A coated tool formed by forming a hard coating layer composed of the above (a) and (b) is known, and this coated tool is also used for cutting various steels and cast irons, for example. Are known.
例えば、特許文献1に示すように、工具基体表面に、Ti化合物層とAl2O3層を被覆形成した被覆工具において、<001>成長方向の柱状のαAl2O3粒を含むと共に、Al2O3層の組織係数TCについて、TC(006)を1.4より大きくし、さらに、最も好ましくは4.0より大きくすることにより、硬質被覆層の密着性、硬さ、靭性を改善することが提案されている。 For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, in a coated tool in which a Ti compound layer and an Al 2 O 3 layer are coated on the surface of a tool base, the column includes α001 Al 2 O 3 grains in the <001> growth direction and Al Regarding the texture coefficient TC of the 2 O 3 layer, by making TC (006) larger than 1.4, and most preferably larger than 4.0, the adhesion, hardness, and toughness of the hard coating layer are improved. It has been proposed.
また、例えば、特許文献2に示すように、工具基体表面に、Ti化合物層とAl2O3層を被覆形成した被覆工具において、Al2O3層の配向性指数TCについて、TC(006)を2より大きくし、さらに、二番目に大きい配向性指数TC(104)を、2>TC(104)>0.5とした被覆工具が提案されている。 For example, as shown in Patent Document 2, in a coated tool in which a Ti compound layer and an Al 2 O 3 layer are formed on the surface of a tool base, the orientation index TC of the Al 2 O 3 layer is expressed as TC (006). Has been proposed, in which the second orientation index TC (104) is 2> TC (104)> 0.5.
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、切削加工は一段と高速化するとともに、切削時の工具への熱的・機械的負荷も益々増加する傾向にある。
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、例えば、これを、ステンレス鋼の高速ミーリング切削加工に用いた場合には、高温時にAl2O3結晶粒の塑性変形(粒界すべり)が発生し、そのため耐摩耗性が不十分となり、工具寿命が短命であるという問題点があった。
In recent years, the performance of cutting machines has been remarkable. On the other hand, there is a strong demand for labor saving and energy saving and further cost reduction for cutting work.Accordingly, cutting speed has been further increased, and cutting tools have been improved. Thermal and mechanical loads are also increasing.
In the above 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. For example, this is used for high-speed milling cutting of stainless steel. In such a case, plastic deformation (grain boundary sliding) of Al 2 O 3 crystal grains occurs at a high temperature, resulting in insufficient wear resistance and a short tool 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耐摩耗性の改善をはかるべく、硬質被覆層の上部層であるAl2O3層の層構造について鋭意研究を行った結果、高負荷で高熱発生を伴うステンレス鋼の高速ミーリング切削加工において、チッピング、欠損等の発生の恐れがなく、しかも、長期の使用に亘ってすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮する硬質被覆層の層構造についての知見を得たのである。 In view of the above, the inventors of the present invention have studied the layer structure of the Al 2 O 3 layer, which is the upper layer of the hard coating layer, in order to improve the wear resistance of the hard coating layer of the above coated tool. As a result of earnest research, there is no risk of chipping, chipping, etc. in high-speed milling of stainless steel with high load and high heat generation, and excellent wear resistance over a long period of use. The knowledge about the layer structure of the hard coating layer was obtained.
つまり、前記特許文献1、2で組織係数あるいは配向性指数と呼ばれているTC値(本発明では、TC値を、以下、「配向性指数」と呼ぶ。)について検討したところ、TC(110)の値が2.0以上で、かつ、TC(006)の値が1.5以上となるようなAl2O3層を上部層として形成することによって、チッピング、欠損等の発生の恐れがなく、しかも、長期の使用に亘ってすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮する硬質被覆層を備えた被覆工具を提供し得ることを見出したのである。 That is, when the TC value called the texture coefficient or the orientation index in Patent Documents 1 and 2 (in the present invention, the TC value is hereinafter referred to as “orientation index”) is examined, TC (110 value of) at least 2.0, and, by forming the Al 2 O 3 layer as the value of TC (006) is 1.5 or more as an upper layer, chipping, the risk of occurrence of defects such as In addition, the present inventors have found that a coated tool having a hard coating layer exhibiting excellent wear resistance over a long period of use can be provided.
硬質被覆層の上部層を構成する従来のAl2O3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、AlCl3:1〜5%、CO2:3〜7%、HCl:0.3〜3%、H2S:0.02〜0.4%、H2:残り、
反応雰囲気温度:950〜1100℃、
反応雰囲気圧力:6〜13kPa、
の条件(以下、通常条件という)で形成されている。
The conventional Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the upper layer of the hard coating layer is, for example, a normal chemical vapor deposition apparatus,

(Hereinafter referred to as normal conditions).
しかし、本発明者らは、この蒸着条件を変更し、
まず、第1段階として、
反応ガス組成:容量%で、AlCl3:1〜5%、CO2:0.5〜2%、HCl:0.3〜3%、H2S:0.02〜0.4%、H2:残り、

反応雰囲気圧力:6〜13kPa、
の条件(通常条件に比して、H2Sガスの含有割合が相対的に高い条件)で、目標層厚になるまで蒸着形成することによって、TC(110)の値が2.0以上で、かつ、TC(006)の値が1.5以上となるようなAl2O3層を上部層として蒸着形成することができること、そして、このような第1段階及び第2段階の条件で順次形成された柱状組織のAl2O3層(以下、このAl2O3層を「改質Al2O3層」という)は、粒界すべりに起因する耐塑性変形性に優れるため、偏摩耗等の発生もなくすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮することを見出したのである。
However, the inventors changed this deposition condition,
First, as the first stage,
Reaction gas composition: by volume%, AlCl 3: 1~5%, CO 2: 0.5~2%, HCl: 0.3~3%, H 2 S: 0.02~0.4%, H 2 :remaining,

Reaction atmosphere temperature: 950-1100 ° C.
Reaction atmosphere pressure: 6-13 kPa,
Under the above conditions (conditions in which the content ratio of the H 2 S gas is relatively high compared to the normal conditions), the value of TC (110) is 2.0 or more by vapor deposition until the target layer thickness is reached. In addition, an Al 2 O 3 layer having a value of TC (006) of 1.5 or more can be deposited as an upper layer, and sequentially under the conditions of the first stage and the second stage. the Al 2 O 3 layer of the formed columnar structure (hereinafter, the the Al 2 O 3 layer as "reforming the Al 2 O 3 layer") is excellent in plastic deformation resistance due to the grain boundary sliding, uneven wear It has been found that it exhibits excellent wear resistance without the occurrence of or the like.
本発明の被覆工具は、Ti化合物層からなる下部層と、前記改質Al2O3層からなる上部層を備えることにより、ステンレス鋼の高速切削において、チッピング、欠損等の発生の恐れがなく、しかも、長期の使用に亘ってすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮することができるのである。 The coated tool of the present invention includes a lower layer made of a Ti compound layer and an upper layer made of the modified Al 2 O 3 layer, so that there is no risk of chipping, chipping, etc. in high-speed cutting of stainless steel. In addition, excellent wear resistance can be exhibited over a long period of use.
この発明は、上記の知見に基づいてなされたものであって、

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、詳細に説明する。
下部層:
TiC層、TiN層、TiCN層(l−TiCNを含む)TiCO層、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、自体が高温強度を有し、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、工具基体と上部層であるAl2O3層のいずれにも強固に密着し、よって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、その合計平均層厚が1μm未満では、長期の使用に亘って十分な耐摩耗性を発揮することができず、一方その合計平均層厚が7μmを越えると、ステンレス鋼の高速切削加工でチッピングを起し易くなることから、その合計平均層厚を1〜7μmと定めた。
Next, the constituent layers of the hard coating layer of the coated tool of the present invention will be described in detail.
Lower layer:
Ti compound layer consisting of one or more of TiC layer, TiN layer, TiCN layer (including 1-TiCN) TiCO layer, TiCNO layer itself has high temperature strength and hard coating due to its presence In addition to having high-temperature strength, the layer adheres firmly to both the tool base and the upper Al 2 O 3 layer, and thus has an effect of contributing to improved adhesion of the hard coating layer to the tool base. However, if the total average layer thickness is less than 1 μm, sufficient wear resistance cannot be exhibited over a long period of use, while if the total average layer thickness exceeds 7 μm, high-speed cutting of stainless steel Since it becomes easy to cause chipping, the total average layer thickness was determined to be 1 to 7 μm.
上部層(改質Al2O3層):
改質Al2O3層からなる上部層は、すぐれた高温硬さと耐熱性を有し、さらに、粒界すべりに起因する塑性変形性にすぐれることによって、偏摩耗の発生もなく、硬質被覆層の耐摩耗性向上に寄与する。
改質Al2O3層は、既に述べたように、例えば、以下の方法によって成膜することができる。
例えば、通常の化学蒸着装置にて、
まず、≪第1段階≫として、
反応ガス組成:容量%で、AlCl3:1〜5%、CO2:0.5〜2%、HCl:0.3〜3%、H2S:0.02〜0.4%、H2:残り、
反応雰囲気温度:750〜900℃、
反応雰囲気圧力:20〜30kPa、
の条件(通常条件に比して、CO2ガス含有割合が相対的に低く、反応雰囲気圧を相対的に高くした条件)で、Al2O3層の目標層厚の25〜50%の層厚になるまで蒸着を行い、
その後、≪第2段階≫として、
反応ガス組成:容量%で、AlCl3:1〜5%、CO2:3〜7%、HCl:0.3〜3%、H2S:0.5〜1%、H2:残り、
反応雰囲気温度:950〜1100℃、
反応雰囲気圧力:6〜13kPa、
の条件(通常条件に比して、H2Sガスの含有割合が相対的に高い条件)で、目標層厚になるまで蒸着形成することによって、TC(110)の値が2.0以上で、かつ、TC(006)の値が1.5以上となるような改質Al2O3層を上部層として蒸着形成することができる。
この改質Al2O3層は、すぐれた高温硬さと耐熱性を示すばかりでなく、粒界すべりに起因する耐塑性変形性に優れるため、高負荷で高熱発生を伴うステンレス鋼の高速ミーリング切削加工でも、偏摩耗等の発生もなくすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮する。
Upper layer (modified Al 2 O 3 layer):
The upper layer composed of the modified Al 2 O 3 layer has excellent high-temperature hardness and heat resistance, and further has excellent plastic deformation due to grain boundary sliding, so that there is no occurrence of uneven wear and a hard coating. Contributes to improved wear resistance of the layer.
As described above, the modified Al 2 O 3 layer can be formed by the following method, for example.
For example, in a normal chemical vapor deposition system,
First, as «First Stage»
Reaction gas composition: by volume%, AlCl 3: 1~5%, CO 2: 0.5~2%, HCl: 0.3~3%, H 2 S: 0.02~0.4%, H 2 :remaining,
Reaction atmosphere temperature: 750 to 900 ° C.
Reaction atmosphere pressure: 20-30 kPa,
25% to 50% of the target layer thickness of the Al 2 O 3 layer under the following conditions (conditions in which the CO 2 gas content ratio is relatively low and the reaction atmosphere pressure is relatively high compared to the normal conditions) Vapor deposition until thick,
Then, as «second stage»
Reaction gas composition: by volume%, AlCl 3: 1~5%, CO 2: 3~7%, HCl: 0.3~3%, H 2 S: 0.5~1%, H 2: remainder,
Reaction atmosphere temperature: 950-1100 ° C.
Reaction atmosphere pressure: 6-13 kPa,
Under the above conditions (conditions in which the content ratio of the H 2 S gas is relatively high compared to the normal conditions), the value of TC (110) is 2.0 or more by vapor deposition until the target layer thickness is reached. In addition, a modified Al 2 O 3 layer having a TC (006) value of 1.5 or more can be deposited as an upper layer.
This modified Al 2 O 3 layer not only exhibits excellent high-temperature hardness and heat resistance, but also has excellent plastic deformation resistance due to grain boundary sliding, so high-speed milling of stainless steel with high load and high heat generation Even in processing, it exhibits excellent wear resistance without the occurrence of uneven wear.
また、上記改質Al2O3層について、X線回折により、(012)面、(104)面、(110)面、(006)面、(113)面、(202)面、(024)面及び(116)面の反射強度を求め、これらの値から、(110)面の配向性指数TC(110)および(006)面の配向性指数TC(006)の値を求めたところ、改質Al2O3層ではTC(110)の値が2.0以上で、かつ、TC(006)の値は1.5以上であった。
なお、従来Al2O3層では、TC(110)およびTC(006)の値は、それぞれ、
0.1〜0.8、2.8〜5.7であった(表7参照)。
なお、本発明でいう(110)面の配向性指数TC(110)および(006)面の配向性指数TC(006)は、上部層を構成するAl2O3層についてX線回折を行った際の(hkl)面から得られるX線回折のピーク強度値をI(hkl)、JCPDSカードNo.46−1212記載の(hkl)面の標準回折強度をI0(hkl)とした場合、
であるとして定義される。ここで、(hkl)は(012)、(104)、(110)、(006)、(113)、(202)、(024)、(116)の8面である。
Further, the modified Al 2 O 3 layer was subjected to (012) plane, (104) plane, (110) plane, (006) plane, (113) plane, (202) plane, (024) by X-ray diffraction. The reflection intensity of the plane and the (116) plane was obtained, and from these values, the values of the orientation index TC (110) of the (110) plane and the orientation index TC (006) of the (006) plane were obtained. In the quality Al 2 O 3 layer, the value of TC (110) was 2.0 or more, and the value of TC (006) was 1.5 or more.
In the conventional Al 2 O 3 layer, the values of TC (110) and TC (006) are respectively
0.1 to 0.8 and 2.8 to 5.7 (see Table 7).
The (110) plane orientation index TC (110) and (006) plane orientation index TC (006) referred to in the present invention were obtained by performing X-ray diffraction on the Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the upper layer. The peak intensity value of X-ray diffraction obtained from the (hkl) plane is I (hkl), JCPDS card no. When the standard diffraction intensity of the (hkl) plane described in 46-1212 is I 0 (hkl),
Is defined as Here, (hkl) is the eight faces (012), (104), (110), (006), (113), (202), (024), and (116).
上記改質Al2O3層の配向性指数TC(110)およびTC(006)について、TC(110)が2未満である場合には、Al2O3結晶粒の粒界すべりを抑制するには十分でないため、偏摩耗の発生を防止することができず、そのため、長期の使用に亘って十分な耐摩耗性を発揮することができず、また、TC(006)が1.5未満である場合には、Al2O3層の靭性が不足するため、十分な耐チッピング性、耐欠損性を発揮することができない。
したがって、本発明では、上部層の改質Al2O3層の配向性指数TC(110)およびTC(006)を、それぞれ、2.0以上、1.5以上と定めた。
In the case of the orientation index TC (110) and TC (006) of the modified Al 2 O 3 layer, when the TC (110) is less than 2, the grain boundary slip of the Al 2 O 3 crystal grains is suppressed. Is not sufficient, it is not possible to prevent the occurrence of uneven wear, so that sufficient wear resistance cannot be exhibited over a long period of use, and TC (006) is less than 1.5. In some cases, the toughness of the Al 2 O 3 layer is insufficient, so that sufficient chipping resistance and fracture resistance cannot be exhibited.
Therefore, in the present invention, the orientation indexes TC (110) and TC (006) of the modified Al 2 O 3 layer of the upper layer are set to 2.0 or more and 1.5 or more, respectively.
上部層である改質Al2O3層の層厚は、0.5μm未満では長期の使用に亘って十分な耐摩耗性を発揮することはできず、一方、5μmを超えると耐チッピング性が低下するため、改質Al2O3層の層厚は0.5〜5μmと定めた。
また、下部層と上部層からなる硬質被覆層の全体平均層厚は、1.5μm未満では長期の使用に亘っての十分な耐摩耗性を発揮し得ず、一方、全体平均層厚が10μmを超えると、チッピング、欠損が発生し易くなることから、硬質被覆層の全体平均層厚は、1.5〜10μmと定めた。
If the thickness of the modified Al 2 O 3 layer, which is the upper layer, is less than 0.5 μm, sufficient wear resistance cannot be exhibited over a long period of use, while if it exceeds 5 μm, chipping resistance is not achieved. In order to decrease, the layer thickness of the modified Al 2 O 3 layer was determined to be 0.5 to 5 μm.
Further, if the overall average layer thickness of the hard coating layer composed of the lower layer and the upper layer is less than 1.5 μm, sufficient wear resistance over a long period of use cannot be exhibited, while the overall average layer thickness is 10 μm. If it exceeds 1, chipping and defects are likely to occur. Therefore, the overall average layer thickness of the hard coating layer was determined to be 1.5 to 10 μm.
また、本発明は、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、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。
さらに、本発明は、改質Al2O3層の表面に、表面の平滑化等の目的で、機械的処理(例えば、ウエットブラスト処理、ブラシ処理、弾性砥石処理)等を施すことを何ら制限するものではない。
Further, in the present invention, for the purpose of identification before and after the use of the cutting tool, a 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.
Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to subjecting the surface of the modified Al 2 O 3 layer to mechanical treatment (for example, wet blast treatment, brush treatment, elastic grindstone treatment) or the like for the purpose of smoothing the surface. Not what you want.
この発明の被覆工具は、高負荷で高熱発生を伴うステンレス鋼の高速ミーリング切削加工に供した場合でも、硬質被覆層の上部層の改質Al2O3層が、すぐれた硬度と耐熱性に加え、すぐれた耐塑性変形性を示すことから、チッピング、欠損、偏摩耗等の発生もなく、長期の使用に亘って、すぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮するものである。 Even when the coated tool of the present invention is subjected to high-speed milling of stainless steel with high load and high heat generation, the modified Al 2 O 3 layer of the upper layer of the hard coating layer has excellent hardness and heat resistance. In addition, since excellent plastic deformation resistance is exhibited, there is no occurrence of chipping, chipping, uneven wear, etc., and excellent wear resistance is exhibited over a long period of use.
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.

Tables 6 and 7 show these values.
さらに、上記の本発明被覆工具1〜10および従来被覆工具1〜10の硬質被覆層の構成層の厚さを、走査型電子顕微鏡を用いて測定(同じく縦断面測定)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。 Furthermore, when the thickness of the constituent layer of the hard coating layer of the present invention coated tools 1 to 10 and the conventional coated tools 1 to 10 was measured using the scanning electron microscope (same longitudinal section measurement), both targets The average layer thickness (average value of 5-point measurement) substantially the same as the layer thickness was shown.
つぎに、上記本発明被覆工具1〜10及び従来被覆工具1〜10について、以下に示す条件で、乾式高速ミーリング切削加工試験を実施し、加工パス数をカウントした。(加工する面を1回切削することを1パスとしている)
加工パス数のカウントは、切れ刃逃げ面の摩耗量が基準摩耗量である0.3mmに達した時点における加工パス数を基本とするが、加工の途中で切れ刃の欠損が生じた場合には、その時点で終了している加工パス数をカウントすることとする。なお、加工途中については、加工パス数としてカウントしない。
Next, a dry high-speed milling cutting test was performed on the above-described inventive coated tools 1 to 10 and conventional coated tools 1 to 10 under the following conditions, and the number of machining passes was counted. (Cut once the surface to be processed is one pass)

切削速度:350m/min、
切り込み:ae 50mm、ap 1.5mm、
一刃送り量:0.2mm/刃、
(通常の切削速度は、200m/min)、
表8に、上記切削試験の結果を示す。
Work material: Block material of JIS / SUS304 (width 50mm length 200mm)
Cutting speed: 350 m / min,
Incision: ae 50 mm, ap 1.5 mm,
Single-blade feed rate: 0.2 mm / tooth,
(Normal cutting speed is 200 m / min),
Table 8 shows the results of the cutting test.
表6〜8に示される結果から、本発明被覆工具1〜10は、硬質被覆層の上部層が、TC(110)の値が2.0以上、かつ、TC(006)の値が1.5以上である柱状組織の改質Al2O3層で構成されていることから、高熱発生を伴うステンレス鋼の高速ミーリング切削加工でも、前記改質Al2O3層が、粒界すべりの発生に起因する塑性変形による偏摩耗の発生を抑制するとともに、すぐれた耐チッピング性、耐欠損性を発揮することにより、長期の使用に亘って、すぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮する。
これに対して、TC(110)の値が0.1〜0.8、あるいは、TC(006)の値が2.8〜5.7である硬質被覆層の上部層が従来Al2O3層である従来被覆工具1〜10においては、特に、上部層のチッピング、欠損、偏摩耗発生によって、耐摩耗性が劣り、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, in the coated tools 1 to 10 of the present invention, the upper layer of the hard coating layer has a TC (110) value of 2.0 or more and a TC (006) value of 1. since it is 5 or more in which consists in modifying the Al 2 O 3 layer of columnar structure, also of stainless high-speed milling machining of steels with high heat generation, the reforming the Al 2 O 3 layer is the occurrence of grain boundary sliding In addition to suppressing the occurrence of uneven wear due to plastic deformation caused by the above, it exhibits excellent wear resistance over a long period of use by exhibiting excellent chipping resistance and fracture resistance.
On the other hand, the upper layer of the hard coating layer having a TC (110) value of 0.1 to 0.8 or a TC (006) value of 2.8 to 5.7 is conventionally Al 2 O 3. In the conventional coated tools 1 to 10 which are layers, it is apparent that the wear resistance is inferior due to chipping, chipping and partial wear of the upper layer, and 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、ステンレス鋼の高速ミーリング切削加工においてすぐれた特性を示し、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 characteristics in high-speed milling cutting of stainless steel and exhibits excellent cutting performance over a long period of time.
