【発明の詳細な説明】
本発明は切削工具として用いられるSi3N4を主
成分とするセラミツク材料に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a ceramic material containing Si 3 N 4 as a main component and used as a cutting tool.
切削工具用材料としては、WCを主成分とする
超硬合金、TiCを主成分とするサーメツト、ある
いはAl2O3を主成分とするセラミツクスが主流で
あり、さらに複合材料として超硬工具の表面に
TiC,Al2O3を被覆するコーテイング工具が開発
されつつある。一方W資源、Co資源の供給不足
からWC―Co系合金に代りうる合金の開発がいわ
ゆる省Wとして研究されつつある。この一つの侯
補として窒化硅素あるいは炭化硅素を主成分とす
るセラミツクスが有望視されている。この理由は
これらの化合物は熱膨張率が低く、高温耐酸化性
が良いため、高速切削時の刃先温度の上昇(1000
℃近辺)に十分耐えることや、高温における靭性
がAl2O3セラミツクス等に比較してはるかに良い
等が考えられる。しかしながらSi3N4,SiCを主成
分とする切削工具はまだ市販されていない。 The main materials for cutting tools are cemented carbide mainly composed of WC, cermets mainly composed of TiC, and ceramics mainly composed of Al 2 O 3 . to
Coating tools that coat TiC and Al 2 O 3 are being developed. On the other hand, due to the shortage of W resources and Co resources, research is underway to develop alloys that can replace WC-Co alloys as a so-called W-saving approach. Ceramics containing silicon nitride or silicon carbide as a main component are seen as promising candidates. The reason for this is that these compounds have a low coefficient of thermal expansion and good high-temperature oxidation resistance, which reduces the increase in cutting edge temperature during high-speed cutting (1000
It is thought that it can withstand temperatures of around 30°F (°C), and its toughness at high temperatures is much better than that of Al 2 O 3 ceramics. However, cutting tools containing Si 3 N 4 and SiC as main components are not yet commercially available.
Si3N4を主成分とする焼結体を用いて鋼を切削
すると短時間で工具刃先のすくい面側で異常摩耗
を起し、刃先が欠損するという問題があるためで
ある。この対策としてSi3N4工具表面にAl2O3等の
コーテイング膜をほどこすと、摩耗は正常になり
従来のWC―TiC―TaC―Co系合金、あるいは
TiC―TiNサーメツト工具と全く同等の性能を示
し、高速切削側ではSi3N4がむしろ有利であるこ
とが本発明者らの研究により明らかとなつた。 This is because when steel is cut using a sintered body containing Si 3 N 4 as the main component, abnormal wear occurs on the rake face side of the tool cutting edge in a short period of time, causing the cutting edge to break. As a countermeasure to this, if a coating film such as Al 2 O 3 is applied to the surface of the Si 3 N 4 tool, the wear will become normal and it will
The research conducted by the present inventors has revealed that Si 3 N 4 exhibits exactly the same performance as TiC-TiN cermet tools, and is actually more advantageous on the high-speed cutting side.
一般にSi3N4の焼結体はY2O3,MgO,Al2O3,
ZrO2等の酸化物と共に焼結し、SiO2とのスピネ
ルを形成して焼結体の密度を上げる。このように
酸化物と共に焼結すると高温の強度が下るためな
るべく添加物を少なくする必要があり、これらの
研究が数多くなされている。しかしながら添加物
が少なくなるとSi3N4の粒界の強度が低下する。
この粒界強度の低下は切削時に切粉と共にSi3N4
の粒子が持ち去られるため刃先部の異常摩耗の原
因となるようである。 Generally, sintered bodies of Si 3 N 4 are made of Y 2 O 3 , MgO, Al 2 O 3 ,
It is sintered with oxides such as ZrO 2 to form spinel with SiO 2 to increase the density of the sintered body. Since sintering with oxides reduces the strength at high temperatures, it is necessary to reduce the amount of additives as much as possible, and many studies have been conducted on this topic. However, as the amount of additives decreases, the strength of the Si 3 N 4 grain boundaries decreases.
This decrease in grain boundary strength is caused by Si 3 N 4 along with chips during cutting.
This seems to cause abnormal wear of the cutting edge because the particles are carried away.
本発明者らは高温での強度が低下せず、しかも
Si3N4粒子をしつかりと固着する結合剤を種々検
討した結果、a,a,a族の硅素化物が
Si3N4の焼結に最も適していることを見い出し
た。 The present inventors have found that the strength at high temperatures does not decrease, and
As a result of investigating various binders that firmly fix Si 3 N 4 particles, we found that silicides of group a, a, and a
It was found that it is most suitable for sintering Si 3 N 4 .
a族の硅素化物としてはTiSi2(融点m.p=
1540℃)、ZrSi2(m.p=1520℃)、a族の硅素
化物としてはVSi2(m.p=1600℃)、NbSi2(m.p
=1950℃)、TaSi2(m.p=2400℃)、a族の硅
素化物としてCrSi2(m.p=1570℃)、MoSi2(m.
p=1870℃)、WSi2(m.p=2650℃)等が挙げら
れる。 TiSi 2 (melting point mp=
1540℃), ZrSi 2 (mp=1520℃), group a silicides include VSi 2 (mp=1600℃), NbSi 2 (mp
= 1950°C), TaSi 2 (mp = 2400°C), CrSi 2 (mp = 1570°C), MoSi 2 (m.
p=1870°C), WSi 2 (mp=2650°C), etc.
この内MoSi2が切削工具用Si3N4焼結体に適し
ている。Si3N4の焼結温度は1600℃〜1900℃であ
り、特に1700℃〜1850℃の間が望ましい。1850℃
ではSi3N4のαからβへの変態ならびにSi3N4の分
解、脱窒素などの変化が起る。この時結合剤とし
てMoSi2等が共存していると分解したSiはMoSi2
中に吸収されることにより焼結が急速に進む。 Of these, MoSi 2 is suitable for Si 3 N 4 sintered bodies for cutting tools. The sintering temperature of Si 3 N 4 is 1600°C to 1900°C, and preferably 1700°C to 1850°C. 1850℃
In this case, changes such as transformation of Si 3 N 4 from α to β, decomposition of Si 3 N 4 , and denitrification occur. At this time, if MoSi 2 etc. coexists as a binder, the decomposed Si becomes MoSi 2
The sintering progresses rapidly due to the absorption in the material.
MoSi2は1重量%未満では焼結性向上の効果が
なく20重量%を超えると高温特性を低下させる。 If MoSi 2 is less than 1% by weight, it has no effect on improving sinterability, and if it exceeds 20% by weight, it deteriorates the high-temperature properties.
この硅素化物と共に焼結すると、焼結体の粒界
の濡れが向上するので切削時の摩耗が著しく減少
することが分つた。 It has been found that sintering with this silicide improves the wetting of the grain boundaries of the sintered body, thereby significantly reducing wear during cutting.
本方法の実施において焼結促進剤として5重量
%以下のMgO,Y2O3,Al2O3を加えても良い。
これら焼結促進剤は5重量%を超えると高温特性

結体を得難い。 In carrying out this method, up to 5% by weight of MgO, Y 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 may be added as a sintering accelerator.
When these sintering accelerators exceed 5% by weight, the high temperature properties deteriorate. Further, it is desirable that the Si 3 N 4 raw material powder used contains 70% by weight or more of the α phase; if the α phase is less than 70% by weight, the sinterability is poor and it is difficult to obtain a high-strength sintered body in the end.

A mixed powder containing 10% by weight and 1% by weight of MgO was pressure-molded at a pressure of 5 tons/cm 2 to form a tool edge shape of SNG432. This molded body was buried in Si 3 N 4 powder and sintered in a vacuum furnace consisting of a carbon heating element. The sintering conditions were as follows: the pressure was adjusted to 500 Torr in a reduced-pressure nitrogen atmosphere, and the temperature was maintained at 1750° C. for 2 hours. The obtained sintered body had a specific gravity of 98% or more of the theoretical specific gravity. A carbon steel cutting test was conducted using the sintered body as a cutting tip of SNG432.
The carbon steel used had a hardness of approximately HB200 and a C content of approximately 0.5% by weight, and was cut at a cutting speed of 200 m/min, depth of cut of 1.5 mm, and feed rate of 0.3 mm/rotation.
The tool life time was measured.
