(円相当径が1μm以上の結晶粒の面積比率S1)
立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体は、立方晶窒化硼素の結晶粒、並びに、任意で圧縮型六方晶窒化硼素の結晶粒及びウルツ鉱型窒化硼素の結晶粒を含む複数の結晶粒から構成される。立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体は、その断面を走査型電子顕微鏡を用いて10000倍の倍率で観察した場合、円相当径が1μm以上の結晶粒の面積比率S1(以下、「面積比率S1」とも記す。)が20%以下である。ここで円相当径とは、結晶粒の面積と同一の面積を有する円の直径を意味する。
結晶粒は、円相当径のメジアン径d50が0.1μm以上0.5μm以下であることが好ましい。従来、立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体は、結晶粒の粒径が小さいほど切削性能が向上すると考えられていた。このため、立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体を構成する結晶粒の粒径を小さくしていた(例えば、平均粒径100nm未満)が、これにより靱性が低下する傾向があった。一方、本実施形態に係る立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体においては、結晶粒の粒径が、従来に比べて大きいため、立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体の靱性が向上し、耐摩耗性が向上する。結晶粒の円相当径のメジアン径d50は、0.15μm以上0.35μm以下がより好ましく、0.2μm以上0.3μm以下が更に好ましい。
立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体は、その断面を走査型電子顕微鏡を用いて10000倍の倍率で観察した場合、アスペクト比が4以上の粒子の面積比率S2(以下、「面積比率S2」とも記す。)が5面積%以下であることが好ましい。従来の立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体では、粒径を小さくすることに伴う靱性の低下を、立方晶多結晶体中に板状組織を存在させることにより補っていた。しかし、この板状組織は、特に難削材の高能率加工中に、突発的に刃先から脱落して刃先の欠損を生じさせるため、工具寿命のばらつき及び低下の要因となっていた。
本明細書において、立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体における円相当径が1μm以上の結晶粒の面積比率S1、アスペクト比が4以上の粒子の面積比率S2及び結晶粒の円相当径のメジアン径d50とは、任意に選択された5箇所の各測定箇所において、面積比率S1、面積比率S2及び結晶粒のメジアン径d50をそれぞれ測定し、これらの平均値を算出することにより得られた値を意味する。
本実施形態に係る窒化硼素多結晶体は、切削工具、耐摩工具、研削工具などに用いることが好適である。すなわち、本実施形態に係る切削工具、耐摩工具および研削工具は、それぞれ上記窒化硼素多結晶体を備えることが好ましい。
本開示の一実施の形態に係る立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体の製造方法を、図4~図6を用いて説明する。図4は、窒化硼素の圧力-温度相図である。図5は、本開示の一実施の形態に係る立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体の製造工程を説明するための図である。図6は、従来の立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体の製造工程を説明するための図である。

P≧-0.085T+117 (D)
本明細書において、立方晶窒化硼素の安定領域内の温度及び圧力(図4において、「cBN安定領域」と記す。)は、温度をT℃、圧力をPGPaとした時に、下記式(D)及び下記式(E)を同時に満たす温度及び圧力として定義する。
P≧0.0027T+0.3333 (E)
本実施形態では、加熱加圧工程において到達する温度及び圧力、及び、温度圧力保持工程において保持される温度及び圧力は、温度1900℃以上2400℃以下及び圧力8GPa以上である。この温度及び圧力は、優れた工具性能を有する立方晶窒化硼素が得られる温度及び圧力である。すなわち、本実施形態では、1900℃以上2400℃以下及び圧力8GPa以上を目的温度及び目的圧力として設定している。
立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体の原料として、六方晶窒化硼素粉末を準備する。六方晶窒化硼素粉末は、純度(六方晶窒化硼素の含有率)が98.5%以上が好ましく、99%以上がより好ましく、100%が最も好ましい。六方晶窒化硼素粉末の粒径は特に限定されないが、例えば、0.1μm以上10μm以下とすることができる。
次に、六方晶窒化硼素粉末を、超高圧高温発生装置を用いて、-50℃以上100℃以下の温度範囲を維持しつつ、0.5GPa以上6GPa以下の圧力(以下、「前処理工程到達圧力」とも記す。)まで加圧する(例えば図5の矢印A1、矢印A2、矢印A3)。
次に、六方晶窒化硼素粉末を、ウルツ鉱型窒化硼素の安定領域内の温度及び圧力を通過せずに、1900℃以上2400℃以下の温度(以下、「加熱加圧工程における到達温度」とも記す。)、及び、8GPa以上の圧力(以下、「加熱加圧工程における到達圧力」とも記す。)まで加熱加圧する。前記の前処理工程を行った場合は、前処理工程後の六方晶窒化硼素粉末を、前処理工程の最後に到達した到達温度、及び、前処理工程到達圧力から、ウルツ鉱型窒化硼素の安定領域内の温度及び圧力を通過せずに、1900℃以上2400℃以下の温度、及び、8GPa以上の圧力まで加熱加圧する。
P<0.0051T-0.1275 式4
これによると、加熱加圧工程がウルツ鉱型窒化硼素の安定領域内を通過することを確実に回避することができる。
P<0.0051T-0.1275 式6
これによると、加熱加圧工程がウルツ鉱型窒化硼素の安定領域内を通過することを確実に回避することができる。
上記の加熱加圧工程の後に、加熱加圧工程により得られた立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体を、1900℃以上2400℃以下の温度(以下、「焼結温度」とも記す。)、及び、8GPa以上の圧力(以下、「焼結圧力」とも記す。)条件下で10分以上保持する工程を行うことができる。これにより、得られた立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体は、立方晶窒化硼素の含有率が大きくなり、更に長い工具寿命を達成することができる。
本実施例では、立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体の製造条件と、得られる立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体の構成(組成、結晶粒のメジアン径、円相当径1μm以上の結晶粒の面積比率S1、アスペクト比が4以上の粒子の面積比率S2)、ビッカース硬度、及び、性能との関係を調べた。
各試料の立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体を、下記の手順に従って作製した。
各試料の立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体をダイヤモンド砥石電着ワイヤーで切断し、切断面を観察面とする。X線回折装置(Rigaku社製「MiniFlex600」(商品名))を用いて立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体の切断面のX線スペクトルを得る。このときのX線回折装置の条件は、下記の通りとする。
特性X線: Cu-Kα(波長1.54Å)
管電圧: 45kV
管電流: 40mA
フィルター: 多層ミラー
光学系: 集中法
X線回折法: θ-2θ法。
各試料の立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体について、JIS R 1623に記載の方法で、1000℃、荷重1kg重の条件下でビッカース硬度Hvを測定した。結果を表1の「ビッカース硬度Hv」の欄に示す。
各試料の立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体に含まれる結晶粒について、円相当径のメジアン径d50、円相当径1μm以上の結晶粒の面積比率及びアスペクト比が4以上の粒子の面積比率を測定した。具体的な方法は下記の通りである。
得られた焼結体を、レーザにより切断して仕上げ加工し、工具型番CNGA120408の切削工具を作製した。得られた切削工具を用いて、以下の切削条件でチタン合金(Ti-6Al-4V)の丸棒外形旋削加工を行い、耐摩耗性を評価した。
切削速度:250m/min.
切込み量:0.2mm
送り量:0.1mm/rev
切削油:あり
上記の切削条件で切削し、逃げ面摩耗量が0.1mmに到達、又は、チッピング最大値が0.1mmに到達するまでの加工時間を測定した。加工時間が長いほど、耐摩耗性及び耐欠損性に優れ、工具寿命が長いことを示している。切削試験は3回行った。結果を表1の「逃げ面摩耗またはチッピング最大値が0.1mmを超えるまでの加工時間」の欄に示す。
試料1~試料10、試料17、試料19及び試料20の製造方法は、六方晶窒化硼素粉末を、ウルツ鉱型窒化硼素の安定領域内の温度及び圧力を通過せずに、1900℃以上2400℃以下の温度、及び、8GPa以上の圧力まで加熱加圧する工程を含み、実施例に該当する。試料1~試料10、試料17、試料19及び試料20の立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体は、立方晶窒化硼素を98.5体積%以上含み、円相当径が1μm以上の結晶粒の面積比率S1が20面積%以下であり、実施例に該当する。試料1~試料10、試料17、試料19及び試料20の立方晶窒化硼素多結晶体は、ビッカース硬度が高く、工具として用いた場合に、難削材の高能率加工においても、工具寿命のばらつきがなく、安定的に長い工具寿命を有することのできることが確認された。中でも、試料1~試料10、試料17及び試料19は、アスペクト比が4以上の粒子の面積比率S2が5面積%以下であり、更に長い工具寿命を有することが確認された。
