皮膜の被覆過程で不可避的に混入する突起状粒子は、ドロップレット若しくはマクロパーティクルと呼ぶ場合もある。この突起状粒子は皮膜表面の面粗度を低下させ、皮膜の潤滑性や摩耗特性を劣化させる。その結果、切り屑の排出性低下による工具の折損や局部摩耗を誘発し、近年の高精度加工に於いては問題点である。そこでこれら問題点に対して改善の検討がなされている。
しかし、これらの潤滑性を改善するための単純な皮膜表面の突起状粒子の制限、もしくは皮膜表面の面粗度の規定では十分に潤滑性を改善することができない。
そこで本願発明の課題は、被覆部材が耐熱性や潤滑性に優れた表面状態となる被覆部材及び被覆部材の被覆方法を提供することである。
The protruding particles that are inevitably mixed in the coating process may be called droplets or macro particles. These protruding particles lower the surface roughness of the film surface and degrade the lubricity and wear characteristics of the film. As a result, tool breakage and local wear are induced due to reduced chip discharge, which is a problem in recent high-precision machining. Therefore, improvement of these problems has been studied.
However, it is not possible to sufficiently improve the lubricity by simply restricting the protruding particles on the surface of the film or by defining the surface roughness of the film surface in order to improve the lubricity.
Then, the subject of this invention is providing the coating | coated method of the coating | coated member and coating | coated member in which a coating | coated member becomes the surface state excellent in heat resistance and lubricity.

本願発明は、被覆部材に被覆された皮膜の金属成分は窒化物、炭化物、硫化物、硼化物、酸化物の何れか又はそれらの固溶体又は混合物であり、該皮膜表面には該固溶体又は該混合物と略同一組成の粒子を有し、該粒子は該皮膜表面から5nm以上、200nm未満の突起状粒子であることを特徴とする被覆部材である。本構成を採用することによって耐熱性や潤滑性に優れた表面状態となる被覆部材を提供することができる。   In the present invention, the metal component of the coating coated on the coating member is any of nitride, carbide, sulfide, boride, oxide, or a solid solution or mixture thereof, and the solid solution or mixture is present on the coating surface. The coated member is characterized in that the particles are protruding particles having a particle size of approximately 5 nm or more and less than 200 nm from the surface of the coating. By employing this configuration, it is possible to provide a covering member that has a surface state excellent in heat resistance and lubricity.

本願発明の被覆部材について、皮膜を構成する金属成分はSi、Al、Ti、Cr、Nb、Mo、B、Wから選択される少なくとも2種以上であること、また皮膜表面にある突起状粒子は、非金属元素の原子%を該金属元素の原子%で除した値をRとしたとき、0.3≦R≦0.6の範囲にあることが好ましい。突起状粒子の数は、該皮膜表面の任意に選択される10μmの範囲内に50個以上、500個未満であることが好ましい。被覆部材の被覆方法には物理蒸着法を採用し、この物理蒸着法はスパッタリング法(以下、MS法と言う。)、により被覆することが好ましい。 Regarding the coated member of the present invention, the metal component constituting the film is at least two selected from Si, Al, Ti, Cr, Nb, Mo, B, and W, and the protruding particles on the film surface are When R is a value obtained by dividing the atomic% of the nonmetallic element by the atomic% of the metallic element, it is preferably in the range of 0.3 ≦ R ≦ 0.6. The number of protruding particles is preferably 50 or more and less than 500 within an arbitrarily selected range of 10 μm 2 on the surface of the coating. A physical vapor deposition method is employed as a coating method for the covering member, and the physical vapor deposition method is preferably coated by a sputtering method (hereinafter referred to as an MS method).

本願発明によって、耐熱性や潤滑性に優れた表面状態となる被覆部材及び被覆部材の被覆方法を提供することができた。例えば切削工具に適用した場合、被加工物の仕上げ精度向上、工具の折損、局部摩耗を著しく低減させることが可能である。近年の高精度加工に於いて、部材寿命を改善した被覆部材及び被覆部材の被覆方法を提供することが可能となった。そして本願発明は生産性向上並びにコスト低減に極めて有効である。   By this invention, the coating | coated member used as the surface state excellent in heat resistance and lubricity, and the coating | coated method of a coating | coated member were able to be provided. For example, when applied to a cutting tool, it is possible to significantly reduce the finishing accuracy of the workpiece, breakage of the tool, and local wear. In recent high-precision machining, it has become possible to provide a covering member and a covering member covering method with improved member life. The present invention is extremely effective for improving productivity and reducing costs.

本願発明は、皮膜表面を5nm以上、200nm未満の突起状粒子であって、皮膜組成と略同一組成を有する固溶体又は混合物の突起状粒子に制限することにより、平滑性を維持しつつ、皮膜残留応力を低い状態にすることを可能にした。更に膜と基体との密着性を改善することができる。例えば切削工具に適用した場合、被加工物とは点接触のため摩擦係数を低減させることができる。更に、潤滑油や潤滑材等を皮膜表面に保持する効果に優れ耐摩耗性を改良することができる。一方、単純に皮膜のマクロパーティクルを低減させると、皮膜内の残留応力が増加し、高硬度化する。この場合には硬くて脆い特性を有する皮膜が形成され、基体との密着強度が低下する。ここで言う、本願発明の突起状粒子と、一般的に言うマクロパーティクルとは異なる形態を示すものである。突起状粒子は皮膜そのもの、或いは皮膜組成と略同一組成を有する固溶体又は混合物である。即ち、突起状粒子を構成する成分のうち、非金属元素の原子%をYとし、金属元素の原子%をXとしたときのY/Xの値をRとしたとき、R値が0.3≦R≦0.6の範囲で存在するものである。これに対して、マクロパーティクルは金属成分が主体であるため、R値は0.2以下のものであって区別される。
皮膜表面の5nm以上、200nm未満の突起状粒子は摩耗環境下において、優れた耐摩耗性を発揮する。そのメカニズムは、ナノサイズから構成される突起状粒子が硬質皮膜表面の表面積を増加させ、摩耗環境下でその界面に潤滑層を形成するためである。更にこの特徴的な突起状粒子は、金属成分としてSi、Al、Ti、Cr、Nb、Mo、B、Wから選択される少なくとも2種以上の窒化物、炭化物、硫化物、硼化物、酸化物の何れか又はそれらの固溶体又は混合物で構成される場合に形成され、優れた耐摩耗効果を発揮するために好ましい。
The invention of the present application limits the surface of the film to protruding particles of 5 nm or more and less than 200 nm, which are solid solution or mixture having substantially the same composition as the film composition, thereby maintaining the smoothness of the film. It was possible to make the stress low. Furthermore, the adhesion between the film and the substrate can be improved. For example, when applied to a cutting tool, the coefficient of friction can be reduced due to point contact with the workpiece. Furthermore, it is excellent in the effect of retaining lubricating oil, lubricant, etc. on the surface of the film, and wear resistance can be improved. On the other hand, when the macro particles in the coating are simply reduced, the residual stress in the coating increases and the hardness increases. In this case, a hard and brittle film is formed, and the adhesion strength with the substrate is lowered. The protruding particles of the present invention referred to here and the macro particles generally referred to show different forms. The protruding particles are the film itself, or a solid solution or mixture having substantially the same composition as the film composition. That is, among the components constituting the protruding particles, when the atomic% of the nonmetallic element is Y and the atomic% of the metallic element is X, the value of Y / X is R, the R value is 0.3. It exists in the range of ≦ R ≦ 0.6. On the other hand, since the macro particle is mainly composed of a metal component, the R value is 0.2 or less and is distinguished.
Protruding particles having a thickness of 5 nm or more and less than 200 nm on the surface of the film exhibit excellent wear resistance in a wear environment. The mechanism is that projecting particles composed of nano-size increase the surface area of the hard coating surface and form a lubricating layer at the interface in a wear environment. Further, this characteristic protruding particle has at least two types of nitride, carbide, sulfide, boride, oxide selected from Si, Al, Ti, Cr, Nb, Mo, B, and W as a metal component. It is preferable in that it is formed of any one of the above or a solid solution or a mixture thereof and exhibits an excellent wear resistance effect.

本願発明の皮膜表面にある5nm以上、200nm未満の突起状粒子は、皮膜表面の任意に選択される10μmの範囲に、50個以上、500個未満で構成される場合、優れた耐摩耗効果を発揮するため好ましい形態である。突起状粒子が任意に選択される10μmの範囲に、50個未満の場合、耐摩耗性は改善されない。また500個以上から構成される場合、皮膜が極めて脆くなり、耐剥離性が急激に低下し異常摩耗が進行する。但し、本願発明の突起状粒子は被加工物に接する部材表面のうち、どの部位であってもその効果を発揮することができ、必ずしも部材全体にわたって本願発明を満足する必要は無い。 Protruding particles of 5 nm or more and less than 200 nm on the film surface of the present invention have an excellent wear resistance effect when they are composed of 50 or more and less than 500 particles in the arbitrarily selected range of 10 μm 2 on the film surface. This is a preferable form. In the range of 10 μm 2 where the protruding particles are arbitrarily selected, when the number is less than 50, the wear resistance is not improved. Further, when it is composed of 500 or more, the coating becomes extremely brittle, the peel resistance rapidly decreases, and abnormal wear proceeds. However, the projecting particles of the present invention can exert the effect at any part of the surface of the member in contact with the workpiece, and it is not always necessary to satisfy the present invention over the entire member.

被覆部材の用途は、切削工具、金型、軸受け、ダイス、ロール等、高硬度が要求される耐摩耗部材である。切削工具としてはエンドミル、ドリル、ホブ、リーマ、ルーター、カッター、クリスマスカッター、ブローチ、刃先交換型切削インサート等の切削工具が最適である。これらの被覆部材は特に耐摩耗性の改善効果が大きく工具寿命が向上する。特に切削工具が転削工具であり、その部材直径が1mm未満の工具において、耐摩耗性の改善が著しく好ましい。
本願発明の物理蒸着による皮膜の被覆方法は、表面平滑性及び潤滑性の観点からMS法であることが好ましい。フィルター方式アークイオンプレーティング法(以下、FAIP法と言う。)、プラズマ化学蒸着法(以下、PCVD法と言う。)との組み合せにより被覆することもできる。以下、本願発明を実施例に基づいて説明するが、本願発明は下記実施例に限定されるものではなく、使用分野により適宜変更することができる。
The use of the covering member is a wear-resistant member that requires high hardness, such as a cutting tool, a die, a bearing, a die, and a roll. Cutting tools such as an end mill, a drill, a hob, a reamer, a router, a cutter, a Christmas cutter, a broach, and a cutting edge exchangeable cutting insert are optimal as the cutting tool. These covering members are particularly effective in improving the wear resistance and improve the tool life.

本発明例1と比較例31を比較すると、皮膜組成ほぼ同一であが、AIP法で被覆した比較例31はマクロパーティクルが多数存在し、面粗さの数値が大きかった。また突起状粒子が存在しないため、耐摩耗性が劣っていた。同様に、本発明例11に対する比較例32、本発明例19に対する比較例33においても同じ現象が確認できた。MS法を採用した本発明例1から28にFAIP法を用いた本発明例29及びFAIP法とPCVD法とを併用した複合プロセスの本発明例30も含めると、AIP法で被覆した比較例は何れも本発明例よりも劣る結果となった。また本願発明の構成を達成する上で、MS法が最適であった。本発明例1から本発明例6、比較例34、比較例35を比較した。突起状粒子の凹凸状態と個数について比較することができる。本発明例1から本発明例6は夫々の評価試験1から3について優れた結果を示した。また突起状粒子は、最上層の皮膜と略同一組成を有し、突起状粒子の凹凸は5nm以上、200nm以下であった。これらの本発明例から、突起状粒子の個数を50個以上、3500個未満とする条件が適していることを確認した。一方、比較例34は、突起状粒子の凹凸が5nmよりも低くなる場合であり耐摩耗性の改善は認められなかった。比較例35は、突起状粒子の凹凸が250nmの場合であり耐摩耗性の改善は確認されなかった。本発明例7の皮膜硬度は72GPa、本発明例8の皮膜硬度は28GPaの場合である。皮膜硬度としては72GPaでも許容範囲である。75GPaを超えると被覆後に剥離が生じ、耐摩耗性の評価ができない。皮膜硬度が28GPaの場合は、耐摩耗性が低下する傾向にある。好ましい皮膜硬度は30GPa以上、75GPa以下である。本発明例9、本発明例10は、面粗度が本発明例1と比較するとやや劣る。本願発明の好ましい面粗度の範囲は、0.5μmRy以下、且つ0.05μmRa以下である。本発明例12は、(TiSi)(NO)皮膜単一層の場合を示す。本発明例1と比較した場合、2層以上の積層膜として構成した方が、耐摩耗性に優れる結果となった。本発明例14は、最下層を約200nm被覆した後、膜厚が約2000nmまで最下層及び被覆層の両方の蒸発源を同時に稼動させ、被覆部材が回転機構を有していることから、実際にはナノ厚さの積層膜となっていた。その後、1000nmの最上層を被覆し、総膜厚を3000nmとした。混合積層膜を用いることにより、耐摩耗性を更に改善することが可能であり、好ましい本願発明の構成である。本発明例21も本発明例14と同様な成膜方法により作成した。本発明例20と比較しても耐摩耗性に優れていた。 本発明例15は、皮膜組成が(SiW)N、本発明例16は(SiCr)N、本発明例17は(SiTi)N、本発明例18は(SiAlCr)(NO)、本発明例22は(SiNb)N、本発明例23、本発明例24は(SiCrB)N、本願発明例25は(SiB)(NOC)、本発明例26は(SiAl)(NO)、本発明例27は(SiTiMo)(NOS)の場合を示した。これらは何れも比較例31、比較例32、比較例33に比べて、耐摩耗性に優れていた。特に本発明例27の(SiTiMo)(NOS)の被覆方法は、被覆装置内に複数配置したターゲットのうちSiTiターゲットとMoS2ターゲットを設置した蒸発源を同時に稼動させて成膜を行った。この場合、SiTiを高濃度で含有する層と、MoSを高濃度で含有する層との積層膜となっていると考えられる。本発明例28は、基体にVを含有しない場合を示す。本発明例1と比較すると、Vを含有した方が耐摩耗性に優れる結果となった。本願発明の皮膜と基体成分の相乗効果により、耐摩耗性を改善した結果である。基体のV含有量、Cr含有量が2.6重量%以上含有する場合は、切削初期でチッピングが発生し、耐摩耗性の評価ができなかった。   When Example 1 of the present invention and Comparative Example 31 were compared, the film composition was almost the same, but Comparative Example 31 coated with the AIP method had a large number of macroparticles and a large surface roughness value. Moreover, since there were no protruding particles, the wear resistance was poor. Similarly, the same phenomenon could be confirmed in Comparative Example 32 for Invention Example 11 and Comparative Example 33 for Invention Example 19. Including the present invention example 29 using the FAIP method and the present invention example 30 of the combined process using the FAIP method and the PCVD method in the present invention examples 1 to 28 employing the MS method, the comparative example coated with the AIP method is In either case, the results were inferior to those of the examples of the present invention. Further, the MS method was optimal in achieving the configuration of the present invention. Invention Example 1 to Invention Example 6, Comparative Example 34, and Comparative Example 35 were compared. It can compare about the uneven | corrugated state and number of protrusion-like particles. Invention Example 1 to Invention Example 6 showed excellent results for the respective evaluation tests 1 to 3. Further, the protruding particles had substantially the same composition as the uppermost film, and the unevenness of the protruding particles was 5 nm or more and 200 nm or less. From these examples of the present invention, it was confirmed that the condition that the number of protruding particles was 50 or more and less than 3500 was suitable. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 34, the unevenness of the protruding particles was lower than 5 nm, and no improvement in wear resistance was observed. In Comparative Example 35, the unevenness of the protruding particles was 250 nm, and no improvement in wear resistance was confirmed. The film hardness of Invention Example 7 is 72 GPa, and the film hardness of Invention Example 8 is 28 GPa. As the film hardness, 72 GPa is acceptable. If it exceeds 75 GPa, peeling occurs after coating, and wear resistance cannot be evaluated. When the film hardness is 28 GPa, the wear resistance tends to decrease. The preferred film hardness is 30 GPa or more and 75 GPa or less. Invention Example 9 and Invention Example 10 are slightly inferior in surface roughness to Invention Example 1. The preferable surface roughness range of the present invention is 0.5 μmRy or less and 0.05 μmRa or less. Invention Example 12 shows the case of a (TiSi) (NO) coating single layer. When compared with Example 1 of the present invention, a configuration in which two or more laminated films were formed resulted in excellent wear resistance. In Example 14 of the present invention, since the lowermost layer and the coating layer were operated at the same time until the film thickness was about 2000 nm after the lowermost layer was coated by about 200 nm, and the coating member had a rotation mechanism, It was a nano-thick laminated film. Thereafter, the uppermost layer of 1000 nm was covered, and the total film thickness was 3000 nm. By using the mixed laminated film, it is possible to further improve the wear resistance, which is a preferable configuration of the present invention. Invention Example 21 was also produced by the same film forming method as that of Invention Example 14. Even compared with Example 20 of the present invention, the wear resistance was excellent. Invention Example 15 has a coating composition of (SiW) N, Invention Example 16 has (SiCr) N, Invention Example 17 has (SiTi) N, Invention Example 18 has (SiAlCr) (NO), and Invention Example 22 Is (SiNb) N, Invention Example 23, Invention Example 24 is (SiCrB) N, Invention Example 25 is (SiB) (NOC), Invention Example 26 is (SiAl) (NO), and Invention Example 27 is The case of (SiTiMo) (NOS) is shown. These were all excellent in wear resistance as compared with Comparative Example 31, Comparative Example 32, and Comparative Example 33. In particular, the coating method of (SiTiMo) (NOS) of Example 27 of the present invention was performed by simultaneously operating an evaporation source having a SiTi target and a MoS2 target among a plurality of targets arranged in the coating apparatus. In this case, it is thought that it is a laminated film of a layer containing SiTi at a high concentration and a layer containing MoS at a high concentration. Invention Example 28 shows a case where V is not contained in the substrate. Compared with Example 1 of the present invention, the results containing V were superior in wear resistance. This is a result of improving the wear resistance by the synergistic effect of the coating of the present invention and the base component. When the V content and Cr content of the substrate were 2.6% by weight or more, chipping occurred at the beginning of cutting, and the wear resistance could not be evaluated.
