The present invention relates to an ultra-high pressure sintered material that has excellent toughness and heat and wear resistance, and is particularly suitable for use as a material for cutting tools. Generally used for cutting tools used to cut ferrous metal materials such as cast iron, non-ferrous metal materials such as aluminum, aluminum alloys, copper, and copper alloys, and non-metallic materials such as plastics, rubber, graphite, and ceramics. are required to have properties such as high hardness, excellent wear resistance, toughness, and thermal and chemical stability. In recent years, in order to satisfy such demands, ultra-high pressure sintered materials whose main component is diamond have been proposed, and the ultra-high pressure sintered materials have high hardness not only at room temperature but also at relatively high temperatures, and have excellent properties. Because it exhibits wear resistance, it is used as a material for finishing cutting tools under harsh conditions such as impact. It is true that the above-mentioned cutting tool made of ultra-high pressure sintered material enables high-speed cutting when cutting the above-mentioned ferrous metal materials and non-ferrous metal materials, making it difficult for built-up edges to stick and providing an excellent finished surface. This provides the advantage of being able to In this way, the conventional ultra-high pressure sintered materials mentioned above are mainly composed of diamond which has extremely high hardness, so they can be used as cutting tools for cutting the above-mentioned ferrous metal materials, non-ferrous metal materials, and non-metal materials. Although it shows excellent wear resistance when used,
Because it does not have sufficient toughness, chipping wear is likely to occur during cutting due to this lack of toughness.
As a result, the excellent wear resistance that it originally has cannot be fully demonstrated, and it does not have sufficient high-temperature oxidation resistance (heat resistance), so it cannot be used for cutting that involves a rise in temperature. The current situation is that this is not possible. From the above-mentioned viewpoint, the present inventors have determined that toughness,
In order to obtain a material for cutting tools that has both high-temperature oxidation resistance (heat resistance) and wear resistance, we conducted research focusing on diamond. powder) and one or more of the carbides, nitrides, carbides and borides of metals in groups 4a, 5a and 6a of the periodic table (hereinafter these are collectively referred to as metal carbons and nitrides).・One or two of aluminum oxide (hereinafter referred to as Al 2 O 3 ), yttrium oxide (hereinafter referred to as Y 2 O 3 ), and magnesium oxide (hereinafter referred to as MgO). When ultra-high pressure sintering is performed using a mixture of powders consisting of oxides or more (hereinafter collectively referred to as oxides) as a raw material powder, diamond particles, the above BN powder particles, and the above There is no mutual contact between the metal carbon/nitrogen/boride particles and the oxide particles, and the diamond particles, the BN particles, the metal carbon/nitride/boride particles, and the oxide particles do not interact with each other. A sintered material with a dense structure is obtained in which the components constituting each particle are adjacent to each other and at the grain boundaries, diffusion occurs and strong interparticle bonds are formed, and the resulting sintered material combines the excellent wear resistance provided by diamond particles with the superior wear resistance provided by BN particles and metallic carbon.
They found that it combines the excellent toughness and high-temperature oxidation resistance (heat resistance) provided by nitride/boride particles and oxide particles. Therefore, the ultra-high-pressure sintered material of the present invention was created based on the above knowledge, and in terms of volume %, diamond: 20 to 80%, BN: 5 to 50%, and metal carbon, nitride, and boride. : 1 to 30%, oxides and inevitable impurities: 1 to 30%. Next, in the ultra-high pressure sintered material of this invention,
The reason why the component composition range is limited as described above will be explained. (a) Diamond As is well known, diamond itself has a Mohs hardness of 10 and a Knoop hardness of 8000 kg/mm 2 or more.
It is a substance with the highest hardness among existing substances, but if its content is less than 20% by volume, the desired wear resistance cannot be achieved, whereas if it is contained in excess of 80% by volume, Carbon, nitride, and boride particles of metals have a greater degree of contact between diamond particles, have excellent heat resistance, and are rich in toughness.
The strong interparticle bond between BN particles, oxide particles, and diamond particles becomes insufficient, resulting in a decrease in toughness and making chipping wear more likely to occur during cutting.
It was set at 20-80% by volume. In addition, preferably 40~
A content of 60% by volume is desirable. In addition, in the production of the ultra-high pressure sintered material of this invention, the diamond powder used as the raw material powder has an average particle size of 50 μm or less, generally 10 μm or less, in order to ensure excellent sinterability. It is preferable to use diamond powder with a metal coating, and commercially available metal-coated diamond powder may also be used as the raw material powder. (b) BN BN is synthesized under conditions of a temperature of 1200℃ or higher and a pressure of 40Kb or higher, preferably a temperature of 1800℃ or higher and a pressure of 60Kb or higher, and has a hardness second only to diamond, that is, a Bitkers hardness of 6000 to 7000Kg/
mm 2 and has properties that are more stable at higher temperatures than diamond and are less likely to react with iron group metals; however, if its content is less than 5% by volume, the desired high-temperature oxidation resistance may not be achieved. However, if the content exceeds 50% by volume,
The relatively low diamond content makes it impossible to fully reflect the high hardness of diamond in the sintered material, and as a result,
Since it causes a decrease in wear resistance, the content should be increased to 5 to 50% by volume, preferably 15%.
~30% by volume is required. (c) Metallic carbon, nitride, and borides For example, titanium carbide (hereinafter referred to as TiC) has a melting point of 3147℃ and a microhardness of 3000Kg/mm 2 (load of 100
g), Titanium nitride (hereinafter referred to as TiN) has a melting point:
3205℃, microhardness: 2000Kg/mm 2 , and titanium boride (hereinafter referred to as TiB 2 ) has a melting point: 2980℃, microhardness: 3400Kg/mm 2 , respectively. All of these substances have high melting points and high hardness, and are superior in oxidation resistance at high temperatures compared to diamond.Moreover, metal carbon, nitride, and borides have diamond particles and diamond particles during sintering, as described above. In addition to causing grain boundary diffusion between BN particles and oxide particles to form strong interparticle bonds, BN itself has excellent sinterability, so BN It has the effect of forming a dense structure in coexistence with particles and oxide particles, but if its content is less than 1%, the desired effect cannot be obtained, resulting in a decrease in toughness. On the other hand, if the content exceeds 30% by volume, diamond and
If the BN content becomes too low, it will not be able to fully reflect the high hardness of diamond and BN in the sintered material, resulting in a decrease in wear resistance.
It was set at 30% by capacity. In addition, when manufacturing the ultra-high pressure sintered material of this invention, metal charcoal and
The nitride/boride powder is preferably a fine powder, and it is desirable to use a fine powder with an average particle size of 10 μm or less. (d) Oxide For example, Al 2 O 3 has a melting point of 2040℃ and a microhardness:
2720Kg/mm 2 (load: 50g), all oxides have a high melting point and high hardness, and they also have significantly superior high-temperature oxidation resistance (heat resistance) compared to diamond and metals such as carbon, nitride, and borides. gender). Oxides are also stable during sintering and cutting, so diamond and metal charcoal and
It does not oxidize nitrates and borides. Furthermore, since the oxide itself has a lower high-temperature hardness than BN, it is easily deformed during ultra-high pressure sintering, and also causes sliding between particles, resulting in diamond particles and
It has the effect of densely filling spaces between BN particles and metal carbon/nitrogen/boride particles to improve toughness, but if its content is less than 1% by volume, the desired effect cannot be obtained. Similarly, if the diamond and BN content exceeds 30% by volume, the diamond and BN contents become relatively too low, and the high hardness of diamond and BN cannot be sufficiently reflected in the sintered material. Since this results in a decrease in wear resistance, the content is set at 1 to 30% by volume. Note that the content is desirably 5 to 20% by volume. Further, in producing the ultra-high pressure sintered material of the present invention, the oxide powder used as the raw material powder is preferably fine, and it is desirable to use fine powder with an average particle size of 10 μm or less. Further, the ultra-high pressure sintered material of the present invention can be manufactured by a conventional powder metallurgy method using a known ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature generator. That is, diamond powder, BN powder, metal carbon/nitrogen/boride powder, and oxide powder are blended in a predetermined ratio as raw material powders, and this blended powder is mixed for a long time in a mixer such as an iron ball mill to make it homogeneous. Then, this mixed powder is sealed in a container made of steel or a high melting point metal in an ultra-high pressure and high temperature generator as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 36-23463, and the pressure and temperature are increased. , Maximum pressure: 54~70Kb, Maximum temperature:
A few minutes to pressure and temperature within the range of 1400-1800℃
It can be produced by a basic process consisting of holding for several tens of minutes, cooling and finally releasing the pressure. Next, the ultra-high pressure sintered material of the present invention will be explained using examples. Example 1 As raw material powder, each commercially available average particle size of 3μ
m diamond powder: 50% by volume, 6 μm diamond powder
BN powder: 30% by volume, 1 μm Al 2 O 3 powder: 10% by volume, and 2 μm TiC powder: 10% by volume were mixed, and this mixed powder was placed in a cemented carbide ball mill using acetone as a solvent. After mixing for 4 hours, it was dried. Next, apply this mixed powder to a diameter of 10 mm.
Packed into a stainless steel (JIS/SUS304) tube with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 10 mm, and poured into a cemented carbide (P20) tube while vacuuming.
lids made of aluminum were welded to both ends of the tube to seal the tube. In this way, the tube filled with the above mixed powder and sealed,
It was installed in a known ultra-high pressure and high temperature generator and sintered at a maximum applied pressure of 60 Kb and a maximum heating temperature of 1450°C for 10 minutes, then cooled and released the pressure to produce the results shown in Table 1. The ultra-high pressure sintered material of the present invention having the composition shown in (hereinafter referred to as the "invention material")
1 was manufactured. The resulting material 1 of the present invention had a dense structure in which diamond, BN, Al 2 O 3 and TiC were uniformly dispersed. Next, for the purpose of comparison, as shown in Table 1, comparative ultra-high pressure sintered materials (hereinafter referred to as comparative materials) 1 to 1 having component compositions outside the scope of the present invention were used.
Sample No. 8 was produced under the same conditions as those suitable for production of Invention 1 above, except that the mixing ratio of the raw material powders was changed so that the final component composition shown in Table 1 was obtained. Next, the above-mentioned present invention material 1, comparative materials 1 to 8,
Similarly, from a conventionally known ultra-high pressure sintered material whose main component is diamond (hereinafter referred to as conventional material 1) prepared for the purpose of comparison, a cutting edge is cut out by cutting and polishing means. Silver solder is used on the tungsten carbide-based cemented carbide chip.

[Table] As shown in Table 2, when the material of the present invention is used as a cutting tool, it has an extremely superior cutting ability compared to comparative materials and conventional materials having compositions outside the scope of the present invention. It is clear that it exhibits characteristics. Example 2 The blended powders were commercially available diamond powder with an average particle size of 3 μm: 50% by volume, BN powder with an average particle size of 6 μm: 25% by volume, Al 2 O 3 powder with an average particle size of 1 μm: 1% by volume, and TiC powder with an average particle size of 1 μm. : 5% by volume and 1μ
TiB 2 powder: 5% by volume, and the mixing time was 1 hour. Inventive material 2 having the final component composition was produced. Next, cutting tools were manufactured from the above-mentioned Inventive Material 2 and the same conventional material as used in Example 1 under the same conditions as in Example 1, and drilling of aluminum alloy members was performed to improve the tool life. When we measured the number of holes drilled until the
The cutting tool made from Inventive Material 2 was able to drill 55,000 holes, whereas the cutting tool made from the conventional material could only drill 13,000 holes. It is clear that the material has very good cutting properties. Example 3 The blended powders were each commercially available with an average particle size of 1 to 2 μm.
m diamond powder: 40% by volume, 6 μm diamond powder
BN powder: 20% by volume, Al 2 O 3 powder of 1 μm: 10% by volume, MgO powder of 1 μm: 10% by volume, and TiN powder of 1 μm: 20% by volume, and the mixing time was 1 hour. Except for the above, inventive material 3 was produced under the same conditions as the inventive material 1 in Example 1, having substantially the same final component composition as the blended powder composition. Next, the above-mentioned inventive material 3, the same conventional material 1 used in Example 1, and the conventionally known main components were
Cutting tools were manufactured from ultra-high pressure sintered material made of BN (hereinafter referred to as conventional material 2) under the same conditions as in Example 1, and workpiece materials: JIS-SNCM-8 (hardness H R C50), A cutting test was conducted under the following conditions: cutting speed: 120 m/min, feed: 0.1 mm/rev., depth of cut: 0.1 mm, cutting oil: none, and the time required for the flank wear of each of the above cutting tools to reach 0.2 mm. When measured, it was found that the cutting tool made of conventional material 1 reached the wear amount in 30 minutes, and the cutting tool made of conventional material 2 reached the wear amount in 80 minutes, whereas the cutting tool made of inventive material 3 reached the wear amount in 30 minutes. It took 150 minutes, which is significantly longer than using tools. As mentioned above, the ultra-high pressure sintered material of this invention has excellent toughness, high-temperature oxidation resistance (heat resistance), and wear resistance, so it is particularly suitable for use as a material for cutting tools. It demonstrates cutting performance.
