近年の切削装置の高性能化はめざましく、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、切削加工は高速化の傾向にあるが、上記の従来被覆切削チップにおいては、これを鋼や鋳鉄などの通常の条件での連続切削や断続切削に用いた場合には問題はないが、特に切削速度が350m/min.を越える高速で切削加工を行なうのに用いた場合には、硬質被覆層の上部層を構成するα型Al23層にチッピング(微少欠け)が発生し易く、この結果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 performance of cutting equipment has been remarkable. On the other hand, there is a strong demand for labor saving and energy saving and further cost reduction for cutting, and along with this, cutting tends to be faster. The cutting tip has no problem when it is used for continuous cutting or intermittent cutting under normal conditions such as steel or cast iron, but the cutting speed is 350 m / min. When it is used for cutting at a high speed exceeding 1, the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the upper layer of the hard coating layer is likely to chip (small chipping), and as a result, in a relatively short time. At present, the service life is reached.

そこで、本発明者等は、上述のような観点から、上記のα型Al23層が硬質被覆層の上部層を構成する被覆切削チップに着目し、特に前記α型Al23層の耐チッピング性向上を図るべく研究を行った結果、
(a)上記の従来被覆切削チップにおける硬質被覆層の上部層を構成するα型Al23層の表面に、ウエットブラストにて、噴射研磨材として、水との合量に占める割合で15〜60質量%の酸化アルミニウム(以下、Al23で示す)微粒を配合した研磨液を噴射して、研磨すると、前記α型Al23層は、準拠規格JIS・B0601−1994に基いた測定(以下の表面粗さは全てかかる準拠規格に基いた測定値を示す)で、Ra:0.3〜0.6μmの表面粗さを示すようになるが、この結果の前記α型Al23層の表面を、ウエットブラストにてRa:0.3〜0.6μmの表面粗さに平滑化した被覆切削チップを用いても、切削速度が350m/min.を越えた高速切削加工では切刃部におけるチッピング発生を満足に抑制することはできないこと。
The present inventors have, from the viewpoint as described above, focuses on coated cutting tip α type the Al 2 O 3 layer described above constituting the upper layer of the hard coating layer, in particular the α-type the Al 2 O 3 layer As a result of research to improve chipping resistance of
(A) On the surface of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the upper layer of the hard coating layer in the above-mentioned conventional coated cutting chip, the ratio of the wet blasting material to the total amount of water as a spraying abrasive is 15 When the polishing liquid containing -60 mass% aluminum oxide (hereinafter referred to as Al 2 O 3 ) fine particles is sprayed and polished, the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer is based on the compliant standard JIS B0601-1994. (The following surface roughness indicates all measured values based on the standard), and Ra: 0.3-0.6 μm surface roughness is obtained. Even when a coated cutting tip having a surface roughness of Ra: 0.3 to 0.6 μm smoothed by wet blasting on the surface of the 2 O 3 layer was used, the cutting speed was 350 m / min. High-speed cutting that exceeds the limit cannot effectively suppress chipping at the cutting edge.

(b)一方、図2に概略斜視図で示される通り、上記の従来被覆切削チップにおける硬質被覆層の上部層を構成するα型Al23層の切刃稜線部を含むすくい面および逃げ面の全面に、通常の化学蒸着装置を用い、通常の条件、例えば表3に示される条件で、かつ、0.5〜5μmの平均層厚で、窒化チタン(以下、TiNで示す)層を蒸着形成した状態で、
上記(a)におけると同じくウエットブラストにて、噴射研磨材として、水との合量に占める割合で15〜60質量%のAl23微粒を配合した研磨液を噴射すると、上記TiN層(以下、TiN研磨材層という)は、前記Al23微粒によって粉砕微粒化し、TiN微粒となって前記Al23微粒の共存下で研磨材として作用し、硬質被覆層の上部層を構成するα型Al23層の表面を研磨することになり、この結果研磨後の前記α型Al23層の表面は、Ra:0.2μm以下の表面粗さにまで平滑化されるようになり、この上部層であるα型Al23層の表面がRa:0.2μm以下の表面粗さに平滑化した被覆切削チップを用いて、高速切削加工を行った場合、350m/min.を越える切削速度でも切刃部におけるチッピング発生が防止され、前記硬質被覆層は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。
(B) On the other hand, as shown in the schematic perspective view of FIG. 2, the rake face and clearance including the cutting edge ridge line portion of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the upper layer of the hard coating layer in the conventional coated cutting tip described above. A titanium nitride (hereinafter referred to as TiN) layer is formed on the entire surface using a normal chemical vapor deposition apparatus under normal conditions, for example, the conditions shown in Table 3 and an average layer thickness of 0.5 to 5 μm. With vapor deposition formed,
When a polishing liquid containing 15 to 60% by mass of Al 2 O 3 fine particles as a spraying abrasive in a ratio to the total amount of water is sprayed by wet blasting as in (a) above, the TiN layer ( Hereinafter, the TiN abrasive layer is pulverized and pulverized by the Al 2 O 3 fine particles, becomes TiN fine particles and acts as an abrasive in the presence of the Al 2 O 3 fine particles, and constitutes the upper layer of the hard coating layer will be polishing the surface of the α-type the Al 2 O 3 layer to the α-type the Al 2 O 3 layer surface after the results polishing, Ra: is smoothed to a surface roughness of not more than 0.2μm When the high-speed cutting was performed using the coated cutting tip in which the surface of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer as the upper layer was smoothed to a surface roughness of Ra: 0.2 μm or less, 350 m / min. Chipping at the cutting edge is prevented even at a cutting speed exceeding 1, and the hard coating layer exhibits excellent wear resistance over a long period of time.

(c)上記の通り、切削速度が350m/min.を越えた高速切削加工では、被覆切削チップの切刃部に懸かる負荷はきわめて高いものになるため、特にフライス切削の場合、工具本体への被覆切削チップの取り付けに際しては、きわめて高い締め付け力で取り付けが行なわれることになり、この結果被覆切削チップの工具取り付け孔周辺部の硬質被覆層に対する圧縮応力はきわめて高いものとなるので、特に上部層を構成するα型Al23層は、ビッカース硬さ(Hv)で約3000の高硬度を有することと相俟って、これに割れが発生し易くなり、これが原因で硬質被覆層に剥離やチッピングが発生するようになるが、図1に概略斜視図で示される通り、前記ウエットブラストに際して、工具取り付け孔周辺部を研磨せず、この部分のTiN研磨材層を残した状態にしておくと、前記TiN研磨材層は前記α型Al23層に比して、相対的に高い高温強度をもち、かつ、硬さの低いもの(Hv:約1950)であるため、工具本体への被覆切削チップの取り付けに際して、高い締め付け力の緩衝層として作用し、この結果前記α型Al23層に対する圧縮応力が著しく小さなものとなるなることから、剥離やチッピング発生の原因となる割れ発生が防止されるようになること。
以上(a)〜(c)に示される研究結果を得たのである。
(C) As described above, the cutting speed is 350 m / min. In high-speed cutting processing exceeding 1, the load applied to the cutting edge of the coated cutting tip is extremely high. Therefore, especially in the case of milling, the coated cutting tip is attached to the tool body with a very high clamping force. As a result, the compressive stress on the hard coating layer around the tool mounting hole of the coated cutting tip becomes extremely high. In particular, the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the upper layer has a Vickers hardness. In combination with having a high hardness of about 3000 at the height (Hv), cracks are likely to occur in this, and this causes peeling and chipping in the hard coating layer. As shown in the perspective view, during the wet blasting, the peripheral portion of the tool attachment hole is not polished, and the TiN abrasive layer in this portion is left. Since the iN abrasive layer has a relatively high high-temperature strength and low hardness (Hv: about 1950) compared to the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer, the coated cutting of the tool body is performed. When mounting the chip, it acts as a buffer layer with a high clamping force. As a result, the compressive stress on the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer becomes extremely small, preventing cracks that cause peeling and chipping. To be done.
The research results shown in (a) to (c) above were obtained.

In the presence of the TiN fine particles pulverized by wet blasting of the TiN abrasive layer and Al 2 O 3 fine particles as the spray abrasive, the abrasive layer around the tool mounting hole is left, and the hard coating layer The surface of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the upper layer is polished, and the surface roughness of the rake face and flank face including the cutting edge ridge line portion is measured based on the compliant standard JIS B0601-1994, Ra: The hard coating layer having a thickness of 0.2 μm or less is characterized by a coated cutting tip that exhibits excellent chipping resistance in high-speed cutting.

以下に、この発明の被覆切削チップの硬質被覆層およびTiN研磨材層、さらにウエットブラストで用いられる研磨液のAl23微粒に関して、上記の通りに数値限定した理由を説明する。
(a)硬質被覆層
(a−1)下部層のTi化合物層
Ti化合物層は、α型Al23層の下部層として存在し、自身の具備するすぐれた高温強度によって硬質被覆層の高温強度向上に寄与するほか、チップ基体とα型Al23層のいずれにも強固に密着し、よって硬質被覆層のチップ基体に対する密着性を向上させる作用を有するが、その全体平均層厚が3μm未満では、前記作用を十分に発揮させることができず、一方その全体平均層厚が20μmを越えると、特に高熱発生を伴なう高速切削では熱塑性変形を起し易くなり、これが偏摩耗の原因となることから、その全体平均層厚を3〜20μmと定めた。
The reason why the numerical values of the hard coating layer and the TiN abrasive layer of the coated cutting chip of the present invention and the Al 2 O 3 fine particles of the polishing liquid used in wet blasting are limited as described above will be described below.
(A) Hard coating layer (a-1) Ti compound layer of lower layer The Ti compound layer exists as a lower layer of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer, and the high temperature strength of the hard coating layer is high due to its excellent high-temperature strength. In addition to contributing to strength improvement, it has a function of firmly adhering to both the chip base and the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer, thereby improving the adhesion of the hard coating layer to the chip base, but the overall average layer thickness is If the thickness is less than 3 μm, the above-mentioned effect cannot be sufficiently exerted. On the other hand, if the total average layer thickness exceeds 20 μm, it becomes easy to cause thermoplastic deformation particularly in high-speed cutting accompanied by generation of high heat. Since it becomes a cause, the whole average layer thickness was set to 3-20 micrometers.

(a−2)上部層のα型Al23
上記のα型Al23層は、すぐれた高温硬さと耐熱性を有し、被覆切削チップの切削性能向上に寄与するが、その平均層厚が1μm未満では、所望のすぐれた切削性能を長期に亘って発揮させることができず、一方その平均層厚が15μmを越えて厚くなりすぎると、チッピングが発生し易くなることから、その平均層厚を1〜15μmと定めた。
(A-2) α-type Al 2 O 3 layer of the upper layer The α-type Al 2 O 3 layer has excellent high-temperature hardness and heat resistance, and contributes to improving the cutting performance of the coated cutting tip. If the average layer thickness is less than 1 μm, the desired excellent cutting performance cannot be exhibited over a long period of time. On the other hand, if the average layer thickness exceeds 15 μm, chipping tends to occur. The average layer thickness was set to 1 to 15 μm.

(b)TiN研磨材層
上記の通り、TiN研磨材層は、ウエットブラスト時に、研磨液に噴射研磨材として配合したAl23微粒によって粉砕微粒化し、TiN微粒となって前記Al23微粒との共存下で研磨材として作用し、硬質被覆層の上部層を構成するα型Al23層の表面を研磨するが、この場合、その平均層厚が0.5μm未満では、ウエットブラスト時における粉砕化TiN微粒の割合が少な過ぎて、研磨機能を十分に発揮することができず、一方、その平均層厚が5μmを越えると、研磨液に噴射研磨材として配合したAl23微粒とのバランスがくずれて、相対的に多くなり過ぎ、この場合も研磨機能が急激に低下するようになり、いずれの場合もα型Al23層の表面をRa:0.2μm以下の表面粗さに研磨することができなくなるという理由で、その平均層厚を0.5〜5μmと定めた。
(B) TiN abrasive layer As described above, TiN abrasive layer during wet blasting, the Al 2 O 3 fine formulated as injection abrasive in the polishing liquid milled micronized, the Al 2 O 3 becomes TiN fine Acts as an abrasive in the presence of fine particles, and polishes the surface of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the upper layer of the hard coating layer. In this case, if the average layer thickness is less than 0.5 μm, the wet When the ratio of the pulverized TiN fine particles at the time of blasting is too small, the polishing function cannot be sufficiently exerted. On the other hand, when the average layer thickness exceeds 5 μm, Al 2 O blended in the polishing liquid as a jetting abrasive is used. 3 The balance with the fine particles is lost and the amount is relatively too large. In this case as well, the polishing function suddenly decreases. In either case, the surface of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer is Ra: 0.2 μm or less. Polish to a surface roughness of Because it becomes impossible to determine the average layer thickness and 0.5 to 5 [mu] m.

(c)研磨液のAl23微粒の割合
研磨液のAl23微粒には、ウエットブラスト時にTiN研磨材層の粉砕化TiN微粒と共存した状態で、α型Al23層の表面を研磨する作用があるが、その割合が水との合量に占める割合で15質量%未満でも、また60質量%を越えても研磨機能が急激に低下するようになることから、その割合を15〜60質量%と定めた。
The Al 2 O 3 fine of Al 2 O 3 fine fraction polishing solution of (c) polishing liquid, in a state where at the time of wet blast coexists with pulverized TiN fine of TiN abrasive layer, the α type the Al 2 O 3 layer There is an action to polish the surface, but even if the ratio is less than 15% by mass or more than 60% by mass with respect to the total amount with water, the polishing function will rapidly decrease, so that ratio Was determined to be 15 to 60% by mass.

この発明の被覆切削チップは、硬質被覆層の上部層を構成するα型Al23層の切刃稜線部を含むすくい面および逃げ面が、Ra:0.2μm以下の表面粗さに研磨され、さらに工具取り付け孔周辺部に存在するTiN研磨材層が、工具本体への被覆切削チップの取り付けに際して、高速切削加工では不可欠の高い締め付け力の緩衝層として作用することから、前記α型Al23層に対する圧縮応力が著しく小さなものとなり、この結果剥離やチッピング発生の原因となる割れ発生が防止されるようになることと相俟って、各種の鋼や鋳鉄などの切削加工を、切削速度が350m/min.を越える高速で行うのに用いた場合にも、すぐれた耐チッピング性を発揮し、使用寿命の一層の延命化を可能とするものである。 In the coated cutting tip of the present invention, the rake face and flank face including the cutting edge ridge line portion of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the upper layer of the hard coating layer are polished to a surface roughness of Ra: 0.2 μm or less. In addition, since the TiN abrasive layer existing around the tool mounting hole acts as a buffer layer having a high clamping force, which is indispensable in high-speed cutting when attaching the coated cutting tip to the tool body, the α-type Al Combined with the fact that the compressive stress on the 2 O 3 layer is extremely small and, as a result, the occurrence of cracks that cause peeling and chipping is prevented, cutting of various steels and cast irons, Cutting speed is 350 m / min. Even when used for high-speed operation exceeding the above, excellent chipping resistance is exhibited, and the service life can be further extended.

つぎに、この発明の被覆切削チップを実施例により具体的に説明する。   Next, the coated cutting tip of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples.

After sintering, the cutting edge portion was R: 0.07 mm honing By processing, chip bases A to F made of a WC-based cemented carbide having a throwaway tip shape defined in ISO · CNMG120408 were manufactured.

Co powder and Ni powder are prepared, and these raw material powders are blended in the blending composition shown in Table 2, wet mixed by a ball mill for 24 hours, dried, and pressed into a compact at a pressure of 98 MPa. The green compact was sintered in a nitrogen atmosphere of 1.3 kPa at a temperature of 1540 ° C. for 1 hour, and after the sintering, the cutting edge portion was subjected to a honing process of R: 0.07 mm. TiCN base cermet chip bases a to f having a standard / CNMG12041 chip shape were formed.

ついで、これらのチップ基体A〜Fおよびチップ基体a〜fのそれぞれを、通常の化学蒸着装置に装入し、
まず、表3(表3中のl−TiCNは特開平6−8010号公報に記載される縦長成長結晶組織をもつTiCN層の形成条件を示すものであり、これ以外は通常の粒状結晶組織の形成条件を示すものである)に示される条件にて、表5に示される目標層厚のTi化合物層およびα型Al23層を硬質被覆層の下部層および上部層として蒸着形成し(図3参照)、
ついで、同じく表3に示されるTiN層形成条件でTiN研磨材層を、同じく表5に示される目標層厚で蒸着形成し(図2参照)、
引き続いて、上記のTiN研磨材層形成の被覆切削チップに、表4に示されるブラスト条件で、かつ表5に示される組み合わせでウエットブラストを施して、工具取り付け孔周辺部にTiN研磨材層を存在させた状態で、前記α型Al23層(上部層)の切刃稜線部を含むすくい面および逃げ面を、同じく表5に示される表面粗さに研磨することにより本発明被覆切削チップ1〜13をそれぞれ製造した(図1参照)。
Next, each of these chip bases A to F and chip bases a to f is charged into a normal chemical vapor deposition apparatus,
First, Table 3 (l-TiCN in Table 3 indicates the conditions for forming a TiCN layer having a vertically grown crystal structure described in JP-A No. 6-8010, and other than that, a normal granular crystal structure is shown. The Ti compound layer and the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer having the target layer thicknesses shown in Table 5 are vapor-deposited as the lower layer and the upper layer of the hard coating layer under the conditions shown in FIG. (See Fig. 3)
Next, a TiN abrasive material layer was formed by vapor deposition with the target layer thickness also shown in Table 5 under the TiN layer formation conditions shown in Table 3 (see FIG. 2).
Subsequently, the coated cutting tip for forming the TiN abrasive layer was wet-blasted under the blast conditions shown in Table 4 and in the combinations shown in Table 5, and the TiN abrasive layer was formed around the tool mounting hole. In the present state, the rake face and flank face including the cutting edge ridge line portion of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer (upper layer) are polished to the surface roughness shown in Table 5 in the present invention. Chips 1 to 13 were manufactured (see FIG. 1).

また、比較の目的で、表6に示される通り、上記TiN研磨材層の形成を行なわないで、ウエットブラストを硬質被覆層のα型Al23層の表面に直接施す以外は同一の条件で従来被覆切削チップ1〜13をそれぞれ製造した。
この結果得られた従来被覆切削チップ1〜13の硬質被覆層を構成するα型Al23層のウエットブラスト後の表面粗さを表6に示した。
For comparison purposes, as shown in Table 6, the same conditions except that the TiN abrasive layer is not formed and wet blasting is directly applied to the surface of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer of the hard coating layer. Conventionally, the coated cutting chips 1 to 13 were manufactured.
Table 6 shows the surface roughness after wet blasting of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the hard coating layer of the conventional coated cutting chips 1 to 13 obtained as a result.

また、上記本発明被覆切削チップ1〜13の硬質被覆層および研磨材層の組成、さらに従来被覆切削チップ1〜13の硬質被覆層の組成を、それぞれ厚さ方向中央部をオージェ分光分析装置で測定したところ、いずれも目標組成と実質的に同じ組成を示し、さらに同構成層の厚さを、走査型電子顕微鏡を用いて測定(縦断面測定)したところ、いずれも目標層厚と実質的に同じ平均層厚(5点測定の平均値)を示した。   In addition, the composition of the hard coating layer and the abrasive layer of the above-described coated cutting chips 1 to 13 of the present invention, and the composition of the hard coating layer of the conventional coated cutting chips 1 to 13 are each measured with an Auger spectroscopic analyzer at the center in the thickness direction. When measured, all showed substantially the same composition as the target composition, and when the thickness of the same constituent layer was measured using a scanning electron microscope (longitudinal section measurement), both were substantially the same as the target layer thickness. The same average layer thickness (average value of 5-point measurement) was shown.

表5〜7に示される結果から、本発明被覆切削チップ1〜13は、いずれも硬質被覆層の上部層を構成するα型Al23層の切刃稜線部を含むすくい面および逃げ面が、Ra:0.2μm以下の表面粗さに研磨され、さらに工具取り付け孔周辺部に存在するTiN研磨材層が、工具本体への被覆切削チップの取り付けに際して、350m/minを越える高速切削加工では不可欠の高い締め付け力の緩衝層として作用することから、剥離やチッピング発生の原因となる割れ発生が防止され、鋼および鋳鉄の高速切削加工で、すぐれた耐チッピング性を示し、長期に亘ってすぐれた切削性能を発揮するのに対して、硬質被覆層の上部層を構成するα型Al23層の表面粗さが、Ra:0.3〜0.6μmを示す従来被覆切削チップ1〜13においては、いずれも350m/minを越える高速切削加工では、工具取り付けに高い締め付け力を必要とすることと相俟って、前記α型Al23層にチッピングが発生し、比較的短時間で使用寿命に至ることが明らかである。 From the results shown in Tables 5 to 7, the coated cutting tips 1 to 13 of the present invention each have a rake face and a flank face including the cutting edge ridge line portion of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the upper layer of the hard coating layer. Ra: Polished to a surface roughness of 0.2 μm or less, and the TiN abrasive layer existing around the tool mounting hole has a high-speed cutting process exceeding 350 m / min when the coated cutting tip is attached to the tool body. Since it acts as a buffer layer with an indispensable high clamping force, it prevents cracks that cause peeling and chipping, and exhibits excellent chipping resistance in high-speed cutting of steel and cast iron, over a long period of time. A conventional coated cutting tip 1 in which the surface roughness of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the upper layer of the hard coating layer is Ra: 0.3 to 0.6 μm while exhibiting excellent cutting performance. ~ 13 Te, in both high-speed cutting of over 350 meters / min, I coupled with the fact that require high clamping force to the tool mounting, chipping occurs in the α-type the Al 2 O 3 layer, a relatively short period of time It is clear that the service life is reached.

上述のように、この発明の被覆切削チップは、各種鋼や鋳鉄などの通常の条件での連続切削や断続切削は勿論のこと、特に切削加工を350m/minを越えた高速で行う場合に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切削性能を発揮するものであるから、切削装置の高性能化並びに切削加工の省力化および省エネ化、さらに低コスト化に十分満足に対応できるものである。   As described above, the coated cutting tip of the present invention can be used not only for continuous cutting and intermittent cutting under normal conditions such as various steels and cast iron, but also when cutting is performed at a high speed exceeding 350 m / min. Because it shows excellent chipping resistance and exhibits excellent cutting performance over a long period of time, it can sufficiently satisfy the high performance of cutting equipment, labor saving and energy saving of cutting work, and further cost reduction.
