Description

本発明は、切削工具、表面被覆切削工具のすくい面のクレータ摩耗の発生の低減を図るとともに、クレータ摩耗の発達による刃先強度の低下を防止し、もって、耐チッピング性の向上を図った立方晶窒化ホウ素(以下、cBNで示す)基超高圧焼結材料製切削工具(以下、cBN工具という)及びcBN工具に硬質膜を蒸着形成した表面被覆立方晶窒化ほう素基超高圧焼結材料製切削工具(以下、被覆cBN工具という)に関する。   The present invention aims to reduce the occurrence of crater wear on the rake face of cutting tools and surface-coated cutting tools, and prevent the cutting edge strength from being lowered due to the development of crater wear, thereby improving the chipping resistance. Cutting made of boron nitride (hereinafter referred to as cBN) based ultra high pressure sintered material (hereinafter referred to as cBN tool) and surface coated cubic boron nitride based ultra high pressure sintered material obtained by vapor deposition of hard film on cBN tool The present invention relates to a tool (hereinafter referred to as a coated cBN tool).

従来、鋼、鋳鉄等の鉄系被削材の切削加工には、被削材との親和性の低い工具材料としてcBN基超高圧焼結材料(以下、cBN焼結材という)を用いたcBN工具が知られており、また、cBN工具の耐摩耗性の向上、工具寿命の改善等の観点から、cBN工具表面に硬質膜を蒸着形成した被覆cBN工具も良く知られている。
例えば、特許文献1に示すように、高硬度鋼の切削加工において、耐摩耗性の向上を図るため、cBN工具の表面に、TiAlN等のTiベースの硬質膜を物理蒸着で蒸着形成した被覆cBN工具が知られているが、この被覆cBN工具によれば、逃げ面摩耗の抑制に効果はみられるものの、すくい面に発生するクレータ摩耗の抑制効果は十分とはいえなかった。
また、クレータ摩耗の抑制を図るための切削工具としては、例えば、特許文献2に示すように、超硬合金からなる工具基体の表面に酸化アルミニウム(以下、Alで示す)を化学蒸着で形成した被覆超硬工具が知られている。
Conventionally, cBN based ultra-high pressure sintered material (hereinafter referred to as cBN sintered material) has been used as a tool material having low affinity with the work material for cutting of steel-based work materials such as steel and cast iron. A tool is known, and a coated cBN tool in which a hard film is vapor-deposited on the surface of a cBN tool is also well known from the viewpoint of improving the wear resistance of the cBN tool and improving the tool life.
For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a coated cBN in which a Ti-based hard film such as TiAlN is vapor-deposited on the surface of a cBN tool in order to improve wear resistance in cutting of high-hardness steel. Although a tool is known, according to this coated cBN tool, although the effect of suppressing the flank wear is seen, the effect of suppressing the crater wear generated on the rake face is not sufficient.
Further, as a cutting tool for suppressing crater wear, for example, as shown in Patent Document 2, aluminum oxide (hereinafter referred to as Al 2 O 3 ) is chemically vapor-deposited on the surface of a tool base made of cemented carbide. A coated carbide tool formed of

従来のcBN工具においては耐クレータ摩耗性が十分でなく、また、これを改善するために、cBN工具に対してAl膜からなる硬質膜を化学蒸着で形成しようとした場合、cBN工具はその刃先を超硬合金母材等にろう付けしているが、化学蒸着時にろう付け部の温度が高温にさらされ、そのため、被覆cBN工具の刃先がろう付け部から脱落しやすいという問題点があった。
そこで、本発明は、耐クレータ摩耗性にすぐれ、刃先強度の低下がなく耐チッピング性にすぐれたcBN工具を提供するとともに、cBN工具に対して硬質膜を蒸着形成した場合にも、ろう付け部からの刃先の脱落の恐れがなく、しかも、耐クレータ摩耗性、耐チッピング性にすぐれた被覆cBN工具を提供することを目的とする。
In the conventional cBN tool, the crater wear resistance is not sufficient, and in order to improve this, when a hard film made of Al 2 O 3 film is formed on the cBN tool by chemical vapor deposition, the cBN tool Is brazed to a cemented carbide base metal, etc., but the temperature of the brazing part is exposed to a high temperature during chemical vapor deposition, so that the cutting edge of the coated cBN tool tends to fall off from the brazing part. was there.
Therefore, the present invention provides a cBN tool that has excellent crater wear resistance, no reduction in cutting edge strength, and excellent chipping resistance, and even when a hard film is formed on the cBN tool by brazing, It is an object of the present invention to provide a coated cBN tool which has no fear of falling off the blade edge and has excellent crater wear resistance and chipping resistance.

本発明者等は、上記課題を解決するため、cBN工具あるいは被覆cBN工具のcBN焼結材構成成分であるcBN粒子に着目し、鋭意研究したところ、次のような知見を得た。   In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventors of the present invention focused on cBN particles, which are constituents of the cBN sintered material of the cBN tool or the coated cBN tool, and conducted earnest research, and obtained the following knowledge.

従来のcBN工具あるいは被覆cBN工具の作製に際して、cBN焼結材構成成分であるcBN粉末を、バインダー(結合相)形成成分であるTiN粉末、TiAl粉末、Al粉末等と混合し、これを超高圧高温条件下で焼結することによりcBN焼結材を作製し、これを超硬合金母材にろう付け接合し刃先を形成していたため、工具の耐クレータ摩耗性向上のために、化学蒸着等によるAl硬質膜の蒸着形成を行った場合には、蒸着時の高温にさらされることによる刃先の脱落が生じていた。 When producing a conventional cBN tool or a coated cBN tool, cBN powder as a constituent component of a cBN sintered material is mixed with TiN powder, TiAl 3 powder, Al 2 O 3 powder as a binder (binding phase) forming component, Since this was sintered under ultra high pressure and high temperature conditions, a cBN sintered material was produced, and this was brazed to a cemented carbide base material to form a cutting edge. When the Al 2 O 3 hard film was vapor-deposited by chemical vapor deposition or the like, the cutting edge was dropped due to exposure to a high temperature during vapor deposition.

そこで、本発明者らは、cBN焼結材の作製に際し、cBN焼結材の構成成分であるcBN粒子表面に、例えば、ALD(Atomic Layer Deposition。真空チャンバ内の基材に、原料化合物の分子を一層ごと反応させ、Arや窒素によるパージを繰り返し行うことで成膜する方法で、CVD法の一種である。)法等により、微小膜厚のAl膜を予め形成しておき、この予めAl膜でコーティングされたcBN粒子を原料粉末として用いてcBN焼結材を作製したところ、cBN粒子の表面がAl膜でコーティングされた焼結材が得られるため、このcBN焼結材を工具基体とした場合には、すくい面表面に直接cBNが露出することがなく、すぐれた耐クレータ摩耗性が得られ、また、このcBN焼結材を超硬合金母材にろう付けした後、Al硬質膜を蒸着で形成する必要もない。
つまり、cBN焼結材の構成成分であるcBN粒子として、予め微小膜厚のAl膜をコーティングしたcBN粒子を用いることにより、蒸着時の高温による刃先の脱落が生じる恐れのあるAl硬質膜の蒸着形成を行わなくとも、耐クレータ摩耗性にすぐれたcBN工具が得られることを見出したのである。
Therefore, the present inventors, when producing the cBN sintered material, on the surface of the cBN particles, which is a constituent component of the cBN sintered material, for example, ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition). Is formed by repeatedly purging with Ar and nitrogen, and is a kind of CVD method.) A thin Al 2 O 3 film is formed in advance by the method or the like, When a cBN sintered material was prepared using cBN particles previously coated with an Al 2 O 3 film as a raw material powder, a sintered material in which the surface of the cBN particles was coated with an Al 2 O 3 film was obtained. When this cBN sintered material is used as a tool base, cBN is not directly exposed on the surface of the rake face, and excellent crater wear resistance is obtained. After the N sintered material brazed to the cemented carbide base material, there is no need to form in the deposited Al 2 O 3 hard film.
In other words, the cBN particles, a component of the cBN sintered material, by the use of the coated cBN particles an Al 2 O 3 film in advance small thickness, a possibility of falling off of the cutting edge due to the high temperature during the deposition occurs Al 2 It has been found that a cBN tool having excellent crater wear resistance can be obtained without performing vapor deposition of an O 3 hard film.

It is characterized by.

本発明について、以下に説明する。   The present invention will be described below.

本発明のcBN工具、被覆cBN工具では、cBN焼結材料で工具基体が構成されるが、該cBN焼結材のcBN原料粉末としては、微小膜厚のAl膜が予めでコーティングされたcBN粒子を使用する。
例えば、ALD法により、cBN粒子表面に微小膜厚のAl膜をコーティングする場合、流動層炉内にcBN粒子を装入し、0.8Torrの減圧下にて、200℃程度に昇温し、Al(CHガス流入工程、Arガスパージ工程、HOガス流入工程、Arガスパージ工程を1サイクルとして、このサイクルを目標層厚になるまで繰り返す(例えば、1時間かけて10nmのAl膜を成膜する)ことにより、Al の被覆厚さと立方晶窒化ほう素粒子の粒径の比の値が0.00333〜0.13667であるAl膜をcBN粒子表面に形成することができる。
ここで、上記cBN粒子表面にコーティングされたAl膜に切れ間があると、すくい面表面にcBNが直接露出する可能性が高くなるため、Al膜は均一に切れ間なくcBN粒子表面をコーティングする程度の平均被覆厚さを有する必要があるが、Al膜の平均被覆厚さがcBN粒子の平均直径の1/2を超えるようになると、刃先エッジに存在するAlがcBN粒子より先に摩滅するためcBN粒子の脱落が顕著になり、刃先のシャープさを維持できなくなることから、Al膜の平均被覆厚さは、cBN粒子の平均直径の1/2以下と定める。本発明では、実施例に基づき、Al の被覆厚さと立方晶窒化ほう素粒子の粒径の比の値が0.00333〜0.13667となるようにAl 膜の平均被覆厚さを定めた。
cBN粒子表面のAl膜の被覆の均一性については、TEM(透過型電子顕微鏡)観察を行うことによって確認することができる。
In the cBN tool and the coated cBN tool of the present invention, the tool base is composed of a cBN sintered material. As the cBN raw material powder of the cBN sintered material, an Al 2 O 3 film having a small thickness is coated in advance. CBN particles are used.
For example, when coating the surface of cBN particles with an Al 2 O 3 film having a very small thickness by the ALD method, the cBN particles are charged into a fluidized bed furnace and the temperature is raised to about 200 ° C. under a reduced pressure of 0.8 Torr. Warm, Al (CH 3 ) 3 gas inflow process, Ar gas purge process, H 2 O gas inflow process, and Ar gas purge process are taken as one cycle, and this cycle is repeated until the target layer thickness is reached (for example, 10 nm over 1 hour) by forming the of the Al 2 O 3 film) that, the Al 2 O 3 film values of the ratio of the particle size of the coating thickness and the cubic boron nitride particles of Al 2 O 3 is from 0.00333 to 0.13667 Can be formed on the surface of the cBN particles.
Here, if there is a break in the Al 2 O 3 film coated on the surface of the cBN particle, there is a high possibility that cBN is directly exposed on the surface of the rake face. Therefore, the Al 2 O 3 film is uniformly cleaved without cBN particles. Although it is necessary to have an average coating thickness enough to coat the surface, when the average coating thickness of the Al 2 O 3 film exceeds 1/2 of the average diameter of the cBN particles, Al 2 present at the edge of the blade Since O 3 is abraded before the cBN particles, the cBN particles fall off significantly, and the sharpness of the blade edge cannot be maintained. Therefore, the average coating thickness of the Al 2 O 3 film is 1 of the average diameter of the cBN particles. / 2 or less. In the present invention, based on the example, the average coating of the Al 2 O 3 film so that the ratio of the coating thickness of the Al 2 O 3 and the particle size of the cubic boron nitride particles is 0.00333 to 0.13667. The thickness was determined.
The uniformity of the Al 2 O 3 film coating on the cBN particle surface can be confirmed by TEM (transmission electron microscope) observation.

上記で作製した微小膜厚のAl膜でコーティングされたcBN粒子を硬質相の原料粉末として用い、cBN焼結材中の他の構成成分、例えば、結合相(バインダー)成分等としては、周期律表VIa、Va、VIa族元素の窒化物、炭化物、硼化物、酸化物ならびにこれらの固溶体からなる群の中から選択された少なくとも1種の粉末とを所定配合組成になるように配合し、これを通常の超高圧高温条件下で焼結することにより、cBN焼結材を作製し、これを、超硬合金からなる母材にろう付け接合することにより、本発明cBN工具を作製する。
本発明cBN工具は、少なくともそのすくい面に、Al膜の露出はあっても、cBN粒子が露出することはないので、耐クレータ摩耗性にすぐれ、さらに、刃先強度の低下が少ないことから耐チッピング性にすぐれるという性能を備える。
Using the cBN particles coated with the Al 2 O 3 film having a small film thickness prepared above as the raw material powder of the hard phase, as other constituent components in the cBN sintered material, such as a binder phase (binder) component, etc. And periodic table VIa, Va, at least one powder selected from the group consisting of nitrides, carbides, borides, oxides, and solid solutions of group VIa elements so as to have a predetermined composition Then, a sintered cBN material is produced by sintering this under normal ultrahigh pressure and high temperature conditions, and this is then brazed to a base material made of a cemented carbide to produce the cBN tool of the present invention. To do.
The cBN tool of the present invention is excellent in crater wear resistance and has little decrease in blade edge strength because cBN particles are not exposed even if the Al 2 O 3 film is exposed at least on the rake face. It has the performance of excellent chipping resistance.

図1に、cBN焼結材中に存在するcBN粒子、cBN粒子表面を被覆するAl膜及び結合相(バインダー)の概略模式図を示す。 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of cBN particles present in a cBN sintered material, an Al 2 O 3 film covering the surface of the cBN particles, and a binder phase (binder).

さらに、上記で作製した本発明cBN工具の表面に、例えば、Tiの窒化物層、Tiの炭窒化物層、TiとAlの複合窒化物層等の硬質膜を物理蒸着等で被覆形成することにより被覆cBN工具を作製すると、蒸着時の高温によってろう付け部からの刃先の脱落が生じる恐れはなく、耐クレータ摩耗性、耐チッピング性に加え、より一段とすぐれた耐摩耗性を有し、長寿命の被覆cBN工具を得ることができる。
なお、硬質膜の種類は上記のものに限定されるわけではなく、他のいかなる硬質膜でも構わない。
Further, a hard film such as a Ti nitride layer, a Ti carbonitride layer, or a Ti and Al composite nitride layer is coated on the surface of the cBN tool of the present invention produced as described above by physical vapor deposition or the like. When a coated cBN tool is manufactured by the above, there is no risk of the blade tip falling off from the brazed part due to the high temperature during vapor deposition. In addition to crater wear resistance and chipping resistance, the tool has a much higher wear resistance. A long-life coated cBN tool can be obtained.
The kind of hard film is not limited to the above, and any other hard film may be used.

上記のとおり、本発明のcBN工具においては、cBN焼結材の構成成分であるcBN粒子の表面が、A膜によって均一に切れ間なく被覆され、かつ、該酸化アルミニウムの被覆厚さと立方晶窒化ほう素粒子の粒径の比の値は0.00333〜0.13667であることによって、すぐれた耐クレータ摩耗性、耐チッピング性を発揮し、さらに、本発明cBN工具に物理蒸着等によってTiAlN等の硬質膜を蒸着形成した本発明の被覆cBN工具は、蒸着時の高温による刃先の脱落もなく、より一段とすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮し、工具寿命の延命化を図ることができる。 As described above, in the cBN tool of the present invention, the surface of the cBN particles is a component of the cBN sintered material, coated uniformly rift without the A l 2 O 3 film, and the coating thickness of the aluminum oxide the ratio of the value 0.00333 to 0.13667 der Rukoto of the particle size of the cubic boron nitride particles, exhibit excellent crater wear resistance, chipping resistance, further, a physical vapor deposition to the present invention cBN tools The coated cBN tool of the present invention in which a hard film such as TiAlN is vapor-deposited by means of, for example, exhibits superior wear resistance without the removal of the blade edge due to high temperatures during vapor deposition, and can extend the tool life. it can.
