Abstract
Description
最初に本発明の実施態様を列記して説明する。
[8]本発明の一態様に係る切削工具は、本発明の一態様に係る焼結体を含む。これにより、本発明の一態様に係る切削工具では、高速の長距離切削における耐欠損性が向上する。
以下、本発明の実施形態(以下「本実施形態」とも記す)についてさらに詳細に説明する。
本発明者らの鋭意検討により得られた焼結体(「本実施形態の焼結体」に相当)は、第1材料と第2材料と第3材料とを有する。第1材料は、立方晶窒化硼素である。第2材料は、ジルコニウムを含む化合物である。第3材料は、アルミニウム酸化物であり、アルミニウム酸化物は、微細なアルミニウム酸化物を含む。本実施形態の焼結体は、微細なアルミニウム酸化物が第2材料中に5体積%以上50体積%以下分散してなる第1領域を有する。第1領域における任意の直線上において、微細なアルミニウム酸化物が占める連続する距離の平均値が0.08μm以下であり、且つ、微細なアルミニウム酸化物が占める連続する距離の標準偏差が0.1μm以下である。
本実施形態の焼結体に含まれる第1材料は、立方晶窒化硼素である。本実施形態の立方晶窒化硼素は、平均粒径が0.1μm以上10μm以下の粒子形状を有することが好ましい。cBN粒子(立方晶窒化硼素からなる粒子)の平均粒径が0.1μm未満であれば、立方晶窒化硼素と他の粉末との混合時に凝集が起こり易いので、焼結不良を招く傾向がある。また、cBN粒子の平均粒径が10μmを超えると、焼結体の強度低下を招く傾向がある。より好ましくは、本実施形態の立方晶窒化硼素は平均粒径が0.1μm以上5μm以下の粒子形状を有する。
本実施形態の焼結体に含まれる第2材料は、ジルコニウムを含む化合物(以下「Zr化合物」とも記す)である。本実施形態のZr化合物には、たとえばZrO2、ZrOまたはZrB2等が含まれる。本実施形態のZrO2には、立方晶ZrO2および正方晶ZrO2が含まれ、従来公知の部分安定化ZrO2もまた含まれる。従来公知の部分安定化ZrO2とは、ジルコニア以外の酸化物を固溶させることにより、ジルコニアの結晶構造中の酸素空孔が減少し、その結果、結晶構造が安定化されたZrO2を意味し、つまり、室温下においても結晶構造(たとえば立方晶または正方晶)が安定または準安定なZrO2を意味する。上記「ジルコニア以外の酸化物」としては、酸化カルシウムおよび酸化マグネシウムをはじめ、酸化イットリウム等の希土類酸化物を挙げることができる。従来公知の部分安定化ZrO2は、このようなジルコニア以外の酸化物を1種または2種以上含むことができる。なお、ジルコニア以外の酸化物の固溶量は、ZrO2に対し1~4mol%程度であることが好ましい。
本実施形態の焼結体に含まれる第3材料は、アルミニウム酸化物である。本実施形態のアルミニウム酸化物には、Al2O3が含まれ、本実施形態のAl2O3には、α-Al2O3およびγ-Al2O3が含まれる。
本実施形態の焼結体は、微細なアルミニウム酸化物が第2材料中に5体積%以上50体積%以下分散してなる第1領域(焼結体における結合相として機能すると考えられる)を有する。第1領域における任意の直線上において、微細なアルミニウム酸化物が占める連続する距離の平均値は0.08μm以下であり、微細なアルミニウム酸化物が占める連続する距離の標準偏差は0.1μm以下である。本実施形態の焼結体がこのような第1領域を有しているので、本実施形態の焼結体では良好な耐欠損性と良好な耐摩耗性とを両立できる。特に、非常に良好な耐欠損性を実現することができる。その理由としては、微細なアルミニウムによる焼結体組織の強靭化および高強度化に起因して焼結体の靱性および強度が飛躍的に向上するからである、と考えられる。
本実施形態の焼結体は、上記第1~第3材料以外に、第4材料をさらに有することができる。第4材料は、酸化マグネシウム、酸化セリウム、酸化イットリウム、および酸化ハフニウムからなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種であることが好ましい。このような第4材料が焼結体に含まれていれば、焼結性が向上するので、焼結体の強度がさらに向上する。
本実施形態の焼結体は、上記第1~第3材料以外に、第5材料をさらに有することができる。第5材料は、第4材料と共に、本実施形態の焼結体に含まれていても良い。
本実施形態の焼結体は、以下のようにして製造することができる。すなわち、まず、焼結体の原料を準備する。次いで、準備した焼結体の原料を混合した後、焼結させる。このようにして、本実施形態の焼結体を製造することができる。以下、工程ごとに示す。
焼結体の原料として、第1領域を形成することとなる材料(以下「第1領域用材料」と記す)と立方晶窒化硼素とを準備する。第1領域用材料は次に示す方法にしたがって製造されたものであることが好ましい。また、焼結体の原料として、第1領域用材料および立方晶窒化硼素とは異なる材料(たとえば粗大なアルミニウム酸化物、第4材料または第5材料等)をさらに準備しても良い。
第1領域用材料は、たとえば、以下のような中和共沈法またはゾル-ゲル法によって得ることができる。
中和共沈法とは、以下の工程Aおよび工程Bを含む方法である。このような方法は、たとえば2013年に発表された論文(J. Jpn. Soc. Powder Power Metallurgy,Vol.60,No.10,P428-435)に記載されている。
ゾル-ゲル法とは、以下の工程Xを含む方法である。このような方法は、たとえば2011年に発表された論文(J. Jpn. Soc. Powder Power Metallurgy,Vol.58,No.12,P727-732)に記載されている。
本実施形態の第1領域用材料は、以下に示す方法によっても得ることができる。すなわち、ビーズミルまたはボールミルのような粉砕機を用いて部分安定化ZrO2とAl2O3とをエタノール等の溶媒中で混合しスラリーを得る。次いで、このスラリーを用いて造粒する。このようにして、第1領域用材料を得ることができる。造粒手段は特に限定されず、たとえば、溶融造粒、または、噴霧造粒等であることが好ましい。
(1) 第1領域用材料を熱処理炉(たとえば1000℃、真空中、3時間)で焼結する。
(2) 造粒物の前駆体である上記スラリーにバインダー(たとえば一般的バインダーであるPVB(ポリビニルブチラール(poly(vinyl butyral)))を10質量%添加する。
ビーズミルまたはボールミル等を用いて、得られた第1領域用材料と立方晶窒化硼素と必要に応じてその他の材料(たとえば粗大なアルミニウム酸化物、第4材料または第5材料等)とを混合する。その後、得られた混合物を焼結する。たとえば、1300℃以上1700℃以下の温度および10MPa以上7GPa以下の圧力で10分間以上60分間以下、焼結することが好ましい。より好ましくは、4GPa以上7GPa以下の圧力で焼結を行う。焼結方法としては、特に限定されないが、放電プラズマ焼結(SPS(Spark Plasma Sintering))、ホットプレスまたは超高圧プレス等を用いることができる。
上述したように、本実施形態の焼結体は、良好な耐欠損性と良好な耐摩耗性とを示す。そのため、本実施形態の焼結体を切削工具等に使用することが好適である。すなわち、本実施形態の切削工具は、本実施形態の焼結体を含むものである。
