Description
この発明は、合金鋼などの断続切削加工において、硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐チッピング性と耐摩耗性を発揮し、長期の使用にわたってすぐれた切削性能を発揮する表面被覆切削工具（以下、被覆工具という）に関するものである。 The present invention provides a surface-coated cutting tool (hereinafter referred to as a coated tool) that exhibits excellent chipping resistance and wear resistance in a hard coating layer in intermittent cutting of alloy steel and the like, and exhibits excellent cutting performance over a long period of use. )).
一般に、被覆工具として、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、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エンドミル、前記被削材の歯形の歯切加工などに用いられるソリッドホブ、ピニオンカッタなどが知られている。
そして、被覆工具の切削性能改善を目的として、従来から、数多くの提案がなされている。
In general, as a coated tool, for throwing inserts that can be used detachably attached to the tip of a cutting tool for turning and planing of various materials such as steel and cast iron, and for drilling and cutting the work material Known drills and miniature drills, end mills used for chamfering and grooving, shoulder processing, etc. of the work material, solid hob, pinion cutter used for gear cutting of the tooth profile of the work material, etc. Yes.
Many proposals have been made for the purpose of improving the cutting performance of the coated tool.
例えば、特許文献１に示すように、工具基体表面に、物理蒸着によって堆積された耐火性層を含むコーティングを含む被覆工具であって、 前記耐火性層がＭ１−ｘＡｌｘＮ（式中、ｘ≧０．６８であり、ＭがＴｉ、ＣｒまたはＺｒである）を含み、前記耐火性層が立方晶結晶相を含有し、少なくとも２５ＧＰａの硬度を有する厚膜、高硬度および低残留応力の耐摩耗性被覆工具が提案されている。 For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a coated tool including a coating including a refractory layer deposited by physical vapor deposition on the surface of a tool base, wherein the refractory layer is M 1-x Al x N (wherein X ≧ 0.68, and M is Ti, Cr or Zr), and the refractory layer contains a cubic crystal phase and has a hardness of at least 25 GPa, high hardness and low residual stress Abrasion-resistant coated tools have been proposed.
また、特許文献２には、工具基体表面にＴｉＡｌＮ層からなる硬質被覆層を被覆した被覆工具において、上記硬質被覆層が、層厚方向にそって、Ａｌ最高含有点（Ｔｉ最低含有点）とＡｌ最低含有点（Ｔｉ最高含有点）とが所定間隔をおいて交互に繰り返し存在し、かつ前記Ａｌ最高含有点から前記Ａｌ最低含有点、前記Ａｌ最低含有点から前記Ａｌ最高含有点へＡｌ（Ｔｉ）含有量が連続的に変化する成分濃度分布構造を有し、さらに、上記Ａｌ最高含有点が、組成式：（Ｔｉ１−ＸＡｌＸ）Ｎ（ただし、原子比で、Ｘは０．７０〜０．９５を示す）、上記Ａｌ最低含有点が、組成式：（Ｔｉ１−ＹＡｌＹ ）Ｎ（ただし、原子比で、Ｙは０．４０〜０．６５を示す）、をそれぞれ満足し、かつ隣り合う上記Ａｌ最高含有点とＡｌ最低含有点の間隔が、０．０１〜０．１μｍである耐摩耗性にすぐれた被覆工具が提案されている。 Further, in Patent Document 2, in a coated tool in which a hard coating layer composed of a TiAlN layer is coated on the surface of a tool base, the hard coating layer has an Al maximum content point (Ti minimum content point) along the layer thickness direction. Al lowest content points (Ti highest content points) are alternately present at predetermined intervals, and the Al highest content point to the Al lowest content point, the Al lowest content point to the Al highest content point Al ( Ti) It has a component concentration distribution structure in which the content changes continuously, and the Al highest content point is the composition formula: (Ti 1-X Al X ) N (wherein the atomic ratio, X is 0. 70 to 0.95), and the above-mentioned lowest Al content point is a composition formula: (Ti 1-Y Al Y ) N (wherein Y represents 0.40 to 0.65 in atomic ratio), respectively. Satisfied and adjacent Al highest content point and Al lowest Distance Yu points, coated tool having excellent wear resistance is 0.01~0.1μm have been proposed.
近年の切削加工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、切削加工はますます高速化・高能率化の傾向にあるが、上記従来の被覆工具においては、これを鋼や鋳鉄などの通常の切削条件での切削加工に用いた場合には、特段の問題は生じないが、これを、例えば、合金鋼等の断続切削加工のような、高熱発生を伴い、しかも、切刃に対して衝撃的・断続的な高負荷がかかる切削加工に用いた場合には、クラックの発生・伝播を十分に抑制することができず、また、摩耗進行も促進されるため、比較的短時間で使用寿命に至ることが現状である。 In recent years, the performance of cutting machines has been dramatically improved, while there is a strong demand for labor saving, energy saving, and cost reduction for cutting, and as a result, cutting has become a trend toward higher speed and higher efficiency. However, in the above-mentioned conventional coated tool, when this is used for cutting under normal cutting conditions such as steel and cast iron, no particular problem occurs. When used for cutting that involves high heat generation, such as intermittent cutting, and that imposes an impact and intermittent high load on the cutting edge, the generation and propagation of cracks should be sufficiently suppressed. In addition, since the progress of wear is not promoted, the service life is reached in a relatively short time.
例えば、特許文献１に示される従来被覆工具においては、Ｍ１−ｘＡｌｘＮの一つの形態であるＴｉＡｌＮ層は高硬度で耐摩耗性にすぐれる層であり、Ａｌ含有量が多いほど耐摩耗性にすぐれるが、その一方で、格子歪が大きくなるため、耐チッピング性が低下するという問題がある。
また、特許文献２に示される従来被覆工具においては、層厚方向に組成変化を形成することで高温硬さと耐熱性、靱性を両立せしめることができるが、層内の異方性によって、層厚に垂直方向のクラックの発生・伝播を十分に防止することはできないという問題がある。
For example, in the conventional coated tool shown in Patent Document 1, a TiAlN layer which is one form of M 1-x Al x N is a layer having high hardness and excellent wear resistance, and the higher the Al content, the more resistant it is. Although it is excellent in wearability, on the other hand, there is a problem that chipping resistance is lowered because lattice strain increases.
Moreover, in the conventional coated tool shown in Patent Document 2, it is possible to achieve both high-temperature hardness, heat resistance, and toughness by forming a composition change in the layer thickness direction. However, there is a problem that the generation and propagation of vertical cracks cannot be sufficiently prevented.
そこで、本発明者等は、上述の観点から、合金鋼などの断続切削加工のような、高熱発生を伴い、しかも、切刃に対して衝撃的・断続的な高負荷が作用する切削加工条件下で、硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐チッピング性と耐摩耗性を両立し得る被覆工具を開発すべく、硬質被覆層の成分組成、結晶構造および層構造等に着目し研究を行った結果、以下のような知見を得た。 Therefore, the present inventors, from the above-mentioned viewpoint, are accompanied by high heat generation, such as intermittent cutting of alloy steel, and the cutting conditions under which a shocking and intermittent high load acts on the cutting blade. Below, as a result of conducting research focusing on the component composition, crystal structure and layer structure of the hard coating layer in order to develop a coated tool that can achieve both chipping resistance and wear resistance with excellent hard coating layer, The following knowledge was obtained.
すなわち、本発明者は、工具基体表面に、ＴｉとＡｌの複合窒化物（以下、「ＴｉＡｌＮ」で示す場合がある。）層からなる硬質被覆層を形成した被覆工具において、該層におけるＡｌのＴｉとＡｌとの合量に占める組成割合を比較的高くし、もって、硬質被覆層全体としての耐摩耗性を確保するとともに、該層内には、少なくとも、工具基体表面の法線とのなす角度が３０度以下の方向に、Ｔｉ成分の組成が相対的に高い帯状領域（以下、「高Ｔｉ帯状領域」という場合がある。）を形成することによって、前記特許文献２に示されるような異方性を有する硬質被覆層によってもたらされる剥離発生という問題点を解消するとともに、靱性を有する高Ｔｉ帯状領域が切削加工時の衝撃的、断続的な負荷を吸収・緩和することによって、硬質被覆層中のクラックの発生・伝播を抑制し、これらを原因とするチッピング発生を抑制し得る、という知見を得た。
したがって、この知見に基づいて作成された被覆工具は、高熱発生を伴い、しかも、切刃に対して衝撃的・断続的な高負荷が作用する断続切削加工条件下で、すぐれた耐チッピング性と耐摩耗性を両立することができるのである。
That is, the present inventor, in a coated tool in which a hard coating layer composed of a composite nitride of Ti and Al (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “TiAlN”) layer is formed on the tool base surface, The composition ratio in the total amount of Ti and Al is made relatively high, so that the wear resistance of the hard coating layer as a whole is ensured, and at least the normal of the tool substrate surface is formed in the layer. By forming a band-like region having a relatively high Ti component composition (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “high Ti band-like region”) in a direction with an angle of 30 degrees or less, as shown in Patent Document 2 above. While eliminating the problem of exfoliation caused by the hard coating layer having anisotropy, the high Ti band-like region having toughness absorbs and relieves shocking and intermittent loads during cutting, thereby making it hard Suppressing crack generation and propagation in Kutsugaeso can suppress chipping occurrence caused them to obtain a finding that.
Therefore, the coated tool created based on this knowledge has high heat generation and excellent chipping resistance under intermittent cutting conditions in which impact and intermittent high loads act on the cutting edge. It is possible to achieve both wear resistance.
本発明者は、上記知見を基にして、硬質被覆層に形成する高Ｔｉ帯状領域の工具基体の法線方向に対する角度について、更に研究を行ったところ、新たに、以下の知見を得た。 Based on the above knowledge, the present inventor conducted further research on the angle of the high Ti band-shaped region formed in the hard coating layer with respect to the normal direction of the tool substrate, and newly obtained the following knowledge.
すなわち、ＴｉＡｌＮ層からなる硬質被覆層を形成した被覆工具において、該層内に工具基体表面の法線とのなす角が３５度以上７０度以下の方向に高Ｔｉ帯状領域を形成することによっても、前記特許文献２に示されるような異方性を有する硬質被覆層によってもたらされる剥離発生という問題点を解消するとともに、靱性を有する高Ｔｉ帯状領域が切削加工時の衝撃的、断続的な負荷を吸収・緩和することによって、硬質被覆層中のクラックの発生・伝播を抑制し、これらを原因とするチッピング発生を抑制し得ることを知見した。さらに、該層内に工具基体表面の法線とのなす角が３５度以上７０度以下の方向に高Ｔｉ帯状領域を形成されることにより、硬質被覆層表面から基材方向に伸展するクラックの伝播を抑制することが分かった。
したがって、これら知見に基づいて作製された被覆工具も、高熱発生を伴い、しかも、切刃に対して衝撃的・断続的な高負荷が作用する断続切削加工条件下で、すぐれた耐チッピング性と耐摩耗性を両立することができるのである。
That is, in a coated tool in which a hard coating layer made of a TiAlN layer is formed, a high Ti band-shaped region is formed in the direction in which the angle formed with the normal line of the tool base surface is not less than 35 degrees and not more than 70 degrees. In addition to solving the problem of occurrence of delamination caused by the hard coating layer having anisotropy as shown in Patent Document 2, the high Ti band-like region having toughness has an impact and intermittent load during cutting. It has been found that by absorbing and mitigating, the generation and propagation of cracks in the hard coating layer can be suppressed, and the occurrence of chipping caused by these can be suppressed. Furthermore, by forming a high Ti band-shaped region in the direction in which the angle between the normal to the tool substrate surface is not less than 35 degrees and not more than 70 degrees in the layer, cracks extending from the surface of the hard coating layer toward the base material are formed. It was found to suppress propagation.
Therefore, the coated tool produced based on these findings also has excellent chipping resistance under intermittent cutting conditions where high heat is generated and impact / intermittent high load acts on the cutting edge. It is possible to achieve both wear resistance.

It is characterized by.
本発明の被覆工具は、硬質被覆層を構成するＴｉＡｌＮ層中に、ＴｉＡｌＮ層のＴｉ成分の平均組成ｘに比して、Ｔｉ成分の組成が相対的に高い高Ｔｉ帯状領域が、工具基体表面の法線とのなす角度が３５度以上７０度以下の方向に存在することによって、硬質被覆層の層厚方向に特性、特に靱性に富む高Ｔｉ帯状領域が連続して存在することとなり、これによって硬質被覆層全体の特性の異方性が解消されて耐剥離性が向上し、またさらに、靱性を有する高Ｔｉ帯状領域が切削加工時の衝撃的、断続的な負荷を吸収・緩和することによって、硬質被覆層中のクラックの発生・伝播が抑制され、さらに、これらを原因とするチッピング発生が抑制されることによって、高熱発生を伴い、しかも、切刃に対して衝撃的・断続的な高負荷が作用する断続切削加工条件に供された場合であっても、すぐれた耐チッピング性と耐摩耗性を両立することができる。 In the coated tool of the present invention, the TiAlN layer constituting the hard coating layer has a high Ti band-like region having a relatively high Ti component composition compared to the average composition x of the Ti component of the TiAlN layer. When the angle formed with the normal line is in the direction of not less than 35 degrees and not more than 70 degrees, a high Ti band-like region rich in characteristics, particularly toughness, is continuously present in the layer thickness direction of the hard coating layer. This eliminates the anisotropy of the properties of the entire hard coating layer and improves the peel resistance, and furthermore, the tough high Ti band region absorbs and relieves shocking and intermittent loads during cutting. This suppresses the generation and propagation of cracks in the hard coating layer, and further suppresses the generation of chipping caused by these, resulting in high heat generation and impact / intermittent on the cutting edge. High load acts Even when subjected to intermittent cutting conditions, it is possible to achieve both excellent chipping resistance and wear resistance.
次に、本発明の被覆工具について、詳細に説明する。 Next, the coated tool of the present invention will be described in detail.
ＴｉＡｌＮ層の平均層厚：
硬質被覆層は、少なくともＴｉＡｌＮ層を含むが、該ＴｉＡｌＮ層の平均層厚が０．５μｍ未満では、ＴｉＡｌＮ層によって付与される長期の耐摩耗性向上効果が十分に得られず、一方、平均層厚が８．０μｍを超えると、欠損やチッピングが発生しやすくなることがあるため、ＴｉＡｌＮ層の平均層厚を０．５〜８．０μｍとする。
Average thickness of the TiAlN layer:
The hard coating layer includes at least a TiAlN layer, but if the average thickness of the TiAlN layer is less than 0.5 μm, the long-term wear resistance improving effect imparted by the TiAlN layer cannot be sufficiently obtained, while the average layer If the thickness exceeds 8.0 μm, defects and chipping may easily occur. Therefore, the average thickness of the TiAlN layer is set to 0.5 to 8.0 μm.
ＴｉＡｌＮ層の平均組成：
ＴｉＡｌＮ層を、
組成式：（ＴｉｘＡｌ１−ｘ）Ｎ
で表した場合、０．１０≦ｘ≦０．３５（ただし、ｘは原子比）を満足する平均組成を有することが必要である。
Ｔｉ成分の平均組成を表すｘが０．１０未満である場合には、六方晶構造のＴｉＡｌＮ結晶粒が形成されやすくなり、ＴｉＡｌＮ層の硬度が低下し高速切削において十分な耐摩耗性を得ることができない。
一方、Ｔｉ成分の平均組成を表すｘが０．３５を超える場合には、Ａｌ成分の組成割合が減少するため、ＴｉＡｌＮ層の高温硬さおよび高温耐酸化性が低下する。
したがって、Ｔｉ成分の平均組成ｘは、０．１０≦ｘ≦０．３５とする。
なお、工具基体表面の汚染の影響などで不可避的に検出される炭素や酸素などの元素を除いてＴｉ、Ａｌ、Ｎの含有割合の原子比を定量し、ＴｉとＡｌとＮの含有割合の原子比の合計に対するＮの含有割合が０．４５以上０．６５以下の範囲であれば、上記ｘの範囲が満足される限り、同等の効果が得られ特に問題は無い。
Average composition of TiAlN layer:
TiAlN layer,
Composition formula: (Ti x Al 1-x ) N
It is necessary to have an average composition that satisfies 0.10 ≦ x ≦ 0.35 (where x is an atomic ratio).
When x representing the average composition of the Ti component is less than 0.10, TiAlN crystal grains having a hexagonal crystal structure are easily formed, the hardness of the TiAlN layer is lowered, and sufficient wear resistance is obtained in high-speed cutting. I can't.
On the other hand, when x representing the average composition of the Ti component exceeds 0.35, the composition ratio of the Al component decreases, so that the high-temperature hardness and high-temperature oxidation resistance of the TiAlN layer decrease.
Accordingly, the average composition x of the Ti component is 0.10 ≦ x ≦ 0.35.
The atomic ratio of the content ratio of Ti, Al, and N is quantified excluding elements such as carbon and oxygen that are inevitably detected due to the contamination of the tool base surface, and the content ratio of Ti, Al, and N is determined. If the content ratio of N with respect to the total atomic ratio is in the range of 0.45 or more and 0.65 or less, the same effect can be obtained as long as the range of x is satisfied, and there is no particular problem.
ＴｉＡｌＮ層中の立方晶構造の結晶粒の平均面積割合Ｓ：
本発明のＴｉＡｌＮ層では、Ａｌ成分の平均組成割合１−ｘ（ただし、１−ｘは原子比）を０．６５〜０．９０と高くしているため、ＴｉＡｌＮ層は、立方晶構造の結晶粒と六方晶構造の結晶粒の混合組織からなるが、ＴｉＡｌＮ層の縦断面に占める立方晶構造の結晶粒の平均面積割合Ｓ（面積％）は３０面積％以上とすることが望ましい。
これは、立方晶構造の結晶粒の平均面積割合Ｓが３０面積％未満では、相対的に、六方晶構造の結晶粒の面積割合が増加するためＴｉＡｌＮ層の硬さが低下し、その結果、耐摩耗性が低下することがあるためである。
なお、立方晶構造の結晶粒の平均面積割合Ｓは、例えば、電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡と電子線後方散乱回折装置を用いて、ＴｉＡｌＮ層の工具基体表面に垂直な方向の断面（縦断面）を測定することにより求めることができる。
Average area ratio S of cubic structure crystal grains in the TiAlN layer:
In the TiAlN layer of the present invention, since the average composition ratio 1-x (where 1-x is an atomic ratio) of the Al component is as high as 0.65 to 0.90, the TiAlN layer is a crystal having a cubic structure. Although it is composed of a mixed structure of grains and hexagonal crystal grains, the average area ratio S (area%) of cubic crystal grains in the longitudinal section of the TiAlN layer is preferably 30 area% or more.
This is because when the average area ratio S of the cubic structure crystal grains is less than 30% by area, the area ratio of the hexagonal crystal grains is relatively increased, so that the hardness of the TiAlN layer is decreased. This is because the wear resistance may decrease.
Note that the average area ratio S of crystal grains having a cubic crystal structure is, for example, a cross section (longitudinal section) in a direction perpendicular to the tool base surface of the TiAlN layer using a field emission scanning electron microscope and an electron beam backscatter diffraction apparatus. Can be determined by measuring.
高Ｔｉ帯状領域：
ＴｉＡｌＮ層中に、Ｔｉ成分の平均組成ｘに比して、Ｔｉ成分の平均組成ｘが相対的に高い高Ｔｉ帯状領域は、次の（１）〜（５）のとおりである。
High Ti strip region:
In the TiAlN layer, the high Ti band-like regions in which the average composition x of the Ti component is relatively higher than the average composition x of the Ti component are as follows (1) to (5).
（１）工具基体表面の法線とのなす角
本発明では、工具基体表面の法線とのなす角度が３５度以上７０度以下の方向となるように形成する（図１を参照）。
この角度範囲とした理由は、３５度未満であると、高切込み等の切れ刃に高負荷が掛かる切削において硬質被覆層の表面のクラック発生・進展が生じやすく、一方、７０度を超えると硬質被覆層が積層膜であるときと同様の層厚方向の剥離が生じやすくなるためである。
なお、本発明の知見に先行する知見において、３０度以下であれば、層厚方向の異方性がないためＴｉＡｌＮ層の剥離が生じることはなく、しかも、高Ｔｉ帯状領域の存在によって靱性が向上し、切削加工時に断続的・衝撃的負荷が作用しても、ＴｉＡｌＮ層のチッピング発生、欠損発生が抑制されることがわかっている。しかし、後述する切削試験２の結果が示すように、より高負荷の切削性能は、３０度以下の範囲では、３５度以上７０度以下には及ばず、７０度を超える範囲の切削条件よりもすぐれ、さらには、高Ｔｉ帯状組織の存在しないものよりも一層すぐれていることがわかった。
この角度の測定は、高Ｔｉ帯状領域の特定がなされた後に行うものであるから、後述する「高Ｔｉ帯状領域の特定」の欄で説明する。
(1) Angle formed with the normal line on the tool base surface In the present invention, the angle formed with the normal line on the tool base surface is set to be in the direction of 35 degrees or more and 70 degrees or less (see FIG. 1).
The reason for this angle range is that if it is less than 35 degrees, cracks on the surface of the hard coating layer are likely to occur and progress in cutting where a high load is applied to the cutting edge such as a high depth of cut, while if it exceeds 70 degrees, it is hard. This is because peeling in the layer thickness direction is likely to occur as in the case where the coating layer is a laminated film.
In addition, in the knowledge preceding the knowledge of the present invention, if it is 30 degrees or less, there is no anisotropy in the layer thickness direction, so that the TiAlN layer does not peel off, and the toughness is obtained due to the presence of the high Ti band region. It has been found that even when intermittent / impact loads are applied during cutting, chipping and chipping of the TiAlN layer are suppressed. However, as shown in the results of the cutting test 2 to be described later, the higher-load cutting performance does not reach 35 degrees or more and 70 degrees or less in the range of 30 degrees or less, but more than the cutting conditions in the range exceeding 70 degrees. It was found to be superior and even better than the absence of a high Ti band structure.
The measurement of the angle is performed after the high Ti band-shaped region is specified, and will be described in the section “Specifying the high Ti band-shaped region” described later.
（２）Ｔｉ成分の平均組成
高Ｔｉ帯状領域のＴｉ成分の平均組成をＹとした場合、ＴｉとＡｌの複合窒化物層におけるＴｉ成分の平均組成ｘとＹは、（ｘ＋０．０１）≦Ｙ≦（ｘ＋０．０５）の関係を満足することが好ましい。
これは、Ｙが（ｘ＋０．０１）未満であると、ＴｉＡｌＮ層全体に対して高Ｔｉ帯状領域の靱性が十分ではないため衝撃の吸収・緩和が不十分なときがあり、（ｘ＋０．０５）を超えると、高Ｔｉ帯状領域が必要な硬度を得ることができず、ＴｉＡｌＮ層全体の耐摩耗性が低下してしまうことがあるためである。
(2) Average composition of Ti component When the average composition of the Ti component in the high Ti band region is Y, the average composition x and Y of the Ti component in the composite nitride layer of Ti and Al is (x + 0.01) ≦ Y It is preferable to satisfy the relationship of ≦ (x + 0.05).
This is because when Y is less than (x + 0.01), the toughness of the high Ti band-like region is not sufficient with respect to the entire TiAlN layer, so that absorption / relaxation of impact may be insufficient, and (x + 0.05) This is because the hardness required for the high Ti band-like region cannot be obtained and the wear resistance of the entire TiAlN layer may be deteriorated.
（３）平均幅Ｗ
高Ｔｉ帯状領域の幅とは、図１に示すように、高Ｔｉ帯状領域が傾斜している角度に対して垂直な方向における幅をいい、一例として、その平均幅Ｗは３０〜５００ｎｍであることが望ましい。
これは、前記Ｗが３０ｎｍ未満では、ＴｉＡｌＮ層が全体としてほぼ均質な組成となるため、靱性向上効果、衝撃の吸収・緩和効果を期待することができないことがあり、一方、前記Ｗが５００ｎｍを超えると、ＴｉＡｌＮ層中に部分的な低硬度領域が形成され、偏摩耗発生等により耐摩耗性が低下することがあるという理由による。
なお、高Ｔｉ帯状領域の幅とは、後記するように、例えば、透過型電子顕微鏡（ＴＥＭ）を用いたエネルギー分散型Ｘ線分析法（ＥＤＳ）（以下、「ＴＥＭ−ＥＤＳ」という。）によりＴｉＡｌＮ層の縦断面のＴｉ成分の組成を測定した場合に、Ｔｉ成分の平均組成Ｙが、前記した（ｘ＋０．０１）≦Ｙ≦（ｘ＋０．０５）の関係を満たすＴｉ帯状領域の幅である。
(3) Average width W
As shown in FIG. 1, the width of the high Ti strip region refers to the width in a direction perpendicular to the angle at which the high Ti strip region is inclined. As an example, the average width W is 30 to 500 nm. It is desirable.
This is because when the W is less than 30 nm, the TiAlN layer has a substantially homogeneous composition as a whole, and therefore it may not be possible to expect a toughness improving effect and an impact absorbing / relaxing effect, while the W is less than 500 nm. If it exceeds the upper limit, a partial low hardness region is formed in the TiAlN layer, and wear resistance may be lowered due to occurrence of uneven wear or the like.
Note that the width of the high Ti band-shaped region is, for example, by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) (hereinafter referred to as “TEM-EDS”) using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), as will be described later. When the composition of the Ti component in the longitudinal section of the TiAlN layer is measured, the average composition Y of the Ti component is the width of the Ti strip region that satisfies the relationship (x + 0.01) ≦ Y ≦ (x + 0.05) described above. .
（４）平均面積割合Ｓｔ
高Ｔｉ帯状領域がＴｉＡｌＮ層に占める平均面積割合Ｓｔは、３〜５０面積％であることが望ましい。
これは、Ｓｔが３面積％未満の場合には、高Ｔｉ帯状領域を形成したことによる靱性向上効果、衝撃の吸収・緩和効果が少ないため、耐チッピング性の改善度合いが低いことがあり、一方、Ｓｔが５０面積％を超える場合には、高Ｔｉ帯状領域が低硬度領域として形成され、その結果、偏摩耗発生等により耐摩耗性が低下することがある、という理由による。
(4) Average area ratio St
The average area ratio St occupied by the high Ti strip region in the TiAlN layer is desirably 3 to 50 area%.
This is because when St is less than 3% by area, the toughness improving effect and impact absorbing / relaxing effect due to the formation of the high Ti band-like region are small, and the improvement degree of chipping resistance may be low. When St exceeds 50 area%, the high Ti band-like region is formed as a low hardness region, and as a result, wear resistance may be reduced due to the occurrence of uneven wear or the like.
（５）高Ｔｉ帯状領域の特定
少なくとも５００ｎｍの帯状の幅が入る視野で測定したＴＥＭ−ＥＤＳによる測定像において、基体表面の法線とのなす角が３５度以上７０度以下である直線上の複数の測定点におけるＴｉ成分の組成Ｙが、所定のＴｉの濃度の高い領域、例えば、（ｘ＋０．０１）以上（ｘ＋０．０５）以下の範囲内（なお、ｘは、既述したＴｉＡｌＮ層全体におけるＴｉ成分の平均組成）にあるか否かによって、該直線が高Ｔｉ帯状領域に属するか直線であるか否かを判定する。
ついで、前記直線が高Ｔｉ帯状領域に属する場合には、該直線に直交する方向にＴｉ成分の組成を測定し、測定したＴｉ成分の組成が、当該所定のＴｉの濃度の高い領域、例えば、（ｘ＋０．０１）≦Ｙ≦（ｘ＋０．０５）の関係から外れる位置を、高Ｔｉ帯状領域の境界として特定する。
それから、前記で特定された高Ｔｉ帯状領域の複数位置においてＴｉ成分の組成を測定し、これらを平均することによって、高Ｔｉ帯状領域におけるＴｉ成分の平均組成Ｙを求めることができる。
また、前記で特定された高Ｔｉ帯状領域の輪郭を確定し、複数位置における幅を測定し、これらを平均することによって、高Ｔｉ帯状領域の平均幅Ｗを求めることができる。
そして、この確定された高Ｔｉ帯状領域の輪郭を、当該高Ｔｉ帯状領域の境界線として、工具基体表面の法線となす角度を測定し、この測定した角度を各高Ｔｉ帯状領域ごとに平均したものを工具基体の法線となす角とする。
(5) Identification of high Ti band-like region In a measurement image by TEM-EDS measured in a field of view where a band width of at least 500 nm enters, on a straight line whose angle formed with the normal of the substrate surface is not less than 35 degrees and not more than 70 degrees The composition Y of the Ti component at a plurality of measurement points is within a predetermined high Ti concentration region, for example, in the range of (x + 0.01) to (x + 0.05) (where x is the entire TiAlN layer described above) It is determined whether the straight line belongs to the high Ti band-like region or is a straight line depending on whether or not it is in the average composition of the Ti component.
Next, when the straight line belongs to the high Ti band-shaped region, the composition of the Ti component is measured in a direction orthogonal to the straight line, and the measured Ti component composition is a region having a high concentration of the predetermined Ti, for example, A position deviating from the relationship of (x + 0.01) ≦ Y ≦ (x + 0.05) is specified as the boundary of the high Ti band-shaped region.
Then, the average composition Y of the Ti component in the high Ti strip region can be obtained by measuring the composition of the Ti component at a plurality of positions of the high Ti strip region specified above and averaging them.
Moreover, the average width W of the high Ti strip region can be obtained by determining the outline of the high Ti strip region specified above, measuring the widths at a plurality of positions, and averaging these.
Then, the angle between the determined contour of the high Ti strip region and the normal of the tool base surface is measured as the boundary line of the high Ti strip region, and the measured angle is averaged for each high Ti strip region. This is the angle between the tool base and the normal.
結晶構造と面積割合の測定：
本発明のＴｉＡｌＮ層は、立方晶構造の結晶粒と六方晶構造の結晶粒の混合組織からなるが、結晶構造と面積割合は、例えば、電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡と電子線後方散乱回折装置を用いて、ＴｉＡｌＮ層の工具基体表面に垂直な方向の断面（縦断面）を測定することにより求めることができる。
より具体的に言えば、ＴｉＡｌＮ層の工具基体表面に垂直な方向の断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、前記断面研磨面の測定範囲内に存在する結晶粒個々に照射し、工具基体と水平方向に長さ１００μｍ、工具基体表面と垂直な方向の断面に沿って層厚以下の距離の測定範囲内について０．０１μｍ／ｓｔｅｐの間隔で、電子線後方散乱回折像を測定し、個々の結晶粒の結晶構造を解析することで、立方晶構造の結晶粒の面積割合を測定することができる。
上記測定を５箇所の測定範囲で行い、これらの平均値として、立方晶構造の結晶粒の平均面積割合Ｓを算出する。なお、０．０１μｍ／ｓｔｅｐの間隔とした測定点は、より詳細には、測定範囲内を充填するように一辺が０．０１μｍの正三角形を配置して、その各々の正三角形の頂点を測定点としており、一つの測定点での測定結果はこの正三角形一つの面積の測定結果を代表する測定結果となっている。従って、上記に示したように、測定点数の割合から面積割合が求められる。
Measurement of crystal structure and area ratio:
The TiAlN layer of the present invention is composed of a mixed structure of cubic crystal grains and hexagonal crystal grains. The crystal structure and area ratio can be determined by, for example, using a field emission scanning electron microscope and an electron beam backscatter diffraction apparatus. It can be obtained by measuring the cross section (longitudinal section) of the TiAlN layer in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the tool substrate.
More specifically, the TiAlN layer is set in a lens barrel of a field emission scanning electron microscope in a state where the cross section in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the tool substrate is a polished surface, and an incident angle of 70 degrees on the polished surface. An electron beam with an acceleration voltage of 15 kV is irradiated at an irradiation current of 1 nA to individual crystal grains existing within the measurement range of the cross-section polished surface, and the length is 100 μm in the horizontal direction with respect to the tool base, and the direction perpendicular to the tool base surface. A cubic structure is obtained by measuring an electron beam backscatter diffraction image at an interval of 0.01 μm / step and analyzing a crystal structure of each crystal grain within a measurement range of a distance equal to or less than the layer thickness along the cross section of The area ratio of crystal grains can be measured.
The said measurement is performed in the measurement range of five places, and average area ratio S of the crystal grain of a cubic structure is computed as these average values. More specifically, the measurement points with an interval of 0.01 μm / step are arranged in more detail by arranging equilateral triangles with a side of 0.01 μm so as to fill the measurement range and measuring the apexes of the equilateral triangles. The measurement result at one measurement point is a measurement result representing the measurement result of the area of one equilateral triangle. Therefore, as shown above, the area ratio is obtained from the ratio of the number of measurement points.

前記特徴を備える本発明のＴｉＡｌＮ層は、例えば、以下の方法によって成膜することができる。

図２（ａ）、（ｂ）に示すＡＩＰ装置内に、所定組成のＴｉ−Ａｌ合金ターゲットを配置するとともに、ＷＣ基超硬合金、ＴｉＣＮ基サーメットおよびｃＢＮ焼結体のいずれかからなる工具基体をＡＩＰ装置の回転テーブル上に載置し、工具基体に対するボンバード前処理および工具基体の温度（成膜温度）、Ｎ２ガス圧、成膜時のバイアス電圧、バイアス電圧上昇速度を制御してアーク放電を発生させることにより、本発明のＴｉＡｌＮ層を成膜することができる。
特に、低バイアス電圧による処理から高バイアス電圧の処理に漸次変化させることで、自発的にＴｉ成分の組成分布を形成させ、さらに、工具基体の温度（成膜温度）とＮ２ガス圧、バイアス電圧、バイアス電圧上昇速度の制御により、工具基体表面の法線とのなす角度が３５度以上７０度以下の方向に平行な結晶方位に沿う原子の積層関係を制御し、本発明に規定する高Ｔｉ帯状領域を形成することができる。

In particular, by gradually changing from low bias voltage processing to high bias voltage processing, the Ti component composition distribution is spontaneously formed, and the tool base temperature (film formation temperature), N 2 gas pressure, bias By controlling the voltage and bias voltage increase rate, the stacking relationship of atoms along the crystal orientation parallel to the direction in which the angle formed with the normal to the tool base surface is not less than 35 degrees and not more than 70 degrees is controlled. Ti band-like regions can be formed.

Each of the tool bases 1 and 2 is ultrasonically cleaned in acetone and dried, and is placed on the outer peripheral portion at a predetermined distance in the radial direction from the central axis on the rotary table of the AIP apparatus shown in FIG. Along with this, a Ti-Al alloy target (cathode electrode) having a predetermined composition is arranged in the AIP apparatus,
First, while evacuating the inside of the apparatus and maintaining the vacuum, the tool base is heated to the temperature shown in Table 2 with a heater, and then the DC bias voltage shown in Table 2 is applied to the tool base that rotates while rotating on the rotary table. And applying an arc current shown in Table 2 to a Ti-Al alloy target (cathode electrode) to generate an arc discharge, thereby bombard cleaning the tool base surface,
Next, nitrogen gas is introduced as a reaction gas into the apparatus to obtain the N 2 gas pressure shown in Table 2, and the temperature of the tool base rotating while rotating on the rotary table is maintained within the temperature range shown in Table 2. Then, an arc current shown in Table 2 is passed through the Ti—Al alloy target (cathode electrode) to generate arc discharge, and a DC low bias voltage shown in Table 2 is applied to the tool base for a predetermined time shown in Table 2. Then, along the rising speed shown in Table 2, when the horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis is the bias voltage (-V), the bias voltage is increased in a linear or stepwise manner. By applying a DC high bias voltage shown in FIG. 2 to form a TiAlN layer, the target average layer thickness, the Ti component average composition x, the average area ratio S of cubic crystal grains shown in Table 4, Predetermined high Ti strip area Invention coated tools 1 to 10 (hereinafter referred to as present invention tools 1 to 10) having (average composition Y of Ti component, average width W, average area ratio St) were produced, respectively.
比較の目的で、図２に示すＡＩＰ装置を用いて、表３に示すボンバード条件、同じく表３に示す成膜条件でＴｉＡｌＮ層を形成することにより、表５に示す比較例被覆工具１〜１３（以下、比較例工具１〜１３という）をそれぞれ製造した。 For the purpose of comparison, by using the AIP apparatus shown in FIG. 2, a TiAlN layer is formed under the bombardment conditions shown in Table 3 and the film formation conditions shown in Table 3 to thereby produce comparative example coated tools 1 to 13 shown in Table 5. (Hereinafter referred to as Comparative Examples Tools 1 to 13) were produced.

表４、表５に、それぞれの値を示す。
For the TiAlN layers of the inventive tools 1 to 10 and comparative example tools 1 to 13 prepared above, the cross-section was measured using a scanning electron microscope, and the average layer thickness was calculated from the average value of the five measured values.
Further, the composition of the Ti component in the TiAlN layer was measured by a TEM-EDS in a visual field range of 0.4 μm or more in three film thickness directions and 1 μm or more in a direction parallel to the substrate surface, and the average value of the measured values was calculated. The average composition x of the Ti component of the TiAlN layer was obtained.
Tables 4 and 5 show the respective values.
また、本発明工具１〜１０および比較例工具１〜１３のＴｉＡｌＮ層について、ＴＥＭ−ＥＤＳにより、ＴｉＡｌＮ層における高Ｔｉ帯状領域の存在の有無を確認するとともに、高Ｔｉ帯状領域が存在する場合には、該領域におけるＴｉ成分の平均組成Ｙ、該領域の平均幅Ｗ、該領域がＴｉＡｌＮ層の縦断面に占める平均面積割合Ｓｔを求めた。
具体的には、図１に示すようなＴｉＡｌＮ層の縦断面について、少なくとも５００ｎｍの帯状の幅が入る視野で測定したＴＥＭ−ＥＤＳによる測定像において、基体表面の法線とのなす角が３５度以上７０度以下である直線上の複数の測定点におけるＴｉ成分の組成を測定し、該測定値が（ｘ＋０．０１）以上（ｘ＋０．０５）以下の範囲内にあるか否かによって、該直線が高Ｔｉ帯状領域に属するか直線であるか否かを判定する。
次に、前記直線が高Ｔｉ帯状領域に属する直線であると判定された場合には、該直線に直交する方向にＴｉ成分の組成を測定し、測定したＴｉ成分の組成が、（ｘ＋０．０１）≦Ｙ≦（ｘ＋０．０５）の関係から外れる位置を、高Ｔｉ帯状領域の境界として特定する。
ついで、前記で特定された高Ｔｉ帯状領域の複数位置においてＴｉ成分の組成を測定し、これらを平均することによって、高Ｔｉ帯状領域におけるＴｉ成分の平均組成Ｙを求める。
つづいて、前記で特定された高Ｔｉ帯状領域の輪郭を確定し、複数位置における幅を測定し、これらを平均することによって、高Ｔｉ帯状領域の平均幅Ｗを求める。

表６および表７に示される結果から、本発明の被覆工具は、硬質被覆層としてＴｉＡｌＮ層を含み、該ＴｉＡｌＮ層には、高Ｔｉ帯状領域が、工具基体表面の法線とのなす角度が３５度以上７０度以下の方向に存在していることから、これによって、靱性が向上し、かつ、層中の層厚方向の異方性がないために、高熱発生を伴い、しかも、切刃に対して衝撃的・断続的な高負荷が作用する合金鋼の断続切削加工において、すぐれた耐チッピング性と耐摩耗性を発揮する。 From the results shown in Tables 6 and 7, the coated tool of the present invention includes a TiAlN layer as a hard coating layer, and the TiAlN layer has an angle formed between the high Ti band-shaped region and the normal of the tool substrate surface. Since it exists in the direction of 35 degrees or more and 70 degrees or less, this improves the toughness, and there is no anisotropy in the layer thickness direction in the layer. It exhibits excellent chipping resistance and wear resistance in intermittent cutting of alloy steel that is subjected to shock and intermittent high loads.
これに対して、ＴｉＡｌＮ層中に、高Ｔｉ帯状領域が形成されていない比較例の被覆工具は、切削条件が余り厳しくない切削試験１の結果が示すように、また、高Ｔｉ帯状領域が形成されていたとしても工具基体表面の法線とのなす角度が３５度以上７０度以下にない比較例の被覆工具は、切削条件がより厳しい切削試験２の結果が示すように、比較的短時間で使用寿命に至ることが明らかである。 On the other hand, in the coated tool of the comparative example in which the high Ti band-shaped region is not formed in the TiAlN layer, as shown by the result of the cutting test 1 in which the cutting conditions are not so severe, the high Ti band-shaped region is formed. Even if it is made, the coated tool of the comparative example in which the angle formed with the normal line of the tool base surface is not more than 35 degrees and less than 70 degrees is relatively short as shown in the result of the cutting test 2 in which cutting conditions are more severe. It is clear that the service life is reached.
この発明の被覆工具は、合金鋼などの断続切削加工に供した場合に、すぐれた耐チッピング性とともに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から、切削加工装置のＦＡ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。 The coated tool of the present invention exhibits excellent chipping resistance and excellent wear resistance over a long period of use when subjected to intermittent cutting of alloy steel and the like. It is possible to sufficiently satisfy the demands for energy saving, cutting labor saving, energy saving, and cost reduction.
