM層の作用で、前記難削材からなる被削材およびその切粉との間にすぐれた表面滑り性が確保され、前記難削材および切粉の切刃部表面に対する粘着性および反応性は著しく低減された状態で切削加工が行われるようになることから、切刃部におけるチッピングの発生がなくなり、長期に亘ってすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮するようになること。
以上(a)〜(d)に示される研究結果を得たのである。
(D) The coated carbide tool formed by vapor-depositing the hard coating layer composed of the lower layer, the interlayer adhesion layer, and the upper layer is a stainless steel, a high manganese steel, and a mild steel that are particularly highly viscous and sticky. When cutting difficult-to-cut materials such as (Ti, Al, B) N layer, the lower layer has excellent high-temperature hardness and heat resistance, and excellent high-temperature strength, and the VN layer as an interlayer adhesion layer by the action of VO M layer adhesion bonding properties is secured for excellent between the lower layer by an intervening, excellent surface slipperiness between the workpiece and the chips made from the flame-cut materials is ensured Since the cutting and cutting of the difficult-to-cut material and the chips to the surface of the cutting edge portion are significantly reduced, no chipping occurs at the cutting edge portion, and the cutting process is performed for a long time. Excellent wear resistance To be like that.
The research results shown in (a) to (d) above were obtained.
この発明は、上記の研究結果に基づいてなされたものであって、超硬基体の表面に、
(a)1〜5μmの平均層厚を有し、かつ、組成式:(Ti1-(X+Y)AlXBY)N(ただし、原子比で、Xは0.30〜0.70、Yは0.01〜0.10を示す)を満足する(Ti,Al,B)N層からなる下部層、

This invention was made based on the above research results, and on the surface of the carbide substrate,
(A) having an average layer thickness of 1 to 5 μm and a composition formula: (Ti 1− (X + Y) Al X B Y ) N (wherein X is 0.30 to 0.70, Y in terms of atomic ratio) Represents a 0.01 to 0.10) (Ti, Al, B) lower layer composed of an N layer,
(B) an interlayer adhesion layer comprising a VN layer having an average layer thickness of 0.1 to 1.5 μm;
(C) an upper layer composed of VO M layer having an average layer thickness of 1 to 5 [mu] m,
It is characterized by a coated cemented carbide tool that forms a hard coating layer composed of the above (a) to (c) and exhibits excellent chipping resistance in cutting of difficult-to-cut materials. is there.
つぎに、この発明の被覆超硬工具の硬質被覆層の構成層に関し、上記の通りに数値限定した理由を説明する。
(a)下部層の組成および平均層厚
下部層を構成する(Ti,Al,B)N層におけるAl成分には高温硬さと耐熱性、同Ti成分には高温強度を向上させ、さらにB成分には高温硬さを一段と向上させる作用があるが、Alの割合を示すX値がTiとBの合量に占める割合(原子比、以下同じ)で0.30未満になると、相対的にTiの割合が多くなり過ぎて、所定の高温硬さと耐熱性を確保することができなくなり、この結果摩耗進行が急激に促進するようになり、一方Alの割合を示すX値が同0.70を越えると、相対的にTiの割合が少なくなり過ぎて、高温強度が急激に低下し、この結果切刃部にチッピングなどが発生し易くなることから、X値を0.30〜0.70と定めたものであり、さらにBの割合を示すY値がAlとTiの合量に占める割合で0.01未満では所望の高温硬さ向上効果が得られず、一方同Y値が0.10を超えると、高温強度が急激に低下するようになることから、Y値を0.01〜0.10と定めた。
また、その平均層厚が1μm未満では、自身のもつすぐれた耐摩耗性を長期に亘って発揮するには不十分であり、一方その平均層厚が5μmを越えると、上記の粘性の高い難削材の切削加工では切刃部にチッピングが発生し易くなることから、その平均層厚を1〜5μmと定めた。
Next, the reason why the numerical values of the constituent layers of the hard coating layer of the coated carbide tool of the present invention are limited as described above will be described.
(A) Composition and average layer thickness of lower layer (Ti, Al, B) The Al component in the N layer improves high temperature hardness and heat resistance, the same Ti component improves high temperature strength, and further B component Has the effect of further improving the high temperature hardness, but when the X value indicating the proportion of Al is less than 0.30 in terms of the proportion of the total amount of Ti and B (atomic ratio, hereinafter the same), relatively Ti As a result, the predetermined high temperature hardness and heat resistance cannot be ensured, and as a result, the progress of wear is accelerated rapidly, while the X value indicating the Al ratio is 0.70. If exceeded, the proportion of Ti becomes relatively small, and the high-temperature strength rapidly decreases. As a result, chipping or the like is likely to occur in the cutting edge portion, so the X value is 0.30 to 0.70. The Y value indicating the ratio of B is Al and T If the ratio of i to the total amount is less than 0.01, the desired high-temperature hardness improvement effect cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the Y value exceeds 0.10, the high-temperature strength suddenly decreases. The Y value was determined to be 0.01-0.10.
Further, if the average layer thickness is less than 1 μm, it is insufficient to exhibit its excellent wear resistance over a long period of time, whereas if the average layer thickness exceeds 5 μm, the above-mentioned high viscosity is difficult. In the cutting of the cutting material, chipping is likely to occur at the cutting edge, so the average layer thickness was set to 1 to 5 μm.
(c)層間密着層の平均層厚
その平均層厚が0.1μm未満では、上部層と下部層の間に強固な接合強度を確保することができず、一方その平均層厚が1.5μmを越えると、硬質被覆層の強度が層間密着層部分で急激に低下するようになり、これがチッピング発生の原因となることから、その平均層厚を0.1〜1.5μmと定めた。
(C) Average layer thickness of interlayer adhesion layer If the average layer thickness is less than 0.1 μm, it is not possible to ensure a strong bonding strength between the upper layer and the lower layer, while the average layer thickness is 1.5 μm. If it exceeds 1, the strength of the hard coating layer suddenly decreases at the interlayer adhesion layer portion, which causes the occurrence of chipping. Therefore, the average layer thickness was determined to be 0.1 to 1.5 μm.
(d)上部層の平均層厚
上部層を構成するVOM層は、すぐれた表面滑り性を有し、上記の通り被削材(難削材)および切粉に対する粘着性および反応性がきわめて低く、これは切削時に前記被削材が高温加熱された状態でも変わることなく維持されることから、下部層である(Ti,Al,B)N層を前記高温加熱された被削材および切粉から保護し、これのチッピング発生を抑制する作用を発揮するが、その平均層厚が1μm未満では、前記作用に所望の効果が得られず、一方その平均層厚が5μmを越えて厚くなり過ぎると、チッピングが発生し易くなることから、その平均層厚を1〜5μmと定めた。
(D) VO M layer constituting the average layer thickness top layer of the upper layer is excellent has surface slip characteristics were, as described above workpiece tack and reactivity to (difficult-to-cut materials) and chips are very This is low, and this is maintained without change even when the work material is heated at the time of cutting. Therefore, the (Ti, Al, B) N layer as the lower layer is cut into the work material and the cutting material heated at the high temperature. Protects from powder and exerts an action of suppressing the occurrence of chipping. However, if the average layer thickness is less than 1 μm, a desired effect cannot be obtained in the above action, while the average layer thickness exceeds 5 μm. If it is too much, chipping is likely to occur, so the average layer thickness was determined to be 1 to 5 μm.
この発明の被覆超硬工具は、硬質被覆層を構成する下部層の(Ti,Al,B)N層が、すぐれた高温硬さと耐熱性、さらにすぐれた高温強度を有し、かつ同層間密着層としてのVN層によって強固に密着接合した上部層としてのVOM層によって、被削材(難削材)および切粉との間にすぐれた表面滑り性が確保されることから、特に粘性および粘着性の高いステンレス鋼や高マンガン鋼、さらに軟鋼などの難削材の切削加工でも、すぐれた耐チッピング性を示し、長期に亘ってすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮するものである。 In the coated carbide tool of the present invention, the lower layer (Ti, Al, B) N layer constituting the hard coating layer has excellent high-temperature hardness and heat resistance, and excellent high-temperature strength, and has the same interlayer adhesion. by VO M layer as an upper layer was firmly adhered joined by VN layer as a layer, since the superior surface slipperiness between the workpiece (difficult-to-cut materials) and chips is ensured, in particular viscosity and Even when cutting difficult-to-cut materials such as highly sticky stainless steel, high manganese steel, and mild steel, it exhibits excellent chipping resistance and exhibits excellent wear resistance over a long period of time.
つぎに、この発明の被覆超硬工具を実施例により具体的に説明する。 Next, the coated carbide tool of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples.

Since it shows excellent cutting performance, it can fully satisfactorily cope with the FA of the cutting apparatus, labor saving and energy saving of cutting, and cost reduction.
