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傾向にあるが、上記の従来被覆サーメット工具においては、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、特にこれを高速で、かつ切削油使用の湿式高速切削条件で用いた場合には、特に硬質被覆層を構成するα型Al23層の耐摩耗性が不十分であることから、摩耗が急速に進行するようになり、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. On the other hand, there is a strong demand for labor saving and energy saving and further cost reduction for cutting work, and along with this, cutting work tends to be further accelerated. For coated cermet tools, there is no problem when this is used for continuous cutting and interrupted cutting under normal conditions such as steel and cast iron, but this is especially true at high speeds and wet high speed cutting conditions using cutting oil. When used, the wear resistance of the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer that constitutes the hard coating layer is insufficient, so that the wear proceeds rapidly, and the service life is shortened in a relatively short time. This is the current situation.

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サーメット工具に着目し、特に前記α型Al23層の耐摩耗性向上を図るべく研究を行った結果、

(b)一方、上記の従来α型Al23層に代って、同じく通常の化学蒸着装置を用い、
反応ガス組成:容量%で、AlCl3:1〜5%、CO2:3〜7%、HCl:0.3〜3%、SF:0.1〜1%、H2:残り、
反応雰囲気温度:750〜900℃、
反応雰囲気圧力:55〜80kPa、
の相対的に低温高圧条件で、かつ反応ガスとして、H2Sに代ってSFを使用する条件で形成すると、この結果形成されたα型Al23層(以下、改質α型Al23層という)は、同じく電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡を用い、図1(a),(b)に示される通り、同じく表面研磨面の測定範囲内に存在する六方晶結晶格子を有する結晶粒個々に電子線を照射し、電子後方散乱回折像装置を用い、所定領域を0.1μm/stepの間隔で、前記研磨面の法線に対して、前記結晶粒の結晶面である(0001)面の法線がなす傾斜角を測定し、前記測定傾斜角のうち、45〜90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で現した場合、図2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、試験結果によれば、化学蒸着装置における反応雰囲気圧力を、上記の通り55〜80kPaの範囲内で変化させると、上記シャープな最高ピークの現れる位置が傾斜角区分の83〜89度の範囲内で変化すると共に、83〜90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45〜80%の割合を占めるようになり、この結果の傾斜角度数分布グラフにおいて83〜89度の範囲内に傾斜角区分の最高ピークが現れる改質α型Al23層は、上記の通常条件形成の従来α型Al23層に比して、一段とすぐれた耐摩耗性を示すこと。
(B) On the other hand, instead of the conventional α-type Al 2 O 3 layer, a normal chemical vapor deposition apparatus is used,
Reaction gas composition: by volume%, AlCl 3: 1~5%, CO 2: 3~7%, HCl: 0.3~3%, SF 6: 0.1~1%, H 2: remainder,
Reaction atmosphere temperature: 750 to 900 ° C.
Reaction atmosphere pressure: 55-80 kPa,
The α-type Al 2 O 3 layer formed as a result (hereinafter referred to as the modified α-type) is formed under the conditions of using SF 6 instead of H 2 S as the reaction gas under relatively low temperature and high pressure conditions. The Al 2 O 3 layer) has a hexagonal crystal lattice that is also present in the measurement range of the surface polished surface, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, using a field emission scanning electron microscope. Each crystal grain is irradiated with an electron beam and an electron backscatter diffraction image apparatus is used, and a predetermined region is a crystal plane of the crystal grain with respect to the normal line of the polished surface at an interval of 0.1 μm / step ( The tilt angle formed by the normal line of the (0001) plane is measured, and among the measured tilt angles, the measured tilt angles within the range of 45 to 90 degrees are divided for each pitch of 0.25 degrees, and within each section Fig. 2 shows an example of an inclination angle distribution graph that aggregates existing frequencies. As shown in the graph, a sharp maximum peak appears at a specific position in the tilt angle section. According to the test results, when the reaction atmosphere pressure in the chemical vapor deposition apparatus is changed within the range of 55 to 80 kPa as described above, the sharp maximum peak is obtained. The position at which the peak appears varies within the range of 83 to 89 degrees of the tilt angle section, and the total frequency existing within the range of 83 to 90 degrees is 45 to 80% of the total frequency in the tilt angle frequency distribution graph. The modified α-type Al 2 O 3 layer in which the highest peak of the tilt angle section appears in the range of 83 to 89 degrees in the tilt angle number distribution graph of the resulting tilt angle distribution graph is the conventional one for forming the above normal conditions Compared to the α-type Al 2 O 3 layer, it should have excellent wear resistance.

(c)したがって、下部層がTi化合物層からなる硬質被覆層の上部層である従来α型Al23層に代って、表面研磨面の測定で、(0001)面の測定傾斜角の分布が83〜89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、83〜90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45〜80%の割合を占める傾斜角度数分布グラフを示す改質α型Al23層で構成してなる被覆サーメット工具は、特に切削油使用の湿式高速切削条件で切削加工を行っても、前記硬質被覆層の上部層が、同じく(0001)面の測定傾斜角の分布が45〜90度の範囲内で不偏的な傾斜角度数分布グラフを示す前記従来α型Al23層で構成された従来被覆サーメット工具に比して、一段とすぐれた耐摩耗性を長期に亘って発揮するようになること。
以上(a)〜(c)に示される研究結果を得たのである。
(C) Therefore, instead of the conventional α-type Al 2 O 3 layer, which is the upper layer of the hard coating layer whose lower layer is a Ti compound layer, the measured inclination angle of the (0001) plane is The highest peak exists in the inclination angle section in which the distribution is in the range of 83 to 89 degrees, and the sum of the frequencies existing in the range of 83 to 90 degrees is 45 to 80% of the entire frequency in the inclination angle frequency distribution graph.

The research results shown in (a) to (c) above were obtained.

この発明は、上記の研究結果に基づいてなされたものであって、工具基体の表面に、
(a)下部層が、いずれも化学蒸着形成された、TiC層、TiN層、TiCN層、TiCO層、およびTiCNO層のうちの1層または2層以上からなり、かつ3〜20μmの全体平均層厚を有するTi化合物層、
(b)上部層が、1〜15μmの平均層厚を有するα型Al23層、
以上(a)および(b)で構成された硬質被覆層を蒸着形成してなる被覆サーメット工具において、
上記α型Al23層を、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六方晶結晶格子を有する結晶粒個々に電子線を照射し、電子後方散乱回折像装置を用い、所定領域を0.1μm/stepの間隔で、前記研磨面の法線に対して、前記結晶粒の結晶面である(0001)面の法線がなす傾斜角を測定し、前記測定傾斜角のうち、45〜90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で現した場合、83〜89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、83〜90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45〜80%の割合を占める傾斜角度数分布グラフを示す改質α型Al23層で構成してなる、
硬質被覆層が高速切削ですぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮する被覆サーメット工具に特徴を有するものである。
This invention was made based on the above research results, and on the surface of the tool base,
(A) The lower layer is formed of one or more of TiC layer, TiN layer, TiCN layer, TiCO layer, and TiCNO layer, all formed by chemical vapor deposition, and an overall average layer of 3 to 20 μm A Ti compound layer having a thickness;
(B) an α-type Al 2 O 3 layer whose upper layer has an average layer thickness of 1 to 15 μm;
In the coated cermet tool formed by vapor-depositing the hard coating layer composed of (a) and (b) above,
The α-type Al 2 O 3 layer is irradiated with an electron beam to each crystal grain having a hexagonal crystal lattice existing within the measurement range of the surface polished surface using a field emission scanning electron microscope, and an electron backscatter diffraction image Using an apparatus, the inclination angle formed by the normal of the (0001) plane, which is the crystal plane of the crystal grain, is measured with respect to the normal of the polished surface at an interval of 0.1 μm / step in a predetermined region , Of the measured tilt angles, the measured tilt angles within the range of 45 to 90 degrees are divided into pitches of 0.25 degrees, and the frequency existing in each section is tabulated as a tilt angle number distribution graph. In this case, the highest peak is present in the inclination angle section within the range of 83 to 89 degrees, and the total of the frequencies existing within the range of 83 to 90 degrees is 45 to 80% of the entire degrees in the inclination angle frequency distribution graph. Revision of the graph showing the distribution of the number of inclination angles becomes constituted by α type the Al 2 O 3 layer,
The hard coating layer is characterized by a coated cermet tool that exhibits excellent wear resistance in high-speed cutting.

以下に、この発明の被覆サーメット工具の硬質被覆層の構成層に関し、上記の通りに数値限定した理由を説明する。
(a)Ti化合物層(下部層)
Ti化合物層は、基本的には改質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が高温強度を具備するようにするほか、工具基体と改質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工具基体に対する密着性向上に寄与する作用を有するが、その平均層厚が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、その平均層厚を3〜20μmと定めた。
The reason why the numerical values of the constituent layers of the hard coating layer of the coated cermet tool of the present invention are limited as described above will be described below.
(A) Ti compound layer (lower layer)
The Ti compound layer basically exists as a lower layer of the modified α-type Al 2 O 3 layer, and allows the hard coating layer to have high-temperature strength by its excellent high-temperature strength. And the modified α-type Al 2 O 3 layer firmly adhere to each other, thereby contributing to the improvement of the adhesion of the hard coating layer to the tool substrate, but when the average layer thickness is less than 3 μm, On the other hand, if the average layer thickness exceeds 20 μm, high-speed cutting with high heat generation tends to cause thermoplastic deformation, which causes uneven wear. The layer thickness was determined to be 3-20 μm.

(b)改質α型Al23層(上部層)
上記の通り、改質α型Al23層の傾斜角度数分布グラフにおける測定傾斜角の最高ピーク位置は、化学蒸着装置における反応雰囲気圧力を変化させることによって変化するが、試験結果によれば、前記反応雰囲気圧力を、55〜80kpaとすると、最高ピークが、83〜89度の範囲内の傾斜角区分に現れると共に、83〜90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45〜80%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ものであり、したがって、前記反応雰囲気圧力が前記範囲から低い方に外れても、また高い方に外れても、測定傾斜角の最高ピーク位置は83〜89度の範囲から外れてしまい、このような場合には所望のすぐれた耐摩耗性を確保することができない場合が生じるものである。
また、改質α型Al23層全体の平均層厚が1μm未満では、これのもつすぐれた特性を十分に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、切刃部にチッピング(微少欠け)が発生し易くなることから、その全体平均層厚を1〜15μmと定めた。
(B) Modified α-type Al 2 O 3 layer (upper layer)
As described above, the highest peak position of the measured inclination angle in the inclination angle number distribution graph of the modified α-type Al 2 O 3 layer is changed by changing the reaction atmosphere pressure in the chemical vapor deposition apparatus. When the reaction atmosphere pressure is 55 to 80 kpa, the highest peak appears in the inclination angle section in the range of 83 to 89 degrees, and the total of the frequencies existing in the range of 83 to 90 degrees is the inclination angle number. An inclination angle frequency distribution graph occupying a ratio of 45 to 80% of the entire frequency in the distribution graph is shown. Therefore, even if the reaction atmosphere pressure is out of the range, it is out of the range. even the highest peak position of the measurement inclination angle deviates from the range of 83 to 89 degrees, if such is the case it is impossible to ensure a desired excellent wear resistance raw It is a thing to tie .
Moreover, if the average layer thickness of the modified α-type Al 2 O 3 layer is less than 1 μm, the excellent characteristics of the modified α-type Al 2 O 3 layer cannot be exhibited sufficiently, while the average layer thickness exceeds 15 μm and becomes too thick. Then, since chipping (slight chipping) is likely to occur in the cutting edge portion, the overall average layer thickness is set to 1 to 15 μm.

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、必要に応じて硬質被覆層の最表面層とし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, a TiN layer having a golden color tone may be vapor-deposited as the outermost surface layer of the hard coating layer as necessary, but the average layer thickness in this case is The discriminating effect may not be obtained if the thickness is less than 0.1 μm, while the discriminating effect by the TiN layer is sufficient with an average layer thickness of up to 1 μm.

この発明の被覆サーメット工具は、各種の鋼や鋳鉄などの切削加工を高速で行っても、硬質被覆層の上部層を構成する改質α型Al23層が、すぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮することから、使用寿命の一層の延命化を可能とするものである。 The coated cermet tool of the present invention has excellent wear resistance due to the modified α-type Al 2 O 3 layer constituting the upper layer of the hard coating layer even when various types of steel and cast iron are cut at high speed. Because of this, it is possible to further extend the service life.

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

Tool bases a to f made of TiCN base cermet having a chip shape of ISO standard / CNMG120408 were formed.

ついで、これらの工具基体A〜および工具基体a〜fのそれぞれを、通常の化学蒸着装置に装入し、

表4〜6に示される結果から、本発明被覆サーメット工具1〜12は、いずれも硬質被覆層の上部層である改質α型Al23層が、(0001)面の傾斜角度数分布グラフで、83〜89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、83〜90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45〜80%の割合を占める傾斜角度数分布グラフを示し、すぐれた耐摩耗性を具備するようになることから、鋼や鋳鉄の切削加工を、湿式高速条件で行っても、チッピングの発生なく、すぐれた耐摩耗性を示すのに対して、硬質被覆層の上部層が、(0001)面の測定傾斜角の分布が45〜90度の範囲内で不偏的で、最高ピークが存在せず、かつ83〜90度の範囲内に存在する度数の合計が、度数全体の30%以下である傾斜角度数分布グラフを示す従来α型Al23層で構成された従来被覆サーメット工具1〜12においては、いずれも前記従来α型Al23層の耐摩耗性不足が原因で、高速切削条件では硬質被覆層の摩耗が著しく促進し、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 4-6, the present invention coated cermet tools 1 to 12 are all modified α-type Al 2 O 3 layer which is the upper layer of the hard coating layer, (0001) inclination angle frequency distribution of the surface In the graph, the highest peak exists in the inclination angle section in the range of 83 to 89 degrees, and the total of the frequencies existing in the range of 83 to 90 degrees is 45 to 80% of the entire degrees in the inclination angle distribution graph. The graph shows the distribution of the number of inclination angles that account for the percentage of the steel and has excellent wear resistance. Therefore, even when cutting steel and cast iron under wet high-speed conditions, chipping does not occur and excellent resistance is achieved. Whereas the upper layer of the hard coating layer is wearable, the distribution of measured inclination angles on the (0001) plane is unbiased within the range of 45 to 90 degrees, the highest peak does not exist, and 83 to 83 The total number of frequencies within the 90 degree range is In the conventional coated cermet tools 1 to 12 composed of the conventional α-type Al 2 O 3 layer showing an inclination angle number distribution graph that is 30% or less of the total number, the resistance of the conventional α-type Al 2 O 3 layer is all It is clear that due to the lack of wear, the wear of the hard coating layer is significantly accelerated under high-speed cutting conditions and the service life is reached in a relatively short time.

上述のように、この発明の被覆サーメット工具は、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、特に湿式高速切削でもチッピングの発生なく、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 cermet tool of the present invention has excellent wear resistance with no occurrence of chipping even in continuous cutting and intermittent cutting under normal conditions such as various steels and cast iron, especially wet high-speed cutting. Since it exhibits excellent cutting performance over a long period of time, it can sufficiently satisfactorily cope with higher performance of the cutting device, labor saving and energy saving of cutting, and lower cost.
