On the other hand, any of these conventional carbon-based hard coatings can be used as a tool for cutting a metal, especially a tool for cutting a metal, until the aluminum is cut. The cutting tool does not withstand cutting, and the cutting performance of such a tool coated with a carbon-based hard coating is lower than that of an untreated tool. It is considered that the cause of this is that due to the concentration of stress at the tip of the blade portion, the internal stress of the film or the rupture strength of the fine crystal / amorphous material is weak, so that flaking occurs and welding of the non-cutting material proceeds. On the other hand, as a problem in the production of these conventional films, in the case of a plasma CVD method, a coating tool requires a plurality of treatments and the film forming speed is low, resulting in an increase in cost. In the case of sputtering or arc ion plating of a carbon target, there is a drawback that a plasma formation range for ionizing carbon is narrow and is not suitable for mass production. It is an object of the present invention to provide a high-speed tool steel or cemented carbide-based tool used for a tool including a drill, an end mill or a tap, directly on a tool, or on a TiN, T

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To this end, the present invention is directed to a tool for high speed tool steel or cemented carbide used in tools, including drills, end mills and taps, either directly or on said tool. A hard carbon-based lubricating film containing a hard carbon film, that is, a so-called diamond-like carbon (DLC), on a coating tool coated with a hard material containing TiN, TiCN, TiAlN, A 2 O 3 or a combination thereof,

As a method of manufacturing a tool member having a hard carbon-based lubricating film having such a structure, the applicant has proposed a PCVD (plasma CV) having the same structure as an ion plating apparatus having a high plasma density.
D) DCL is formed using an apparatus. In general, a PCVD apparatus has a plasma generation source, and is not much different from an ion plating apparatus in that a reaction gas is decomposed in plasma to form a film. In addition, by the ion plating device,
It is theoretically possible to install a carbon (carbon) evaporation source to make it easier to generate nuclei at the beginning of film formation, and to form a DLC film equivalent to PCVD as a film of hydrocarbon such as acetylene or benzene. Although the resulting film itself is often higher quality than the film obtained by PCVD, it is insufficient for cutting tool applications. The applicant has investigated and studied various intermediate layers and film forming conditions, and as a result, it has been found that the metalloids, ie, Si, Al and B, are excellent in both strength and adhesion, but no reaction is observed in the formation of AlC. Applicants have chosen Si (silicon) because it is sufficient and the formation of BC is itself weak in breaking strength. There is a front-to-back relationship between the breaking strength and the adhesion, and as shown in FIG. 1 (2), peeling occurs when the breaking strength is weak or the adhesion is insufficient by an indentation test using a Rockwell hardness tester. Empirically, it is a necessary condition that the coating film used for the tool does not peel off in the indentation test. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, it is known that when a crack is formed by an indentation test using a Rockwell hardness tester, the film is known to have high ductility, and is not suitable for wear-resistant use. On the other hand, as one of the lubricating films, a composite that combines a metal carbide such as WC / C with a C film formed on a WC film has also been proposed, but a similar effect may be expected with this method. However, there are disadvantages in that the sputtering method, particularly using a plurality of evaporation sources, and the carbide evaporation source are expensive. For Si, Si + SiC + DLC by CVD
Is known, but the reaction gas has high toxicity (usually silane) and is expensive, and is not suitable for the machine industry.

According to the present invention, a hard carbon-based lubricating film can be easily and basically formed under the conditions defined in claim 1 by using a technique of continuous ion plating and PCVD. When the thickness of the hard carbon-based lubricating film exceeds 2.0 μm, the film is also removed when chips are discharged during cutting due to strength problems. The uppermost carbon film has no effect unless the film thickness is 0.2 μm or more, and the strength of the entire film is insufficient if the film thickness is 1.0 μm or more. Fig. 1 (1)
As a result, a coating film having high breaking strength was obtained. If the thickness of the layer of silicon alone in contact with the interface is not more than 0.02 μm, there is no effect, and if it exceeds 0.5 μm, the strength of the whole film becomes insufficient. The above is the limitation reason of claim 1.

In general, a film used for abrasion resistance generally has a high hardness. However, in the case of a conventional hard carbon coating, if the hardness is too high due to the ability to follow the bending strength with the base metal, the hardness is too low. Peeling occurs as shown in 1 (2). As defined in claim 2, the practical hardness is equal to or higher than the base metal hardness, and within a base metal hardness + HV500 slightly higher than the base material hardness, other than SiC in ordinary X-ray diffraction. Desirably, no crystal plane is confirmed. Further, as defined in claim 3, the film of the intermediate layer has a silicon concentration decreasing toward the uppermost layer, has improved adhesion with the carbon coating of the uppermost layer, and has a film of the intermediate layer. The nitrogen concentration was set to be in a range of 10% or less with respect to the carbon concentration to improve the followability with the base metal strength. FIG. 3 shows an X-ray diffraction profile (Cu-ka: 40 KV) of Si + SiC + DLC of the hard carbon-based lubricating film of the present invention.

The following processes were respectively performed by the ion plating apparatus shown in FIG. 4, the friction coefficient was measured using the ball-on-disk apparatus shown in FIG. 8, and the hard carbon-based material was measured using an A-scale Rockwell hardness tester. The oxide film was determined by the Rockwell indentation by observing the indentation generated when the lubricating film was pressed at a magnification of 100 times. Fig. 1 (1),
(2) and FIG. 2 show criteria for determinations A, B and C. Table 1 shows the results. The processing conditions of the ion plating apparatus of the first embodiment are as follows. The ion plating apparatus of FIG. 4 is evacuated to 2 × 10 −5 Torr or more, and heating and bombardment (plasma cleaning) are performed. In the process, the temperature was controlled at 300 ° C or less, and the bombarding process was controlled weaker than usual. The crucible to be used is a carbon crucible, and Si is inserted. Then, when coating is started, Si evaporates, and when acetylene is appropriately introduced, the substrate voltage is reduced.
