2. Description of the Related Art The development of high-performance cemented carbide tools and machine tools with high-speed rotation specifications has been advanced, and high-speed cutting methods for cutting at low cutting speed and high-speed rotation have become widespread. This is especially noticeable in cutting with a ball end mill, but since the radial inner end of the cutting edge is on the axis of the main body, that is, on the center of rotation, no matter how fast the tool rotates, it will be zero at the center of rotation. , Near which the speed is close to zero. At such a slow speed, as is well known, the working form approaches plastic working,
Good cutting cannot be expected. In the finish cutting, for example, as in a ball end mill described in JP-A-5-228714, a CBN sintered body forming a cutting edge has an angle of 0 ° or more and 45 ° or less with respect to the axis of the main body. 5 to 1 in the direction
A rake angle of 5 ° is provided to enhance the sharpness of the inner end side of the cutting edge 8, and at the same time, the cutting edge 8 is formed into a convex arc in the rotation direction to reduce cutting resistance, suppress tool vibration, and chip the cutting edge. We are trying to prevent it.

However, in the finish cutting by the ball end mill, only the vicinity of the ball center of the ball end mill is used. Therefore, the finish cut surface by the ball end mill is roughly classified into a surface cut by the chisel blade and a surface cut by the subsequent ball blade. Since the rake angle of the surface cut by the chisel blade is a large negative angle, the processed surface has the appearance of a burnishing surface. The surface cut by the ball blade becomes a normal cut surface. On the cutting surface, the part cut by the chisel blade causes diffuse reflection, and makes the appearance worse. Further, in a ball end mill, as the cutting length becomes longer, wear progresses, and in particular, the amount of wear near the center of the ball blade affects the roughness of the cut surface. The amount of abrasion is greatly affected not only by the flank but also by the amount of axial retreat of the blade edge (hereinafter referred to as abrasion), and the entire ball blade becomes concave.

In the present invention, the blade shape of the ball end mill was examined by increasing the length of the chisel blade to increase the pick feed amount and making the cut surface a surface processed only by the chisel blade. Therefore, the length of the chisel blade is set to be longer than the generally used pick fee degree of about 0.1 to 0.5 mm. When cutting with a long chisel blade, the generated chips have a small chip thickness, good plastic deformability of the chips, do not have a swarf surface, and do not become excessively bite, and scratches on the cutting surface This is unlikely to occur, and there is no or no cutting surface subsequently cut by the ball blade. Therefore, cutting burrs are reduced, and both the cutting surface roughness and the surface properties are improved. Furthermore, irregular reflection generated on the cut surface was suppressed, and the appearance of the cut surface was improved.

Next, the R accuracy including the chisel blade is +0.0
The range of 0.05 to -0.025 mm is +0.005.
If it exceeds mm, the cutting edge is likely to be damaged, such as chipping, because it suddenly comes out too much.Moreover, the unevenness of the cutting surface increases, and if it is recessed from -0.025 mm, it is related to the amount of wear described below, Since it is the same as the advanced state, the range is +0.005 to -0.025 mm. In addition, as the cemented carbide as the base material, an ultra-fine-grain cemented carbide having particularly excellent wear resistance against abrasion is used. Among them, a cemented carbide having a hardness of 92 or more on an HRA scale with a small cobalt content is used. Are suitable. Furthermore, preferably HR

First, in the initial stage of cutting, when the chisel length of the example of the present invention is longer than the pick feed amount, as shown in FIG. 4, the cutter mark draws a clear trochoid curve and has a good glossy surface property. there were. next,
In the comparative example where the chisel length was shorter than the pick feed amount, the trochoid curve was partially disturbed as shown in FIG. 5, resulting in a rough cut surface considered to be irregular reflection. Next, at a cutting length of 10 m, in the case of HRA 91.5 where the hardness of the cemented carbide substrate was low, the state of the cut surface was in a peeling state.
It was abraded by 35 mm, and the cutting edge was recessed axially rearward. In the other examples of the present invention having an HRA of 92.5 or more, a favorable state was maintained. Further, the test was continued, and when the cutting length was 50 m, the hardness of the cemented carbide substrate was low in HR.
Even in A92.5, the cut surface was formed so as to be slightly peeled off, and the amount of abrasion was concave at 0.025 mm. Other HRA 93.5
In the above example, a good state was maintained. Similarly, in terms of the cut surface roughness, both were inferior to the theoretical cut surface roughness, but the range where the pick feed amount was relatively smaller than the length of the chisel blade was better than the range where the pick feed amount was larger.
