Description
本発明は、立方晶窒化硼素（cＢＮ）を主成分とした焼結体を基材とする刃先横境界部の損傷を抑制する被覆cＢＮ焼結体工具に関する。 The present invention relates to a coated cBN sintered body tool that suppresses damage to the cutting edge lateral boundary portion, which is made of a sintered body mainly composed of cubic boron nitride (cBN).
cＢＮ焼結体工具による難削材の加工では刃先の横境界部が損傷し、工具寿命に至る場合がある。例えばインコネル７１８やワスパロイ等の耐熱合金の切削加工では、cＢＮ含有率が高く、Ｗ，Ｃoの硼化物を結合相の主体としたcＢＮ焼結体工具が用いられるが、このとき、刃先の横境界部が溝状の摩耗が発達する等、選択的に損傷し、工具寿命に至る。また、鋳鉄の黒皮粗加工では鋳鉄の表面がチル化されているため、刃先の横境界部に摩耗が発達し、工具寿命に至る。 When machining difficult-to-cut materials with a cBN sintered body tool, the lateral boundary portion of the cutting edge may be damaged, leading to a tool life. For example, in cutting of heat-resistant alloys such as Inconel 718 and Waspaloy, a cBN sintered body tool having a high cBN content and mainly containing W and Co borides as a binder phase is used. The part is selectively damaged, such as the development of groove-shaped wear, leading to the tool life. Moreover, since the surface of the cast iron is chilled in the black-cut roughing of cast iron, wear develops at the lateral boundary portion of the cutting edge, leading to the tool life.
また、特許文献１にはcＢＮ含有率が２０体積％以上のcＢＮ焼結体にＴiとＡlを主成分とする硬質被膜を０．５μｍから１５μｍの厚さで被覆し、焼入鋼切削加工での耐摩耗性を改善した工具が開示されているが、このような被覆cＢＮ焼結体工具でも、上記の耐熱合金や鋳鉄の黒皮粗加工ではその横境界部の損傷が激しく、短寿命であった。 Patent Document 1 discloses that a cBN sintered body having a cBN content of 20% by volume or more is coated with a hard film mainly composed of Ti and Al in a thickness of 0.5 μm to 15 μm, and the hardened steel is cut by cutting. A tool with improved wear resistance is disclosed, but even in such a coated cBN sintered body tool, the above-mentioned heat-resistant alloy or cast iron has a severe damage on the lateral boundary portion in the rough skin machining, and has a short life. there were.
本発明は、鋳鉄の黒皮粗加工や、耐熱合金等の難削材料の切削加工時において、横切れ刃境界部を含む横切れ刃部分の損傷を低減し、長寿命の被覆cＢＮ焼結体工具を低コストで提供することを課題とする。 The present invention provides a long-life coated cBN sintered body tool that reduces damage to the side cutting edge portion including the boundary portion of the side cutting edge during rough machining of cast iron and cutting of difficult-to-cut materials such as heat-resistant alloys. The problem is to provide at low cost.
本発明者等は上記課題を解決すべく鋭意検討を重ねた結果、横切れ刃境界部を含む横切れ刃部分をcＢＮ単結晶体により構成することが有効であることを見出し、本発明を完成させた。

(4) The coated cBN sintered body tool according to any one of the above (1) to (3), wherein the cutting direction in the feed direction is the largest among the cutting edges that come into contact with the work material.

(5) The coated cBN sintered body tool according to any one of the above (1) to (3), wherein the cutting direction in the feed direction is the largest among the cutting edges that come into contact with the work material. The cutting edge is formed of a cBN single crystal from x% (60 ≦ x ≦ 99) to y% (101 ≦ y) of the cut amount, and the particle size of the cBN single crystal is 100 μm or more. And
耐熱合金の切削では切りくず厚みが厚い横境界部で切りくずが加工硬化により高硬度となり、この切りくずが接触する横境界部で損傷が発達する。鋳鉄の黒皮粗加工では、鋳鉄の表面が鋳造時に急冷されチル化して高硬度となっており、チル化された組織と切削する横境界部で損傷が発達する。これら横境界部が損傷する原因は、結合相粒子自体もしくはcＢＮ粒子と結合相の粒界、もしくは、cＢＮ粒子同士の粒界が、切削中に横境界にかかる負荷により損傷し、cＢＮ粒子の脱落が進展するためである。したがって、本発明のcＢＮ焼結体工具は負荷がかかる横切れ刃境界部が強度に優れた単一のcＢＮ粒子から構成されているため、上記の横切れ刃の損傷が抑制され、工具寿命の大幅な改善を可能とする。 In the cutting of a heat-resistant alloy, the chips become hard due to work hardening at the lateral boundary portion where the chip thickness is thick, and damage develops at the lateral boundary portion where the chip contacts. In the rough black machining of cast iron, the surface of the cast iron is rapidly cooled at the time of casting and chilled to have high hardness, and damage develops at the chilled structure and the lateral boundary portion to be cut. The cause of damage to these lateral boundaries is that the bonded phase particles themselves or the grain boundaries between the cBN particles and the bonded phase, or the grain boundaries between the cBN particles are damaged by the load applied to the lateral boundaries during cutting, and the cBN particles fall off. This is because of progress. Therefore, since the cBN sintered body tool of the present invention is composed of a single cBN particle having excellent strength at the side cutting edge boundary to which a load is applied, the damage of the side cutting edge is suppressed, and the tool life is greatly increased. Enable improvement.
図１に示すように、本発明に係る切削加工用被覆cＢＮ焼結体工具は、被削材と接触する切れ刃部分において、送り方向の切れ刃が、切込みが最大となる点から、切り込み量のｘ％（６０≦ｘ≦９９）からｙ％（１０１≦ｙ）までがcＢＮ単結晶体で形成され、被削材と接触する他の切れ刃部分がcＢＮ多結晶体で形成され、少なくとも前記cＢＮ単結晶体および前記cＢＮ多結晶体の表面が硬質皮膜によって被覆されていることを特徴とする。換言すれば、切削加工時に横切れ刃境界部となる切れ刃部分がcＢＮ単結晶体であり、その他の切れ刃部分がcＢＮ多結晶体で形成されていることを特徴とする。
cＢＮ単結晶体はダイヤモンドに次ぐ非常に優れた高度と強度を有する。このため、横境界部で発生する切りくずが加工効果により硬度が高くなり刃先を攻撃する耐熱合金の加工や、横境界部分で表面層がチル化され高硬度となっている鋳鉄の黒皮粗加工においても、横切れ刃境界部の損傷を抑制することが可能となる。
As shown in FIG. 1, the coated cBN sintered body tool for cutting according to the present invention has a cutting amount from the point that the cutting edge in the feed direction has the maximum cutting depth at the cutting edge portion in contact with the work material. X% (60 ≦ x ≦ 99) to y% (101 ≦ y) of cBN is formed of a cBN single crystal, and the other cutting edge portion in contact with the work material is formed of a cBN polycrystal. The surface of the cBN single crystal and the cBN polycrystal is covered with a hard film. In other words, the cutting edge portion that becomes the side cutting edge boundary portion during cutting is a cBN single crystal, and the other cutting edge portions are formed of a cBN polycrystal.
The cBN single crystal has very high altitude and strength after diamond. For this reason, the chip generated at the lateral boundary becomes hard due to the processing effect, and the heat-resistant alloy that attacks the cutting edge is processed. Also in the processing, it is possible to suppress the damage at the boundary portion of the horizontal cutting edge.
上記の通り、本発明に係る被覆cＢＮ焼結体工具は、横切れ刃境界部を含む横切れ刃部分が単一のcＢＮ粒子から構成されていることを特徴とする。かかるcＢＮ焼結体チップは、粗粒のcＢＮ粒子と微粒のcＢＮ粒子とを原材料として用いるcＢＮ焼結体から切り出して作製される。すなわち、前記、横切れ刃部分が単一のcＢＮ粒子から構成されるように、該焼結体中の粗粒のcＢＮ粒子部分を選択して横切れ刃となるように切り出せば良い。 As described above, the coated cBN sintered body tool according to the present invention is characterized in that the side cutting edge portion including the side cutting edge boundary portion is composed of a single cBN particle. Such a cBN sintered body chip is produced by cutting out from a cBN sintered body using coarse cBN particles and fine cBN particles as raw materials. That is, the coarse cBN particle portion in the sintered body may be selected and cut to form a horizontal cutting edge so that the horizontal cutting edge portion is composed of a single cBN particle.
このとき、被削材と接触する切れ刃のうち、送り方向の切れ刃が、切り込みが最大となる点から、切り込み量のｘ％（６０≦ｘ≦９９）からｙ％（１０１≦ｙ）までがcＢＮ単結晶体となるように、横切れ刃部分を構成するように選択される焼結体中のcＢＮ粒子の粒径は、５０μｍ以上であることが好ましい。これにより、切削時に横切れ刃となる切れ刃の大部分を強度に優れたcＢＮ単結晶体により構成することができる。この観点から、横切れ刃を構成するcＢＮ粒子の粒径が１００μｍ以上であることがより好ましい。また、ｙの値が２００以下のときに、コストが特に低くなる。 At this time, among cutting edges that come into contact with the work material, the cutting edge in the feed direction is from the point at which the cutting becomes maximum, from x% (60 ≦ x ≦ 99) to y% (101 ≦ y) of the cutting amount. It is preferable that the particle size of the cBN particles in the sintered body selected so as to constitute the side cutting edge portion is 50 μm or more so that the cBN single crystal is formed. Thereby, most of the cutting edge which becomes a horizontal cutting edge at the time of cutting can be comprised by the cBN single crystal body excellent in intensity | strength. From this viewpoint, it is more preferable that the particle size of the cBN particles constituting the side cutting edge is 100 μm or more. Further, when the value of y is 200 or less, the cost is particularly low.
cＢＮ単結晶体は鉄族金属に対して熱的な摩耗が進行しやすいため、強度が必要な横切れ刃以外の切れ刃部分は熱的な摩耗に対して優れるcＢＮ多結晶体とすることが好ましい。 Since the cBN single crystal body is likely to be thermally worn against the iron group metal, it is preferable that the cutting edge portion other than the side cutting edge that requires strength is a cBN polycrystalline body that is excellent against thermal wear. .
上記cＢＮ焼結体は、cＢＮ含有率が２０−９９体積％であることを特徴とする。cＢＮの含有率がこれらの範囲にあることにより、焼結体の強度と耐摩耗性を両立することが可能となる。
更に、焼結体の結合相が、周期律表４ａ、５ａ、６ａ族元素の窒化物、炭化物、硼化物、酸化物、及びこれらの固容体からなる群から選択される少なくとも一種と、Ａlの窒化物、硼化物、酸化物、及びこれらの固容体からなる群から選択される少なくとも一種とを含む、 もしくは、Ｗ、Ｃo、Ｚr、Ｎi、Ｃr、Ａlのうち少なくとも１種以上の窒化物、炭化物、炭窒化物、硼化物、酸化物からなる、 もしくはＡlの窒化物、硼化物、酸化物のうち少なくとも１種以上からなる、ことを特徴とする。
これらの結合材成分により、cＢＮ焼結体の耐摩耗性及び強度を向上させることができる。当然、これらの成分以外にも不可避的に不純物が含まれていても構わない。
The cBN sintered body has a cBN content of 20 to 99% by volume. When the content of cBN is within these ranges, it is possible to achieve both the strength and wear resistance of the sintered body.
Furthermore, the bonded phase of the sintered body is at least one selected from the group consisting of nitrides, carbides, borides, oxides, and solids of the periodic table 4a, 5a, and 6a group elements, and Al. Or at least one selected from the group consisting of nitrides, borides, oxides, and solid solutions thereof, or at least one nitride of W, Co, Zr, Ni, Cr, and Al, It is characterized by being composed of carbide, carbonitride, boride, oxide, or at least one of Al nitride, boride, oxide.
With these binder components, the wear resistance and strength of the cBN sintered body can be improved. Of course, impurities other than these components may inevitably be contained.
刃先の耐摩耗性を更に向上させるために、上記工具の表面が硬質皮膜により被覆されていることが好ましい。これにより横境界部のcＢＮ単結晶体からなる刃先部分の耐摩耗性が改善されるとともに、横切れ刃以外の刃先部分の耐摩耗性も改善される。
これは、鉄系材料を切削する場合、cＢＮ粒子はcＢＮのhＢＮへの逆変換や化学反応といった熱的な摩耗要因により耐摩耗性が良くないが、これら熱的な摩耗をより安定な被膜により抑制することができるからである。
In order to further improve the wear resistance of the cutting edge, the surface of the tool is preferably covered with a hard film. Thereby, the wear resistance of the cutting edge portion made of the cBN single crystal at the lateral boundary portion is improved, and the wear resistance of the cutting edge portion other than the horizontal cutting edge is also improved.
This is because, when cutting iron-based materials, cBN particles have poor wear resistance due to thermal wear factors such as reverse conversion of cBN to hBN and chemical reactions, but these thermal wear is caused by a more stable coating. This is because it can be suppressed.
被膜の成分は、十分な硬度を有して高い耐摩耗性が得られるように、周期律表４ａ、５ａ、６ａ族元素、及びＡl、Ｓi、Ｂの中から選択される一種以上の元素とＣ、Ｎ及びＯの中から選択される一種以上の元素とからなる化合物を選択した。 The component of the coating is a periodic table 4a, 5a, 6a group element and one or more elements selected from Al, Si, B so as to obtain sufficient wear resistance and high wear resistance. A compound consisting of one or more elements selected from C, N and O was selected.
硬質被膜の好適な成分の具体例としては、ＴiＡlＮ、ＴiＣＮ、ＴiＮ、Ａl2Ｏ3、ＺrＮ、ＺrＣ、ＣrＮ、ＶＮ、ＨfＮ、ＨfＣまたはＨfＣＮが挙げられる。耐摩耗性を改善する効果はこれらのいずれの成分を含む硬質皮膜においても見られるが、特にＴiＡlＮ、ＴiＣＮ、ＴiＮを含む被膜で顕著である。
硬質被膜の構成は、単層でも多層でもいずれでも良い。多層構造とした場合、いずれかの層に上記成分の被膜が含まれていれば良い。
Specific examples of suitable components of the hard coating include TiAlN, TiCN, TiN, Al 2 O 3 , ZrN, ZrC, CrN, VN, HfN, HfC or HfCN. The effect of improving the wear resistance can be seen in a hard film containing any of these components, but is particularly remarkable in a film containing TiAlN, TiCN, or TiN.
The configuration of the hard coating may be either a single layer or a multilayer. In the case of a multi-layer structure, any layer may contain a coating of the above components.
硬質被膜の厚さは０．０１μｍ以上１０μｍ以下であることが好ましい。この下限値未満では耐摩耗性を改善する効果が小さくなる。逆に、１０μｍを超えると硬質皮膜中の残留応力の影響で基材との密着性が低下する。なお、この膜厚は、多層構造の場合、全被膜の厚さについての限定である。 The thickness of the hard coating is preferably 0.01 μm or more and 10 μm or less. Below this lower limit, the effect of improving the wear resistance becomes small. On the other hand, if it exceeds 10 μm, the adhesiveness with the base material is lowered due to the influence of the residual stress in the hard coating. This film thickness is a limitation on the thickness of the entire coating in the case of a multilayer structure.
硬質被膜の形成個所は基材表面の少なくとも一部で良い。切削工具として少なくとも切削に関与する面に被膜を形成する。切削に関与する面とは、すくい面、逃げ面、チャンファー面の少なくとも一つである。より具体的には、すくい面から逃げ面にかけての個所またはすくい面からチャンファー面を経て逃げ面にかけての個所である。特に工具が被削材と接する個所及びその近傍に被膜を形成すると有効である。 The location where the hard coating is formed may be at least part of the substrate surface. As a cutting tool, a film is formed on at least a surface related to cutting. The surface involved in cutting is at least one of a rake surface, a flank surface, and a chamfer surface. More specifically, it is a part from the rake face to the flank face or a part from the rake face to the flank face through the chamfer face. In particular, it is effective to form a coating at a location where the tool contacts the work material and in the vicinity thereof.
硬質被膜の形成手段は公知の成膜技術が利用できる。例えば、スパッタリング、イオンプレーティングなどのＰＶＤ法や、プラズマＣＶＤ法などのＣＶＤ法が利用できる。特にアークイオンプレーティング法は耐摩耗性の良好な硬質被膜を形成できる点で好ましい。耐摩耗性の良好な硬質被膜が形成できるアークイオンプレーティング法については、特開平１０−６８０７１号公報に記載されている。 A known film forming technique can be used as the means for forming the hard film. For example, a PVD method such as sputtering or ion plating, or a CVD method such as a plasma CVD method can be used. In particular, the arc ion plating method is preferable in that it can form a hard coating with good wear resistance. An arc ion plating method capable of forming a hard coating with good wear resistance is described in JP-A-10-68071.
