近年の切削装置の高性能化はめざましく、一方で切削加工におけ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、切削効率の向上を目的として、切削速度を高速化する傾向にあるが、上記の従来被覆工具においては、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、特にこれを、高熱発生を伴い、かつ、切刃部に大きな衝撃的・機械的負荷がかかる鋼や鋳鉄などの高速断続切削加工に用いた場合には、硬質被覆層の下部層を構成するTi化合物層および改質(Ti,Cr)CN層が高温強度を有しチッピングの発生を抑制し、また、同上部層のAl23層が高温硬さを具備するものの、耐摩耗性が十分であるとはいえず、また、前記従来の(Ti,Zr)CN層についても、耐熱性が不十分であるために切削加工時の高熱発生によって熱塑性変形、偏摩耗を生じやすく、そのため、耐摩耗性が低下し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 machines has been remarkable, while there has been a strong demand for labor saving and energy saving in cutting, as well as cost reduction, and along with this, the tendency to increase cutting speed for the purpose of improving cutting efficiency However, in the above-mentioned conventional coated tool, there is no problem when it is used for continuous cutting or intermittent cutting under normal conditions such as steel or cast iron, but this is accompanied by high heat generation, and When used for high-speed intermittent cutting of steel or cast iron, which has a large impact and mechanical load on the cutting edge, Ti compound layer and modified (Ti, Cr) that constitute the lower layer of the hard coating layer The CN layer has high-temperature strength and suppresses the occurrence of chipping, and although the upper Al 2 O 3 layer has high-temperature hardness, it cannot be said that the wear resistance is sufficient. For the conventional (Ti, Zr) CN layer Thermal plastic deformation by high heat generation during cutting because the heat resistance is insufficient, prone to uneven wear, therefore, the wear resistance is at present, leads to reduced relatively short time service life.

そこで、本発明者等は、上述のような観点から、上記の被覆工具の硬質被覆層の特に耐摩耗性の向上をはかるべく、これの下部層である(Ti,Zr)CN層に着目し、研究を行った結果、
(a)従来被覆工具の硬質被覆層において、下部層を構成する一つの層である(Ti,Zr)CN層は、例えば、通常の化学蒸着装置にて、
反応ガス組成:容量%で、TiCl:1〜5%、ZrCl:0.1〜1%、CHCN:0.6〜5%、N2:25〜45%、H2:残り、
反応雰囲気温度:750〜980℃、
反応雰囲気圧力:2.7〜13.5kPa、
の条件(通常条件という)で蒸着形成されるが、これを、
反応ガス組成:容量%で、TiCl:10〜15%、ZrCl:0.5〜3.5%、CHCN:3〜8%、N2:20〜40%、HCl:0.5〜2%、H2:残り、
反応雰囲気温度:800〜900℃、
反応雰囲気圧力:5〜20kPa、
の条件、すなわち上記の通常条件に比して、反応ガス成分のTiClおよびCHCNの含有割合を多くし、さらに、HClを加えた条件で蒸着形成して、
組成式:(Ti1−XZr)CN(ただし、原子比で、X:0.02〜0.25)を満足する(Ti,Zr)CN層を形成すると、この結果の(Ti,Zr)CN層(以下、改質(Ti,Zr)CN層という)は、上記の従来(Ti,Zr)CN層に比して一段とすぐれた耐熱性を有すること。
In view of the above, the present inventors have focused on the (Ti, Zr) CN layer, which is the lower layer of the hard coating layer of the above-mentioned coated tool, in order to improve particularly the wear resistance. , As a result of research,
(A) In the hard coating layer of the conventional coated tool, the (Ti, Zr) CN layer which is one layer constituting the lower layer is, for example, in a normal chemical vapor deposition apparatus.
Reaction gas composition: by volume%, TiCl 4: 1~5%, ZrCl 4: 0.1~1%, CH 3 CN: 0.6~5%, N 2: 25~45%, H 2: remainder,
Reaction atmosphere temperature: 750-980 ° C.
Reaction atmosphere pressure: 2.7 to 13.5 kPa,
It is formed by vapor deposition under the conditions (called normal conditions).
Reaction gas composition: by volume%, TiCl 4: 10~15%, ZrCl 4: 0.5~3.5%, CH 3 CN: 3~8%, N 2: 20~40%, HCl: 0.5 ~2%, H 2: remainder,
Reaction atmosphere temperature: 800 to 900 ° C.
Reaction atmosphere pressure: 5 to 20 kPa,
In comparison with the above-mentioned conditions, that is, the above-mentioned normal conditions, the content ratio of the reaction gas components TiCl 4 and CH 3 CN is increased, and further, vapor deposition is performed under the condition of adding HCl,
When a (Ti, Zr) CN layer satisfying the composition formula: (Ti 1-X Zr X ) CN (wherein the atomic ratio is X: 0.02 to 0.25) is formed, the resulting (Ti, Zr ) The CN layer (hereinafter referred to as a modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer) has heat resistance that is much higher than that of the conventional (Ti, Zr) CN layer.

(b)上記の従来(Ti,Zr)CN層と上記(a)の改質(Ti,Zr)CN層は、いずれも同様の結晶構造、すなわち格子点にTi、Zr、炭素(C)、および窒素(N)からなる構成原子がそれぞれ存在するNaCl型面心立方晶の結晶構造を有するが、それぞれの層について、
電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡を用い、図1(a),(b)に概略説明図で例示される通り、表面研磨面の測定範囲内に存在する立方晶結晶格子を有する結晶粒個々に電子線を照射して、前記表面研磨面の法線に対して、前記結晶粒の結晶面である{111}面の法線がなす傾斜角を測定し、前記測定傾斜角のうち、0〜45度の範囲内にある測定傾斜角を0.25度のピッチ毎に区分すると共に、各区分内に存在する度数を集計してなる傾斜角度数分布グラフを作成した場合、前記従来(Ti,Zr)CN層は、図4に例示される通り、{111}面の測定傾斜角の分布が0〜45度の範囲内で不偏的な傾斜角度数分布グラフを示すのに対して、前記改質(Ti,Zr)CN層は、図3に例示される通り、傾斜角区分の特定位置にシャープな最高ピークが現れ、そしてこのような場合に、改質(Ti,Zr)CN層にはクーリングクラックが均一に分散し、これによって、Zr含有量を増加したことによる改質(Ti,Zr)CN層の高温強度の低下を抑制することができ、しかも、このシャープな最高ピークは、グラフ横軸の傾斜角区分に現れる高さおよび傾斜角区分位置が前記改質(Ti,Zr)CN層におけるZrの含有割合を調整することにより変化すること。
(B) The conventional (Ti, Zr) CN layer and the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer of (a) have the same crystal structure, that is, Ti, Zr, carbon (C) at the lattice points, And a crystal structure of a NaCl type face centered cubic crystal in which constituent atoms composed of nitrogen (N) are present,
Using a field emission scanning electron microscope, as illustrated in the schematic explanatory diagrams of FIGS. 1A and 1B, the electron beam is individually applied to each crystal grain having a cubic crystal lattice existing within the measurement range of the surface polished surface. Is measured with respect to the normal of the surface polished surface, and the tilt angle formed by the normal of the {111} plane that is the crystal plane of the crystal grain is measured. When the measured inclination angle in the range of 0.25 degrees is divided for each pitch of 0.25 degrees and the inclination angle number distribution graph is formed by counting the frequencies existing in each division, the conventional (Ti, Zr) As illustrated in FIG. 4, the CN layer exhibits an unbiased inclination angle number distribution graph within the range of the measured inclination angle of the {111} plane within the range of 0 to 45 degrees, whereas the modification ( As illustrated in FIG. 3, the Ti, Zr) CN layer has a sharp peak at a specific position in the tilt angle section. A peak appears, and in such a case, cooling cracks are uniformly dispersed in the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer, and thereby the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer due to an increase in the Zr content. In addition, the sharp maximum peak has a height that appears in the tilt angle section of the horizontal axis of the graph and the position of the tilt angle section in the Zr in the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer. It changes by adjusting the content ratio.

(c)上記の通り、上記改質(Ti,Zr)CN層の形成に際して、層中のZr含有割合を、Tiとの合量に占める割合(原子比)で0.02〜0.25とすることによって、前記改質(Ti,Zr)CN層の傾斜角度数分布グラフで、シャープな最高ピークが傾斜角区分の0〜10度の範囲内に現れ、かつ、前記0〜10度の範囲内に存在する度数割合が、傾斜角度数分布グラフにおける度数全体の45%以上の割合を占める傾斜角度数分布グラフを示すようになるのであり、したがって、前記改質(Ti,Zr)CN層中のZr含有割合が前記の範囲から低い方に外れても、あるいは高い方に外れても、傾斜角度数分布グラフにおけるシャープな最高ピークが傾斜角区分の0〜10度の範囲から外れ、かつ、前記0〜10度の範囲内に存在する度数数割合も45%未満になってしまい、この場合は一段の耐熱性向上効果を期待できないばかりか、Zr含有割合を増加したことによる高温強度の低下をクーリングクラックの均一分散によって抑制することはできないこと。
つまり、上記改質(Ti,Zr)CN層のZr成分は、Tiとの合量に占める割合(原子比)で0.02(2原子%)以上で所望の耐熱性向上効果が現れるが、その含有割合が0.25(25原子%)を越えると、高熱発生を伴う高速切削加工では、改質(Ti,Zr)CN層は急激に軟化し、熱塑性変形、偏摩耗を生じやすくなることから、その含有割合は、Tiとの合量に占める割合(原子比)で0.02〜0.25とする必要がある。
(C) As described above, when forming the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer, the Zr content ratio in the layer is 0.02 to 0.25 as a ratio (atomic ratio) to the total amount with Ti. By doing this, in the gradient angle distribution graph of the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer, a sharp maximum peak appears in the range of 0 to 10 degrees of the tilt angle section, and the range of 0 to 10 degrees In the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer, the frequency ratio existing in the tilt angle frequency distribution graph occupies a ratio of 45% or more of the entire frequency in the tilt angle frequency distribution graph. Even if the Zr content ratio is out of the above range, the sharp maximum peak in the tilt angle distribution graph is out of the range of 0 to 10 degrees of the tilt angle section, and Within the range of 0 to 10 degrees The frequency ratio is also less than 45%. In this case, not only can the heat resistance improvement effect be further improved, but also the decrease in high-temperature strength due to the increase in the Zr content ratio should be suppressed by uniform distribution of cooling cracks. What you can't do.
That is, the Zr component of the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer has a desired heat resistance improvement effect when the ratio (atomic ratio) to the total amount with Ti is 0.02 (2 atomic%) or more. When the content ratio exceeds 0.25 (25 atomic%), the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer softens rapidly during high-speed cutting with high heat generation, and it is likely to cause thermoplastic deformation and uneven wear. Therefore, the content ratio needs to be 0.02 to 0.25 in the ratio (atomic ratio) to the total amount with Ti.

(d)また、従来被覆工具の硬質被覆層において、(Ti,Zr)CN層と同様に下部層を構成する層である改質(Ti,Cr)CN層は、例えば、通常の蒸着装置にて、
反応ガス組成(容量%):TiCl:2〜10%、CrCl:0.01〜0.5%、CHCN:0.5〜3%、N2:30〜45%、Ar:残り、
反応雰囲気温度:900〜1020℃、
反応雰囲気圧力:6〜20kPa、
の条件で化学蒸着することにより、
組成式:(Ti1−YCr)CNで表した場合、原子比で、Y:0.005〜0.05、を満足する(Ti,Cr)CN層を形成することができ、この結果の(Ti,Cr)CN層(改質(Ti,Cr)CN層)は、すぐれた高温強度を有すること。
(D) Further, in the hard coating layer of the conventional coated tool, the modified (Ti, Cr) CN layer which is a layer constituting the lower layer in the same manner as the (Ti, Zr) CN layer is applied to, for example, a normal vapor deposition apparatus. And
Reaction gas composition (volume%): TiCl 4 : 2 to 10%, CrCl 3 : 0.01 to 0.5%, CH 3 CN: 0.5 to 3%, N 2 : 30 to 45%, Ar: remaining ,
Reaction atmosphere temperature: 900-1020 ° C.
Reaction atmosphere pressure: 6-20 kPa,
By chemical vapor deposition under the conditions of
When expressed by the composition formula: (Ti 1-Y Cr Y ) CN, a (Ti, Cr) CN layer satisfying Y: 0.005 to 0.05 in atomic ratio can be formed. The (Ti, Cr) CN layer (modified (Ti, Cr) CN layer) has excellent high-temperature strength.

(e)そして、上記(d)の改質(Ti,Cr)CN層は、格子点にTi、Cr、炭素(C)、および窒素(N)からなる構成原子がそれぞれ存在するNaCl型面心立方晶の結晶構造を有し、図2(a),(b)に概略説明図で示されるように、電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡を用い、表面研磨面の測定範囲内に存在する立方晶結晶格子を有する結晶粒個々に電子線を照射して、前記表面研磨面の法線に対して、前記結晶粒の結晶面である{112}面の法線がなす傾斜角を測定し、前記測定傾斜角のうち、0〜45度の範囲内にある測定傾斜角を0.25度のピッチ毎に区分すると共に、各区分内に存在する度数を集計してなる傾斜角度数分布グラフにおいて、0〜10度の範囲内の傾斜角区分に最高ピークが存在すると共に、前記0〜10度の範囲内に存在する度数の合計が、傾斜角度数分布グラフにおける度数全体の45%以上の割合を占める傾斜角度数分布グラフを示すこと。 (E) The modified (Ti, Cr) CN layer of (d) is a NaCl-type face center in which constituent atoms composed of Ti, Cr, carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) are present at lattice points. Cubic crystals having a cubic crystal structure and existing within the measurement range of the surface polished surface using a field emission scanning electron microscope as shown in the schematic explanatory diagrams of FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b) The crystal grains having a lattice are irradiated with an electron beam, and the inclination angle formed by the normal of the {112} plane, which is the crystal plane of the crystal grain, is measured with respect to the normal of the surface-polished surface. In the inclination angle number distribution graph formed by dividing the measured inclination angles within the range of 0 to 45 degrees out of the inclination angles for each pitch of 0.25 degrees and totaling the frequencies existing in each section, 0 The highest peak exists in the tilt angle section within the range of -10 degrees, and the 0-10 The total of the frequencies present in the range of, to exhibit an inclination angle frequency distribution graph in a proportion of 45% or more of the total power at the inclination angle frequency distribution graph.

(f)上記の改質(Ti,Cr)CN層の形成に際して、層中のCr含有割合を、上記の通りTiとの合量に占める原子比で0.005〜0.05とすることによって、前記0〜10度の範囲内に存在する度数の合計が、傾斜角度数分布グラフにおける度数全体の45%以上の割合を占めるようになるのであり、したがって、前記(Ti,Cr)CN層中のCr含有割合が前記の範囲から低い方に外れても、あるいは高い方に外れても、0〜10度の範囲内に存在する度数の合計は45%未満となってしまい、この場合は高温強度の向上を図ることができないこと。 (F) When forming the above-described modified (Ti, Cr) CN layer, the Cr content ratio in the layer is set to 0.005 to 0.05 as the atomic ratio in the total amount with Ti as described above. The total of the frequencies existing in the range of 0 to 10 degrees occupies a ratio of 45% or more of the total frequencies in the inclination angle frequency distribution graph. Therefore, in the (Ti, Cr) CN layer, Even if the Cr content ratio is out of the above range or out of the above range, the total frequency existing in the range of 0 to 10 degrees is less than 45%, and in this case, the temperature is high. Inability to improve strength.

A surface-coated cutting tool (coated tool). "
It has the characteristics.

つぎに、この発明の被覆工具の硬質被覆層の構成層について、上記の通りに数値限定した理由を以下に説明する。
(a)下部層
下部層を構成するTiC層、TiN層、TiCN層、TiCO層、およびTiCNO層のうちの1層または2層以上からなるTi化合物層は、それ自体が所定の高温強度を有し、これの存在によって硬質被覆層が高温強度を具備するようになるほか、工具基体と改質(Ti、Zr)CN層あるいは改質(Ti,Cr)CN層、さらには、上部層であるAl23層のいずれとも強固に密着し、硬質被覆層の工具基体に対する密着性向上に寄与する作用をもつが、下部層の合計平均層厚が4μm未満では、前記作用を十分に発揮させることができず、一方その合計平均層厚が20μmを越えると、高速断続切削加工で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、下部層の合計平均層厚を4〜20μmと定めた。
Next, the reason why the constituent layers of the hard coating layer of the coated tool of the present invention are numerically limited as described above will be described below.
(A) Lower layer The Ti compound layer composed of one or more of the TiC layer, TiN layer, TiCN layer, TiCO layer, and TiCNO layer constituting the lower layer itself has a predetermined high-temperature strength. In addition to the fact that the hard coating layer has high-temperature strength due to the presence thereof, the tool base and the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer or modified (Ti, Cr) CN layer, and further the upper layer. It adheres firmly to any of the Al 2 O 3 layers and has an effect of improving the adhesion of the hard coating layer to the tool substrate. However, when the total average layer thickness of the lower layer is less than 4 μm, the above-described effect is sufficiently exhibited. On the other hand, if the total average layer thickness exceeds 20 μm, it becomes easy to cause thermoplastic deformation by high-speed interrupted cutting, and this causes uneven wear. It was determined to be 20 μm.

(b)下部層の改質(Ti,Zr)CN層
上記の改質(Ti,Zr)CN層の傾斜角度数分布グラフの傾斜角区分における最高ピーク位置および前記最高ピークが存在する所定の傾斜角区分内に存在する度数割合は、上記の通り層中のZr含有割合(X値)をTiとの合量に占める原子比で、0.02〜0.25とすることによって、0〜10度の範囲内の傾斜角区分に最高ピークを存在させ、かつ前記0〜10度の範囲内に存在する度数割合を、傾斜角度数分布グラフにおける度数全体の45%以上とすることができるものであり、したがって、その含有割合が0.02未満でも、0.25を越えても、前記最高ピーク位置の現れる傾斜角区分が0〜10度の範囲内から外れ、さらに前記0〜10度の範囲内に存在する度数割合は45%未満となってしまい、そのため、高温強度の低下をクーリングクラックの均一分散により抑制することができなくなるばかりか、高速切削加工におけるすぐれた耐熱性向上効果を確保することができなくなり、熱塑性変形の発生あるいは偏摩耗の発生によって耐摩耗性の劣ったものとなる。
また、改質(Ti,Zr)CN層におけるC成分には層の硬さを向上させ、一方N成分には高温強度を向上させる作用があり、これら両成分を共存含有することにより高い硬さとすぐれた強度を具備するようになるものであり、したがって、層中のN成分の含有割合が、C成分との合量に占める原子比で0.35未満では所望の強度を確保することができず、一方その含有割合が同じく0.55を越えると、相対的にC成分の含有割合が少なくなり過ぎて、所望の高硬度が得られなくなることから、C成分との合量に占めるN成分の含有割合は、原子比で0.35〜0.55とすることが望ましい。
このように前記改質(Ti,Zr)CN層は、従来の(Ti,Zr)CN層に比して、一段とすぐれた耐熱性を有するようになるが、その平均層厚が2μm未満では所望のすぐれた耐熱性向上効果を硬質被覆層に十分に具備せしめることができず、一方その平均層厚が10μmを越えると、チッピングが発生し易くなることから、その平均層厚を2〜10μmと定めた。
(B) Modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer of lower layer The highest peak position in the inclination angle section of the inclination angle number distribution graph of the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer and a predetermined inclination where the highest peak exists The frequency ratio existing in the corner section is 0 to 10 by adjusting the Zr content ratio (X value) in the layer to the total amount with Ti as 0.02 to 0.25 as described above. The highest peak exists in the inclination angle section within the range of degrees, and the frequency ratio existing in the range of 0 to 10 degrees can be 45% or more of the entire degrees in the inclination angle distribution graph. Therefore, even if the content ratio is less than 0.02 or exceeds 0.25, the inclination angle section at which the highest peak position appears is out of the range of 0 to 10 degrees, and further the range of 0 to 10 degrees. The frequency ratio that exists in is not 45% As a result, it is not only possible to suppress the decrease in high-temperature strength by uniform distribution of cooling cracks, but also it is impossible to ensure an excellent heat resistance improvement effect in high-speed cutting, and the occurrence of thermoplastic deformation. Alternatively, the wear resistance is inferior due to the occurrence of uneven wear.
In addition, the C component in the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer improves the hardness of the layer, while the N component has the effect of improving the high-temperature strength. Therefore, if the content ratio of the N component in the layer is less than 0.35 in terms of the atomic ratio to the total amount with the C component, the desired strength can be secured. On the other hand, if the content ratio similarly exceeds 0.55, the content ratio of the C component is relatively decreased, and the desired high hardness cannot be obtained. Therefore, the N component occupies the total amount with the C component. The content ratio of is desirably 0.35 to 0.55 in atomic ratio.
As described above, the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer has higher heat resistance than the conventional (Ti, Zr) CN layer. However, if the average layer thickness is less than 2 μm, it is desirable. However, if the average layer thickness exceeds 10 μm, chipping is likely to occur. Therefore, the average layer thickness is 2 to 10 μm. Determined.

(c)下部層の改質(Ti,Cr)CN層
改質(Ti,Cr)CN層については、上記の通り、層中のCr含有割合(Y値)をTiとの合量に占める原子比で、0.005〜0.05とすることによって、{112}面の法線がなす傾斜角を集計してなる傾斜角度数分布グラフにおいて、0〜10度の範囲内の傾斜角区分に最高ピークが存在すると共に、前記0〜10度の範囲内に存在する度数の合計が、傾斜角度数分布グラフにおける度数全体の45%以上の割合を占め、かつ、すぐれた高温強度を具備する改質(Ti,Cr)CN層を蒸着形成することができるが、その平均層厚が2μm未満では所望のすぐれた高温強度向上効果を発揮することができず、一方その平均層厚が10μmを越えると、偏摩耗の原因となる熱塑性変形が発生し易くなり、摩耗が加速するようになることから、その平均層厚を2〜10μmと定めた。
(C) Lower layer modified (Ti, Cr) CN layer As for the modified (Ti, Cr) CN layer, as described above, the Cr content ratio (Y value) in the layer accounts for the total amount of Ti In the inclination angle number distribution graph obtained by summing up the inclination angles formed by the normal lines of the {112} plane by setting the ratio to 0.005 to 0.05, the inclination angle is in the range of 0 to 10 degrees. The highest peak is present, and the sum of the frequencies within the range of 0 to 10 degrees occupies a ratio of 45% or more of the entire frequencies in the inclination angle frequency distribution graph, and has a high temperature strength. (Ti, Cr) CN layer can be formed by vapor deposition, but if the average layer thickness is less than 2 μm, the desired excellent high-temperature strength improvement effect cannot be exhibited, while the average layer thickness exceeds 10 μm. And thermoplastic deformation that causes uneven wear Easily, since it becomes worn accelerates, it determined the average layer thickness and 2 to 10 [mu] m.

(d)上部層のAl23
Al23層は、すぐれた高温硬さを有し、硬質被覆層の耐摩耗性向上に寄与するが、その平均層厚が1μm未満では、硬質被覆層に十分な耐摩耗性を発揮せしめることができず、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。
(D) the Al 2 O 3 layer the Al 2 O 3 layer of the upper layer has excellent high-temperature hardness, contributes to improvement in wear resistance of the hard coating layer, the average layer thickness is less than 1 [mu] m, hard Since the coating layer cannot exhibit sufficient wear resistance, on the other hand, if the average layer thickness exceeds 15 μm, chipping tends to occur. Therefore, the average layer thickness is set to 1 to 15 μm. It was.

なお、切削工具の使用前後の識別を目的として、黄金色の色調を有するTiN層を最表面層として、必要に応じて蒸着形成してもよいが、この場合の平均層厚は0.1〜1μmでよく、これは0.1μm未満では、十分な識別効果が得られず、一方前記TiN層による前記識別効果は1μmまでの平均層厚で十分であるという理由からである。   In addition, for the purpose of identification before and after the use of the cutting tool, the TiN layer having a golden color tone may be vapor-deposited as necessary, but the average layer thickness in this case is 0.1 to 1 μm may be sufficient, and if the thickness is less than 0.1 μm, a sufficient discrimination effect cannot be obtained, while the discrimination effect by the TiN layer is sufficient for an average layer thickness of up to 1 μm.

この発明の被覆工具は、高熱発生を伴い、かつ、切刃部に大きな衝撃的・機械的負荷がかかる鋼や鋳鉄などの高速断続切削加工でも、硬質被覆層の下部層のうちの改質(Ti,Cr)CN層が、すぐれた高温強度を有することによって耐チッピング性を向上させ、また、改質(Ti,Zr)CN層が一段とすぐれた耐熱性と高温強度を有し、熱塑性変形、偏摩耗の発生を抑制することによって、硬質被覆層はより一段とすぐれた耐摩耗性を示すものとなる。   The coated tool of the present invention is a modification of the lower layer of the hard coating layer even in high-speed intermittent cutting such as steel or cast iron that involves high heat generation and a large impact / mechanical load on the cutting edge ( (Ti, Cr) CN layer has excellent high temperature strength to improve chipping resistance, and modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer has much higher heat resistance and high temperature strength, thermoplastic deformation, By suppressing the occurrence of uneven wear, the hard coating layer exhibits even better wear resistance.

つぎに、この発明の被覆工具を実施例により具体的に説明する。   Next, the coated tool of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples.

また、原料粉末として、いずれも0.5〜2μmの平均粒径を有するTiCN(質量比で、TiC/TiN=50/50)粉末、Mo2C粉末、ZrC粉末、NbC粉末、TaC粉末、WC粉末、Co粉末、およびNi粉末を用意し、これら原料粉末を、表2に示される配合組成に配合し、ボールミルで40時間湿式混合し、乾燥した後、98MPaの圧力で圧粉体にプレス成形し、この圧粉体を1.3kPaの窒素雰囲気中、温度:1540℃に1時間保持の条件で焼結し、焼結後、切刃部分にR:0.08mmのホーニング加工を施すことによりISO規格・CNMG120412のチップ形状をもったTiCN基サーメット製の工具基体a〜fを形成した。 Further, as raw material powders, TiCN (mass ratio, TiC / TiN = 50/50) powder, Mo 2 C powder, ZrC powder, NbC powder, TaC powder, WC, all having an average particle diameter of 0.5 to 2 μm. Prepare powder, Co powder, and Ni powder, mix these raw material powders with the composition shown in Table 2, wet mix for 40 hours with a ball mill, dry, and press-mold into green compact with 98 MPa pressure The green compact is 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 is subjected to a honing process of R: 0.08 mm. Tool bases a to f made of TiCN-based cermet having a chip shape conforming to ISO standards / CNMG 120212 were formed.

つぎに、これらの工具基体A〜Eおよび工具基体a〜eの表面に、通常の化学蒸着装置を用い、硬質被覆層の下部層として、Ti化合物層、改質(Ti,Cr)CN層および改質(Ti,Zr)CN層からなる下部層を表3〜5に示される条件で、表6に示される組み合わせおよび目標層厚で蒸着形成し、ついで同じく表3に示される条件にて、上部層としてのAl23層を同じく表6に示される組み合わせで、かつ目標層厚で蒸着形成することにより本発明被覆工具1〜13をそれぞれ製造した。 Next, on the surfaces of these tool bases A to E and tool bases a to e, a normal chemical vapor deposition apparatus is used, and as a lower layer of the hard coating layer, a Ti compound layer, a modified (Ti, Cr) CN layer, and A lower layer composed of a modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer is formed by vapor deposition with the combinations and target layer thicknesses shown in Table 6 under the conditions shown in Tables 3 to 5, and then also under the conditions shown in Table 3. The coated tools 1 to 13 of the present invention were manufactured by vapor-depositing Al 2 O 3 layers as upper layers in the same combination as shown in Table 6 and with a target layer thickness.

また、比較の目的で、硬質被覆層の下部層として、Ti化合物層および従来(Ti,Zr)CN層を表3、5に示される条件で、表7に示される組み合わせおよび目標層厚で蒸着形成し、さらに上部層としてのAl23層を、表3に示される条件で、かつ同じく表7に示される目標層厚で蒸着形成することにより比較被覆工具1〜13をそれぞれ製造した。 For comparison, a Ti compound layer and a conventional (Ti, Zr) CN layer are deposited as the lower layer of the hard coating layer under the conditions shown in Tables 3 and 5 and combinations and target layer thicknesses shown in Table 7. Comparative coating tools 1 to 13 were manufactured by forming and further depositing an Al 2 O 3 layer as an upper layer under the conditions shown in Table 3 and with the target layer thicknesses also shown in Table 7.

ついで、上記の本発明被覆工具と比較被覆工具の硬質被覆層を構成する改質(Ti,Zr)CN層および従来(Ti,Zr)CN層について、電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡を用いて、傾斜角度数分布グラフをそれぞれ作成した。
すなわち、上記傾斜角度数分布グラフは、上記の改質(Ti,Zr)CN層および従来(Ti,Zr)CN層の表面を研磨面とした状態で、電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡の鏡筒内にセットし、前記研磨面に70度の入射角度で15kVの加速電圧の電子線を1nAの照射電流で、前記表面研磨面の測定範囲内に存在する立方晶結晶格子を有する結晶粒個々に照射して、電子後方散乱回折像装置を用い、30×50μmの領域を0.1μm/stepの間隔で、前記表面研磨面の法線に対して、前記結晶粒の結晶面である{111}面の法線がなす傾斜角を測定し、この測定結果に基づいて、前記測定傾斜角のうち、0〜45度の範囲内にある測定傾斜角を0.25度のピッチ毎に区分すると共に、各区分内に存在する度数を集計することにより作成した。
Next, with respect to the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer and the conventional (Ti, Zr) CN layer constituting the hard coating layer of the above-described coated tool of the present invention and the comparative coated tool, a gradient is obtained using a field emission scanning electron microscope. Each angle distribution graph was created.
That is, the inclination angle number distribution graph shows the inside of the column of the field emission scanning electron microscope in a state where the surfaces of the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer and the conventional (Ti, Zr) CN layer are polished surfaces. Irradiating the polished surface with an electron beam with an acceleration voltage of 15 kV at an incident angle of 70 degrees with an irradiation current of 1 nA on each crystal grain having a cubic crystal lattice existing within the measurement range of the surface polished surface Then, using an electron backscatter diffraction image apparatus, a {111} plane which is a crystal plane of the crystal grain with respect to a normal line of the surface-polished surface in a 30 × 50 μm region at an interval of 0.1 μm / step The inclination angle formed by the normal line is measured, and based on the measurement result, among the measurement inclination angles, the measurement inclination angle within the range of 0 to 45 degrees is divided for each pitch of 0.25 degrees, Created by counting the frequencies existing in each category It was.

この結果得られた各種の改質(Ti,Zr)CN層および従来(Ti,Zr)CN層の傾斜角度数分布グラフにおいて、{111}面が最高ピークを示す傾斜角区分、並びに0〜10度の範囲内の傾斜角区分内に存在する傾斜角度数の傾斜角度数分布グラフ全体の傾斜角度数に占める割合を表6,7にそれぞれ示した。
なお、本発明被覆工具と比較被覆工具の硬質被覆層を構成する改質(Ti,Cr)CN層についても、前記と同様にして、結晶粒の結晶面である{112}面の法線がなす傾斜角を測定し、この測定結果に基づいて、前記測定傾斜角のうち、0〜45度の範囲内にある測定傾斜角を0.25度のピッチ毎に区分すると共に、各区分内に存在する度数を集計することにより作成し、{112}面が最高ピークを示す傾斜角区分、並びに0〜10度の範囲内の傾斜角区分内に存在する傾斜角度数の傾斜角度数分布グラフ全体の傾斜角度数に占める割合を表6,7にそれぞれ示した。
In the inclination angle number distribution graphs of the various modified (Ti, Zr) CN layers and conventional (Ti, Zr) CN layers obtained as a result, the inclination angle division in which the {111} plane shows the highest peak, and 0-10 Tables 6 and 7 show the ratio of the number of inclination angles existing in the inclination angle section within the range of degrees to the number of inclination angles in the entire inclination angle number distribution graph.
Note that the modified (Ti, Cr) CN layer constituting the hard coating layer of the coated tool of the present invention and the comparative coated tool also has a normal of the {112} plane that is the crystal plane of the crystal grains in the same manner as described above. The measured inclination angle is measured, and based on the measurement result, the measurement inclination angle within the range of 0 to 45 degrees is divided for each pitch of 0.25 degrees among the measurement inclination angles, The entire inclination angle distribution graph of the inclination angle number that is created by counting the existing frequencies, and the inclination angle number that is present in the inclination angle section where the {112} plane has the highest peak, and the inclination angle section within the range of 0 to 10 degrees. Tables 6 and 7 show the ratio of the number of tilt angles to the number of tilt angles.

上記の各種の傾斜角度数分布グラフにおいて、表6に示される通り、本発明被覆工具1〜13の改質(Ti,Zr)CN層は、いずれも{111}面の測定傾斜角の分布が0〜10度の範囲内の傾斜角区分に最高ピークが現れ、かつ0〜10度の範囲内の傾斜角区分内に存在する傾斜角度数の割合が45%以上である傾斜角度数分布グラフを示すのに対して、表7に示される通り、比較被覆工具1〜13の従来(Ti,Zr)CN層は、いずれも{111}面の測定傾斜角の分布が0〜45度の範囲内で不偏的で、最高ピークが存在せず、0〜10度の範囲内の傾斜角区分内に存在する傾斜角度数の割合も30%以下である傾斜角度数分布グラフを示すものであった。
図3は、本発明被覆工具2の改質(Ti,Zr)CN層の傾斜角度数分布グラフ、図4は、比較被覆工具2の従来(Ti,Zr)CN層の傾斜角度数分布グラフをそれぞれ示すものである。
なお、本発明被覆工具1〜13および比較被覆工具1〜13の改質(Ti,Cr)CN層については、いずれも、{112}面の測定傾斜角の分布が0〜10度の範囲内の傾斜角区分に最高ピークが現れ、かつ0〜10度の範囲内の傾斜角区分内に存在する傾斜角度数の割合が45%以上である傾斜角度数分布グラフを示していた。
In the above-mentioned various inclination angle number distribution graphs, as shown in Table 6, the modified (Ti, Zr) CN layers of the present coated tools 1 to 13 all have a distribution of measured inclination angles on the {111} plane.

表6〜8に示される結果から、本発明被覆工具1〜13は、いずれも硬質被覆層の下部層のうちの特に改質(Ti,Zr)CN層が、{111}面の傾斜角が0〜10度の範囲内の傾斜角区分で最高ピークを示すと共に、前記0〜10度の傾斜角区分範囲内に存在する度数の合計割合が45%以上を占める傾斜角度数分布グラフを示し、高熱発生を伴い、かつ、切刃部に大きな衝撃的・機械的負荷がかかる高速断続切削加工でも、前記改質(Ti,Zr)CN層が一段とすぐれた耐熱性と高温強度を有し、熱塑性変形、偏摩耗の発生が防止されることから、硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐摩耗性を示すのに対して、硬質被覆層の下部層のうちの(Ti,Zr)CN層が、{111}面の測定傾斜角の分布が0〜45度の範囲内で不偏的で、最高ピークが存在しない傾斜角度数分布グラフを示す従来(Ti,Zr)CN層で構成された比較被覆工具1〜13においては、高速断続切削加工では硬質被覆層の熱塑性変形あるいは偏摩耗の発生により、硬質被覆層の耐摩耗性は非常に劣ったものであり、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 6 to 8, all of the coated tools 1 to 13 of the present invention have a modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer in the lower layer of the hard coating layer, and an inclination angle of the {111} plane. An inclination angle distribution graph showing the highest peak in the inclination angle section within the range of 0 to 10 degrees and the total ratio of the frequencies existing in the inclination angle section range of 0 to 10 degrees occupying 45% or more, The modified (Ti, Zr) CN layer has excellent heat resistance and high-temperature strength even in high-speed intermittent cutting with high heat generation and large impact and mechanical load on the cutting edge, and is thermoplastic. Since deformation and uneven wear are prevented, the hard coating layer exhibits excellent wear resistance, whereas the (Ti, Zr) CN layer of the lower layer of the hard coating layer is {111}. The distribution of the measured inclination angle of the surface is unbiased within the range of 0 to 45 degrees, and the maximum peak In comparative coated tools 1 to 13 composed of conventional (Ti, Zr) CN layers showing a tilt angle number distribution graph in which no hard disk exists, in high-speed intermittent cutting, the hard coating layer is hardened due to the occurrence of thermoplastic deformation or uneven wear. It is clear that the wear resistance of the coating layer is very inferior and that the service life is reached in a relatively short time.

上述のように、この発明の被覆工具は、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、高速断続切削加工でも硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐摩耗性を示し、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 tool of the present invention exhibits excellent wear resistance with a hard coating layer in high-speed intermittent cutting as well as continuous cutting and intermittent cutting under normal conditions such as various steels and cast iron. Since it exhibits excellent cutting performance over a long period of time, it can sufficiently satisfy the high performance of the cutting device, the labor saving and energy saving of cutting, and the cost reduction.
