ている。2. Description of the Related Art c-BN is widely used in cutting tools and wear resistant products because it has hardness second only to diamond and has a lower reactivity with iron-based materials than diamond. However, since the production of c-BN requires synthesis at ultra-high pressure and high temperature, the molded body made of c-BN has low mass productivity, it is difficult to obtain a complicated shape, and the manufacturing cost is very high. Therefore, its range of use is severely restricted.

による被覆が、工業的に可能になってきた。Therefore, it has been attempted to obtain a molded article at a low cost by forming a coating layer made of c-BN on the surface of the base material. For such coating with c-BN, it has been attempted to deposit c-BN on the surface of the substrate by a CVD method, a PVD method or the like, and coating by vapor phase synthesis of c-BN is industrially possible. It's coming.

れている。As a method for forming such a c-BN coating layer, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-4055 discloses a substrate,
For example, after depositing boron nitride composed of c-BN and hexagonal boron nitride on the surface of a Si substrate, h-BN is selectively etched by sputtering using an argon gas, and such deposition and etching are repeated. By doing so, a method for obtaining a coating layer made of c-BN is disclosed.

ｃ−ＢＮによる被覆の際に、種々の中間層を設けること
により、内部応力を緩和し、該ｃ−ＢＮ層の密着性を向
上させることが試みられている。Since the c-BN coating layer has a large internal stress by any manufacturing method, peeling from the substrate often occurs after the coating is formed. Therefore, it has been attempted to relax the internal stress and improve the adhesion of the c-BN layer by providing various intermediate layers during the coating with the c-BN.

は十分に改善されてはいない。A typical example of the intermediate layer is cubic ceramics (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-193832).
However, the bondability including wettability with boron nitride is poor, and the adhesiveness is not sufficiently improved.

は困難である。On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-260054 discloses that Ti, which has a high reactivity with B, is used as the intermediate layer. Although this intermediate layer improves the adhesion, it is difficult to obtain a high-purity c-BN coating layer.

No. 2, etc.). However, in the method of providing the intermediate layer with the composition changed in this way, although the adhesion of the coating layer is improved, a-BN and h-BN are mixed in the c-BN coating layer to form pure c-BN. It was difficult to form a wear-resistant coating layer according to.

The h-BN, which was used only for lubricity and static for maintaining electrical insulation, and was not used for cutting tools and wear-resistant products, gives crystal orientation to intermediate By using it as a layer, c-BN preferentially grows heteroepitaxially on it, and high purity c-BN is obtained.

A sample in which only a mixed layer of BN and c-BN was obtained, the comparative sample 3 had the outermost layer of h-BN, and the comparative sample 4 had no inner layer, and the intermediate layer had a-BN and h-BN. In the same manner, the outermost layer was the same as the comparative sample 2 and the comparative sample 5 did not have an inner layer, and the intermediate layer was a 1 μm thick TiN layer. The outer layer is a mixed layer similar to the comparative sample 2.
