【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、硬質被覆層が高強度を有し、かつ高温硬さと耐熱性にもすぐれ、したがって特に各種の鋼や鋳鉄などの高速切削加工を、高い熱的機械的衝撃を伴う高切り込みや高送りなどの重切削条件で行なった場合にも、硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐チッピング性および耐摩耗性を発揮する表面被覆超硬合金製切削工具(以下、被覆超硬工具という)に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、被覆超硬工具には、各種の鋼や鋳鉄などの被削材の旋削加工や平削り加工にバイトの先端部に着脱自在に取り付けて用いられるスローアウエイチップ、穴あけ切削加工などに用いられるドリルやミニチュアドリル、さらに面削加工や溝加工、肩加工などに用いられるソリッドタイプのエンドミルなどがあり、また前記スローアウエイチップを着脱自在に取り付けて前記ソリッドタイプのエンドミルと同様に切削加工を行うスローアウエイエンドミル工具などが知られている。
【0003】
また、被覆超硬工具として、炭化タングステン(以下、WCで示す)基超硬合金または炭窒化チタン(以下、TiCNで示す)基サーメットからなる基体(以下、これらを総称して超硬基体と云う)の表面に、個々の層厚が1μm以下のAl酸化物(以下、Al2O3で示す)層とTi炭化物(以下、TiCで示す)層とを交互積層して、2〜20μmの全体平均層厚で蒸着してなる被覆超硬工具が提案され、前記硬質被覆層を構成するAl2O3−TiC交互積層が、Al2O3層による高温硬さおよび耐熱性と、TiC層による強度を具備することから、かかる被覆超硬工具を各種の鋼や鋳鉄などの連続切削や断続切削加工に用いた場合にすぐれた切削性能を発揮することも知られている(例えば特許文献1参照)。
【0004】
さらに、上記の被覆超硬工具が、例えば図1に概略縦断面図で示される通り、中央部にステンレス鋼製の反応ガス吹き出し管が立設され、前記反応ガス吹き出し管には、図2(a)に概略斜視図で、同(b)に概略平面図で例示される黒鉛製の超硬基体支持パレットが串刺し積層嵌着され、かつこれらがステンレス鋼製のカバーを介してヒーターで加熱される構造を有する化学蒸着装置を用い、超硬基体を前記超硬基体支持パレットの底面に形成された多数の反応ガス通過穴位置に図示される通りに載置した状態で前記化学蒸着装置に装入し、ヒータで装置内を、例えば800〜1100℃の範囲内の所定の温度に加熱した後、Al2O3層形成には、反応ガスとして、容量%で(以下、反応ガスの%は容量%を示す)、

からなる組成を有する反応ガスを用い、これらの反応ガスを予め真空排気された装置内に前記反応ガス吹き出し管を通して、装置内の反応ガス圧力を7〜40kPaの範囲内の所定の圧力に保持しながら、交互に導入することによりAl2O3−TiC交互積層からなる硬質被覆層を形成することにより製造されることも知られている(例えば特許文献1参照)。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
近年の切削加工装置の高性能化はめざましく、一方で切削加工に対する省力化および省エネ化、さらに低コスト化の要求は強く、これに伴い、切削加工は高速化の傾向を強め、かつ高切り込みや高送りなどの重切削条件での切削加工を余儀なくされる傾向にあるが、上記の従来被覆超硬工具においては、これを高い熱的機械的衝撃を伴う高切り込みや高送りなどの重切削を高速で行なうのに用いると、特にAl2O3−TiC交互積層からなる硬質被覆層のAl2O3層はすぐれた高温硬さおよび耐熱性を有するものの強度が不十分であるために、高速重切削ではこれが破壊の起点となることから、チッピング(微小割れ)発生の原因となり、また同じくTiC層は高強度を有するものの高温硬さおよび耐熱性の低いものであることから、高速重切削では摩耗進行が急速に促進されるようになり、この結果比較的短時間で使用寿命に至るのが現状である。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そこで、本発明者等は、上述のような観点から、特に高速重切削加工で硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐チッピング性および耐摩耗性を発揮する被覆超硬工具を開発すべく、研究を行った結果、
(a)上記の図1,2に示される化学蒸着装置を用いて、上記の従来被覆超硬工具の硬質被覆層の構成成分であるAl2O3とTiCの複合化合物、すなわちAlとTiの複合炭酸化物(以下、Al−Ti炭酸化物という)層を形成するに際して、例えば図3に反応ガス組成自動制御システムが概略チャート図で示される通り、反応ガス組成および流量中央制御装置に、前記Al−Ti炭酸化物層からなる硬質被覆層に層厚方向にそってAlおよび酸素の最高含有点とTiおよび炭素の最高含有点とを所定間隔をおいて交互に繰り返し形成させる目的で、前記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点並びにTiおよび炭素の最高含有点に対応した反応ガス組成、並びに前記両点間のAlと酸素およびTiと炭素の連続変化に対応した反応ガス組成、さらに前記両点間の間隔を、過去の実績データに基づいてインプットし、この反応ガス組成および流量中央制御装置からの制御信号にしたがって、原料ガスボンベからのH2ガス、CO2ガス、CH4ガス、およびHClガスの流量、さらにAlCl3ガスおよびTiCl4ガスの流量をそれぞれの原料ガス流量自動制御装置にて制御しながら、化学蒸着装置の反応ガス吹き出し管に導入すると、層厚方向にそって、Alおよび酸素の最高含有点とTiおよび炭素の最高含有点とが所定間隔をおいて交互に繰り返し存在し、かつ前記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点から前記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点、前記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点から前記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点へAlと酸素およびTiと炭素の含有量が連続的に変化する成分濃度分布構造をもつたAl−Ti炭酸化物層からなる硬質被覆層が形成されるようになること。
【0008】
(b)上記(a)の繰り返し連続変化成分濃度分布構造のAl−Ti炭酸化物層において、
上記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点におけるAlとTiおよび酸素と炭素の相互含有割合を示すAl/(Al+Ti)および酸素/(酸素+炭素)を、それぞれ原子比で、
Al/(Al+Ti):0.80〜0.98、
酸素/(酸素+炭素):0.80〜0.98、
上記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点におけるTiとAlおよび炭素と酸素の相互含有割合を示すTi/(Ti+Al)および炭素/(炭素+酸素)を、それぞれ原子比で、
Ti/(Ti+Al):0.80〜0.98、
炭素/(炭素+酸素):0.80〜0.98、
とし、かつ隣り合う上記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点と上記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点の厚さ方向の間隔を0.01〜0.2μmとすると、
上記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点部分では、Al2O3のもつ高温硬さと耐熱性に相当するすぐれた高温硬さと耐熱性を示し、一方上記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点部分では、TiCのもつ強度に相当する高強度が確保され、かつこれらAlおよび酸素の最高含有点と上記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点の間隔をきわめて小さくしたことから、層全体の特性としてすぐれた高温硬さと耐熱性、および高強度を具備するようになり、さらに前記両点間でAlと酸素およびTiと炭素の含有量が連続的に変化(成分濃度分布構造)することにより、破壊の起点が存在しないことになり、したがって、硬質被覆層がかかる構成のAl−Ti炭酸化物層からなる被覆超硬工具は、特に各種の鋼や鋳鉄などの切削加工を、高速で、かつ高い熱的機械的衝撃を伴う高切り込みや高送りなどの重切削条件で行なった場合にも、硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐チッピング性および耐摩耗性を発揮するようになること。
以上(a)および(b)に示される研究結果を得たのである。
【0009】
この発明は、上記の研究結果に基づいてなされたものであって、超硬基体の表面に、Al−Ti炭酸化物層からなる硬質被覆層を2〜20μmの全体平均層厚で蒸着してなる被覆超硬工具において、
上記硬質被覆層が、層厚方向にそって、Alおよび酸素の最高含有点とTiおよび炭素の最高含有点とが所定間隔をおいて交互に繰り返し存在し、かつ前記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点から前記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点、前記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点から前記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点へAlとTiおよび炭素と酸素の含有量が連続的に変化する成分濃度分布構造を有し、
さらに、上記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点におけるAlとTiおよび酸素と炭素の相互含有割合を示すAl/(Al+Ti)および酸素/(酸素+炭素)が、それぞれ原子比で、
Al/(Al+Ti):0.80〜0.98、
酸素/(酸素+炭素):0.80〜0.98、
上記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点におけるTiとAlおよび炭素と酸素の相互含有割合を示すTi/(Ti+Al)および炭素/(炭素+酸素)が、それぞれ原子比で、
Ti/(Ti+Al):0.80〜0.98、
炭素/(炭素+酸素):0.80〜0.98、
を満足し、かつ隣り合う上記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点と上記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点の間隔が、0.01〜0.2μmである、
高速重切削条件で硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐チッピング性および耐摩耗性を発揮する被覆超硬工具に特徴を有するものである。
【0010】
つぎに、この発明の被覆超硬工具において、これを構成する硬質被覆層の構成を上記の通りに限定した理由を説明する。
(a)Alおよび酸素の最高含有点
Al−Ti炭酸化物層のTiおよび炭素成分には強度を向上させ、同Alおよび酸素成分には高温硬さおよび耐熱性を向上させる作用があり、したがってAlおよび酸素の最高含有点ではAlおよび酸素の含有割合を相対的に高くして高温硬さおよび耐熱性を向上させることにより、高熱発生を伴う高速切削に適合するものとするが、この場合AlとTiおよび酸素と炭素の相互含有割合を示すAl/(Al+Ti)および酸素/(酸素+炭素)がいずれも原子比で(以下、同じ)0.98を越えると、実質的にAl酸化物で構成されるようになることから、高強度を有するTiと炭素の最高含有点が隣接して存在しても層自体の強度の低下は避けられず、この結果チッピングなどが発生し易くなり、一方同値が0.80未満になると高温硬さおよび耐熱性が急激に低下し、摩耗促進の原因となることから、Al/(Al+Ti)および酸素/(酸素+炭素)の値をいずれも0.80〜0.98と定めた。
【0011】
(b)Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点
上記の通りAlおよび酸素の最高含有点は相対的にすぐれた高温硬さおよび耐熱性を有するが、反面相対的に強度が不十分であるため、このAlおよび酸素の最高含有点の強度不足を補う目的で、高強度を有するTiおよび炭素の最高含有点を厚さ方向に交互に介在させるものである。しかし、TiとAlおよび炭素と酸素の相互含有割合を示すTi/(Ti+Al)および炭素/(炭素+酸素)が、それぞれ0.98を越えると、実質的にTi炭化物で構成されるようになることから、Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点に所定の高温硬さおよび耐熱性を確保することができず、これが摩耗促進の原因となり、一方同値が0.80未満になると、所望のすぐれた強度を確保することができず、この結果チッピングが発生し易くなることから、Ti/(Ti+Al)および炭素/(炭素+酸素)の値をいずれも0.80〜0.98と定めた。
【0012】
(c)Alおよび酸素の最高含有点とTiおよび炭素の最高含有点間の間隔
その間隔が0.01μm未満ではそれぞれの点を上記の組成で明確に形成することが困難であり、この結果層に所望のすぐれた高温硬さおよび耐熱性、さらに高強度を確保することができなくなり、またその間隔が0.2μmを越えるとそれぞれの点がもつ欠点、すなわちAlおよび酸素の最高含有点であれば強度不足、Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点であれば高温硬さおよび耐熱性不足が層内に局部的に現れ、これが原因でチッピングが発生し易くなったり、摩耗進行が促進されるようになることから、その間隔を0.01〜0.2μmと定めた。
【0013】
(d)硬質被覆層の全体平均層厚
その層厚が2μm未満では、所望の耐摩耗性を確保することができず、一方その平均層厚が20μmを越えると、チッピングが発生し易くなることから、その平均層厚を2〜20μmと定めた。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
つぎに、この発明の被覆超硬工具を実施例により具体的に説明する。
原料粉末として、いずれも1〜3μmの平均粒径を有するWC粉末、TiC粉末、VC粉末、TaC粉末、NbC粉末、Cr3 C2 粉末、およびCo粉末を用意し、これら原料粉末を、表1に示される配合組成に配合し、ボールミルで72時間湿式混合し、乾燥した後、100MPa の圧力で圧粉体にプレス成形し、この圧粉体を6Paの真空中、温度:1400℃に1時間保持の条件で焼結し、焼結後、切刃部分にR:0.03のホーニング加工を施してISO規格・CNMG160608のチップ形状をもったWC基超硬合金製の超硬基体A1〜A10を形成した。
【0015】
また、原料粉末として、いずれも0.5〜2μmの平均粒径を有するTiCN(重量比でTiC/TiN=50/50)粉末、Mo2 C粉末、ZrC粉末、NbC粉末、TaC粉末、WC粉末、Co粉末、およびNi粉末を用意し、これら原料粉末を、表2に示される配合組成に配合し、ボールミルで24時間湿式混合し、乾燥した後、100MPaの圧力で圧粉体にプレス成形し、この圧粉体を2kPaの炭素雰囲気中、温度:1500℃に1時間保持の条件で焼結し、焼結後、切刃部分にR:0.03のホーニング加工を施してISO規格・CNMG160612のチップ形状をもったTiCN系サーメット製の超硬基体B1〜B6を形成した。
【0016】
つぎに、上記の超硬基体A1〜A10およびB1〜B6のそれぞれを、アセトン中で超音波洗浄し、乾燥した後、図1に示される化学蒸着装置内に、第2図に示される超硬基体支持パレットの位置決め穴に載置した状態で装入し、まず、装置内をヒーターで900℃に加熱したところで、TiCl4:4.2%、N2:30%、H2:残りからなる組成を有する反応ガスを反応ガス吹き出し管を通して導入して、装置内の反応雰囲気圧力を30kPaとし、この状態で30分間保持して下地密着層として0.3μmの平均層厚をもった窒化チタン(TiN)層を形成し、ついで、同じく装置内の雰囲気温度をヒーターにて加熱して1020℃とした後、図3に示される反応ガス組成自動制御システムの反応ガス組成および流量中央制御装置に、過去の実績にデータにしたがって、表3に示されるAlおよび酸素の最高含有点の目標Al/(Al+Ti)および酸素/(酸素+炭素)、さらにTiおよび炭素の最高含有点の目標Ti/(Ti+Al)および炭素/(炭素+酸素)に対応する反応ガス組成、前記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点とTiおよび炭素の最高含有点間のAlとTiおよび酸素と炭素の含有量の連続変化に対応する反応ガス組成、さらに表4、5に示される前記両点間の目標間隔および硬質被覆層の目標全体層厚をインプットし、この反応ガス組成および流量中央制御装置からの信号にしたがって作動するコントロールバルブ内蔵の原料ガス流量自動制御装置を通して、原料ガスであるH2ガス、CH4ガス、CO2ガス、およびHClガス、さらにAlCl3ガスおよびTiCl4ガス(この場合、AlCl3ガスは、AlCl3ガス発生器で金属Alと流量制御されたHClガスを反応させることにより形成され、また、TiCl4ガスは、図示の通り流量制御されたH2ガスをキャリアガスとしてTiCl4ガス発生器に送り、ここで液体から気化されたTiCl4ガスと共に原料ガス流量自動制御装置に送られる)を、それぞれのガス流量を制御しながら、図1の化学蒸着装置の反応ガス吹き出し管から装置内に導入し(装置内の反応雰囲気圧力は常に7kPaに保持される)、もって前記超硬基体の表面に、層厚方向に沿って表3,4に示される目標Al/(Al+Ti)および酸素/(酸素+炭素)のAlおよび酸素の最高含有点と、目標Ti/(Ti+Al)および炭素/(炭素+酸素)のTiおよび炭素の最高含有点とが交互に同じく表3,4に示される目標間隔で繰り返し存在し、かつ前記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点から前記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点、前記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点から前記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点へAlとTiおよび酸素と炭素の含有量がそれぞれ連続的に変化する成分濃度分布構造を有し、かつ同じく表3,4に示される目標全体層厚の硬質被覆層を蒸着することにより、本発明被覆超硬工具としての本発明表面被覆超硬合金製スローアウエイチップ(以下、本発明被覆超硬チップと云う)1〜16をそれぞれ製造した。
【0017】
また、比較の目的で、これら超硬基体A1〜A10およびB1〜B6を、アセトン中で超音波洗浄し、乾燥した後、同じくそれぞれ図1,2に示される通常の化学蒸着装置に装入し、Al2O3層の形成条件を、

この結果得られた本発明被覆超硬チップ1〜16および従来被覆超硬チップ1〜16を構成する硬質被覆層について、厚さ方向に沿ってAl、Ti、酸素、および炭素の含有量をオージェ分光分析装置を用いて測定し、この測定結果から各測定点におけるAl/(Al+Ti)および酸素/(酸素+炭素)値、さらにTi/(Ti+Al)および炭素/(炭素+酸素)値を算出したところ、本発明被覆超硬チップ1〜16の硬質被覆層では、Alおよび酸素の最高含有点と、Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点とがそれぞれ目標値と実質的に同じ組成および間隔で交互に繰り返し存在し、かつAlおよび酸素の最高含有点からTiおよび炭素の最高含有点、前記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点からAlおよび酸素の最高含有点へAlとTiおよび酸素と炭素の含有量が連続的に変化する成分濃度分布構造を有することが確認され、硬質被覆層の平均層厚も目標全体層厚と実質的に同じ値を示した。また、従来被覆超硬チップ1〜16の硬質被覆層においても目標層厚と実質的に同じ平均層厚のAl2O3層とTiC層とが交互に、かつ目標全体層厚と実質的に同じ平均層厚で形成されていることが確認された。

【発明の効果】
表3〜7に示される結果から、硬質被覆層が層厚方向に、相対的にすぐれた高温硬さと耐熱性を有するAlおよび酸素の最高含有点と相対的に高強度を有するTiおよび炭素の最高含有点とが交互に所定間隔をおいて繰り返し存在し、かつ前記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点から前記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点、前記Tiおよび炭素の最高含有点から前記Alおよび酸素の最高含有点へAlとTiおよび酸素と炭素の含有量が連続的に変化する成分濃度分布構造を有する本発明被覆超硬チップ1〜16は、いずれも各種の鋼や鋳鉄などの切削加工を、高速で、かつ高い熱的機械的衝撃を伴う高切り込みや高送りなどの重切削条件で行なった場合にも、硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐チッピング性および耐摩耗性を発揮するのに対して、硬質被覆層がAl2O3層とTiC層の交互積層からなる従来被覆超硬チップ1〜16においては、前記硬質被覆層のAl2O3層が特に高速重切削条件ではチッピング発生の起点となり、また前記TiC層の摩耗進行が切削時の高熱発熱により促進されることから、比較的短時間で使用寿命に至ることが明らかである。
上述のように、この発明の被覆超硬工具は、通常の条件での切削加工は勿論のこと、特に各種の鋼や鋳鉄などの切削加工を、高速で、かつ高い熱的機械的衝撃を伴う高切り込みや高送りなどの重切削条件で行なった場合にも、すぐれた耐チッピング性と耐摩耗性を発揮し、長期に亘ってすぐれた切削性能を示すものであるから、切削加工の省力化および省エネ化、さらに低コスト化に十分満足に対応できるものである。

Then, after heating the inside of the apparatus with a heater to a predetermined temperature in the range of, for example, 800 to 1100 ° C., for forming an Al 2 O 3 layer, the reaction gas is used as a reaction gas by volume% (hereinafter,% of the reaction gas is Volume%),

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In recent years, the performance of cutting equipment has been remarkably improved, but on the other hand, there has been a strong demand for labor-saving and energy-saving cutting, as well as low cost. There is a tendency for cutting under heavy cutting conditions such as high feed, but in the above-mentioned conventional coated carbide tools, heavy cutting such as high cutting and high feed with high thermal mechanical impact is required. When used at high speeds, the Al 2 O 3 layer of the hard coating layer composed of the Al 2 O 3 —TiC alternately laminated layer has excellent high-temperature hardness and heat resistance, but has insufficient strength. In heavy cutting, this is the starting point of fracture, which causes chipping (micro cracking). Similarly, the TiC layer has high strength but low high-temperature hardness and low heat resistance. However, in high-speed heavy cutting, the progress of wear is rapidly accelerated, and as a result, the service life is relatively short in service life.

In view of the above, the present inventors have conducted research in order to develop a coated carbide tool in which a hard coating layer exhibits excellent chipping resistance and wear resistance particularly in high-speed heavy cutting. result,
(A) Using the chemical vapor deposition apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a composite compound of Al 2 O 3 and TiC, which is a component of the hard coating layer of the conventional coated carbide tool, that is, Al and Ti In forming a composite carbonate (hereinafter referred to as Al-Ti carbonate) layer, for example, as shown in a schematic chart of a reaction gas composition automatic control system in FIG. -For the purpose of repeatedly forming the highest content points of Al and oxygen and the highest content points of Ti and carbon alternately at predetermined intervals on the hard coating layer composed of the Ti carbonate layer in the layer thickness direction at predetermined intervals. A reaction gas composition corresponding to the highest content point of oxygen and the highest content point of Ti and carbon, and a reaction gas composition corresponding to a continuous change of Al and oxygen and Ti and carbon between the two points; Wherein the distance between two points, and inputs based on historical data, according to a control signal from the reaction gas composition and flow rates central controller, H 2 gas from the raw material gas cylinder, CO 2 gas, CH 4 gas , And the flow rates of the HCl gas, and the flow rates of the AlCl 3 gas and the TiCl 4 gas, while being controlled by the respective raw material gas flow rate automatic controllers, are introduced into the reaction gas blowing pipe of the chemical vapor deposition apparatus. , The highest content points of Al and oxygen and the highest content points of Ti and carbon are alternately and repeatedly present at a predetermined interval, and the highest content points of Ti and carbon from the highest content points of Al and oxygen; And the component concentration at which the contents of Al and oxygen and Ti and carbon continuously change from the highest content point of carbon to the highest content point of Al and oxygen A hard coating layer composed of an Al—Ti carbonate layer having a distribution structure is formed.
[0008]
(B) In the Al—Ti carbonate layer having the concentration distribution structure of the repeated continuous change component of (a),
Al / (Al + Ti) and oxygen / (oxygen + carbon), which indicate the mutual content of Al and Ti and oxygen and carbon at the highest content points of Al and oxygen, are represented by the following atomic ratios:
Al / (Al + Ti): 0.80 to 0.98,
Oxygen / (oxygen + carbon): 0.80 to 0.98,
Ti / (Ti + Al) and carbon / (carbon + oxygen), which indicate the mutual content of Ti and Al and carbon and oxygen at the highest content points of Ti and carbon, are represented by the following atomic ratios:

The highest Al and oxygen content points show excellent high temperature hardness and heat resistance corresponding to the high temperature hardness and heat resistance of Al 2 O 3 , while the highest Ti and carbon content points have TiC High strength equivalent to the strength was secured, and the interval between the highest content points of Al and oxygen and the highest content points of Ti and carbon was extremely small, so that the properties of the entire layer were excellent in high-temperature hardness and heat resistance, And high strength, and furthermore, the content of Al and oxygen and the content of Ti and carbon continuously change (component concentration distribution structure) between the two points, so that there is no origin of fracture. Therefore, a coated carbide tool made of an Al—Ti carbonate layer having such a structure as a hard coating layer is particularly suitable for cutting various kinds of steel and cast iron at high speed and high thermal mechanical impact. Also, it is like chipping resistance of the hard coating layer has excellent and exhibits abrasion resistance when made in heavy cutting conditions such as high cut and high feed with.
The research results shown in (a) and (b) above were obtained.
[0009]
The present invention has been made based on the above research results, and is obtained by vapor-depositing a hard coating layer made of an Al-Ti carbonate layer on the surface of a superhard substrate with a total average layer thickness of 2 to 20 μm. In coated carbide tools,
In the hard coating layer, the highest content points of Al and oxygen and the highest content points of Ti and carbon are alternately present at predetermined intervals along the layer thickness direction, and the highest content points of the Al and oxygen are present. Has a component concentration distribution structure in which the contents of Al, Ti, carbon and oxygen continuously change from the highest content point of Ti and carbon and the highest content point of Ti and carbon to the highest content point of Al and oxygen. And
Further, Al / (Al + Ti) and oxygen / (oxygen + carbon) indicating the mutual content ratio of Al and Ti and oxygen and carbon at the highest content points of Al and oxygen are represented by atomic ratios, respectively.
Al / (Al + Ti): 0.80 to 0.98,
Oxygen / (oxygen + carbon): 0.80 to 0.98,
Ti / (Ti + Al) and carbon / (carbon + oxygen), which indicate the mutual content of Ti and Al and carbon and oxygen at the highest content points of Ti and carbon, are represented by atomic ratios, respectively.
Ti / (Ti + Al): 0.80 to 0.98,
Carbon / (carbon + oxygen): 0.80 to 0.98,
And the interval between the adjacent highest content points of Al and oxygen and the highest content points of Ti and carbon is 0.01 to 0.2 μm,
The present invention is characterized by coated carbide tools in which a hard coating layer exhibits excellent chipping resistance and wear resistance under high-speed heavy cutting conditions.
[0010]
Next, the reason why the configuration of the hard coating layer constituting the coated carbide tool of the present invention is limited as described above will be described.
(A) The highest content point of Al and oxygen The Ti and carbon components of the Al-Ti carbonate layer improve the strength, and the Al and oxygen components have the effect of improving high-temperature hardness and heat resistance. At the highest content point of oxygen and by increasing the content ratio of Al and oxygen relatively to improve high-temperature hardness and heat resistance, it is suitable for high-speed cutting with high heat generation. When Al / (Al + Ti) and oxygen / (oxygen + carbon), which indicate the mutual content ratio of Ti and oxygen and carbon, both exceed 0.98 in atomic ratio (the same applies hereinafter), they are substantially composed of Al oxide. Therefore, even if the highest content points of Ti and carbon having high strength are present adjacent to each other, a decrease in the strength of the layer itself is inevitable, and as a result, chipping and the like are likely to occur. When the value is less than 0.80, the high-temperature hardness and heat resistance rapidly decrease and cause abrasion acceleration. Therefore, the values of Al / (Al + Ti) and oxygen / (oxygen + carbon) are both set to 0.80. 0.90.98.
[0011]
(B) Maximum content of Ti and carbon As described above, the maximum content of Al and oxygen has relatively excellent high-temperature hardness and heat resistance, but the strength is relatively insufficient. In order to compensate for the lack of strength at the highest content point of oxygen and oxygen, the highest content points of Ti and carbon having high strength are alternately interposed in the thickness direction. However, when Ti / (Ti + Al) and carbon / (carbon + oxygen), which indicate the mutual content ratio of Ti and Al and carbon and oxygen, respectively exceed 0.98, they become substantially composed of Ti carbide. Therefore, the predetermined high-temperature hardness and heat resistance cannot be secured at the highest content points of Ti and carbon, and this causes the acceleration of wear. On the other hand, when the value is less than 0.80, the desired excellent strength is obtained. Since it is not possible to secure them, and as a result chipping easily occurs, the values of Ti / (Ti + Al) and carbon / (carbon + oxygen) are both set to 0.80 to 0.98.
[0012]
(C) Spacing between the highest content points of Al and oxygen and the highest content points of Ti and carbon If the spacing is less than 0.01 μm, it is difficult to clearly form each point with the above composition, and as a result, the layer It is impossible to ensure the desired high-temperature hardness and heat resistance as well as high strength, and if the spacing exceeds 0.2 μm, the disadvantages of each point, that is, the highest content points of Al and oxygen. If the strength is insufficient, and if the content of Ti and carbon is the highest, high-temperature hardness and insufficient heat resistance locally appear in the layer, which may cause chipping or promote abrasion. For this reason, the interval is set to 0.01 to 0.2 μm.
[0013]
(D) If the average thickness of the hard coating layer is less than 2 μm, the desired wear resistance cannot be ensured. On the other hand, if the average thickness exceeds 20 μm, chipping is likely to occur. Therefore, the average layer thickness was determined to be 2 to 20 μm.
[0014]
