近年の切削加工装置のFA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、これに伴って切削加工は一段と高速化する傾向にあるが、上記の従来被覆工具においては、これを通常条件での切削加工に用いた場合には問題はないが、これを特に高い発熱を伴うとともに切刃に対する負荷が大きいTi基合金、Ni基合金、Co基合金等の耐熱合金の高速重切削に用いた場合には、硬質被覆層は切削時に発生する高熱によって過熱され、潤滑性が不足したり、また溶着を生じたりするために、チッピングの発生、摩耗進行により、比較的短時間で使用寿命に至るのが現状である。   In recent years, the use of FA for cutting devices has been remarkable. On the other hand, there has been a strong demand for labor saving and energy saving and further cost reduction for cutting processing, and along with this, cutting processing tends to be further accelerated. In a coated tool, there is no problem when this is used for cutting under normal conditions, but this is accompanied by a particularly high heat generation and a large load on the cutting blade, such as a Ti-based alloy, Ni-based alloy, Co-based alloy, etc. When used for high-speed heavy cutting of heat-resistant alloys, the hard coating layer is overheated by the high heat generated during cutting, resulting in insufficient lubricity and welding, resulting in chipping and increased wear. At present, the service life is reached in a relatively short time.

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、耐摩耗性を発揮する被覆工具を開発すべく、上記の従来被覆工具に着目し、研究を行った結果、
(イ)例えば図1(a)に概略平面図で、同(b)に概略正面図で示される構造の(Al,Cr,Si)N蒸着用アークイオンプレーティング(AIP)装置とCr−B蒸着用マグネトロンスパッタリング(SP)装置を併設した蒸着装置を用い、装置中央部に工具基体(例えば、超硬基体)装着用回転テーブルを設け、前記回転テーブルを挟んで、一方側に、所定組成のAl−Cr−Si合金からなるカソード電極(蒸発源)を備えた(Al,Cr,Si)N蒸着用アークイオンプレーティング装置、他方側に、CrB焼結体からなるターゲット(蒸発源)を備えたCr−B蒸着用マグネトロンスパッタリング装置を対向配設し、また工具基体装着用回転テーブル上に、これの中心軸から半径方向に所定距離離れた位置に複数の工具基体をリング状に装着し、この状態で装置内雰囲気を窒素雰囲気として、前記回転テーブルを回転させると共に、形成される硬質被覆層の層厚均一化を図る目的で工具基体自体も自転させながら、前記の(Al,Cr,Si)N蒸着用アークイオンプレーティング装置のAl−Cr−Si合金からなるカソード電極(蒸発源)とアノード電極との間にアーク放電を発生させ、それと同時に、対向配設したCr−B蒸着用マグネトロンスパッタリング装置のCrB焼結体からなるターゲット(蒸発源)にパルス電圧を印加しCrBをスパッタすると、アークイオンプレーティンとスパッタリングによってAlとCrとSiとBの窒化物層(以下、(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層で示す)が蒸着形成され、そして、上記窒化物層は、回転テーブル上に配置された工具基体が、上記一方側のAl−Cr−Si合金のカソード電極(蒸発源)に最も接近した位置で、相対的に、蒸着層中のAl、Siの含有割合が最大となって、Bの含有割合が最小となる領域(以下、Al−Si最高含有点という)が形成され、また、前記工具基体が、上記他方側のCrB焼結体ターゲット(蒸発源)に最も接近した位置で、相対的に、蒸着層中のBの含有割合が最大となって、Al、Siの含有割合が最小となる領域(以下、B最高含有点という)が形成され、上記回転テーブルの回転によって層中には層厚方向に沿って、前記Al−Si最高含有点とB最高含有点が回転テーブルの回転速度に応じた所定間隔をもって交互に繰り返し現れると共に、前記Al−Si最高含有点から前記B最高含有点、前記B最高含有点から前記Al−Si最高含有点へ、Al、Si、B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の蒸着層(以下、組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層という)が形成されること。
In view of the above, the present inventors have developed the above-mentioned conventional coated tool in order to develop a coated tool that exhibits excellent chipping resistance and wear resistance, particularly in high-speed heavy cutting, with a hard coating layer. As a result of conducting research with a focus on
(A) For example, an (Al, Cr, Si) N deposition arc ion plating (AIP) apparatus and a Cr-B structure having a structure shown in FIG. 1 (a) in a schematic plan view and in FIG. Using a vapor deposition apparatus provided with a magnetron sputtering (SP) apparatus for vapor deposition, a rotary table for mounting a tool substrate (for example, a carbide substrate) is provided at the center of the apparatus, and a predetermined composition is formed on one side of the rotary table. Arc ion plating apparatus for (Al, Cr, Si) N vapor deposition provided with a cathode electrode (evaporation source) made of an Al—Cr—Si alloy, and a target (evaporation source) made of a CrB 2 sintered body on the other side. A plurality of tool substrates are arranged on a rotary table for mounting a Cr-B vapor deposition, facing each other at a predetermined distance in the radial direction from the central axis thereof. In this state, the atmosphere inside the apparatus is changed to a nitrogen atmosphere, the rotary table is rotated, and the tool base itself is rotated for the purpose of uniformizing the thickness of the hard coating layer to be formed. Arc discharge is generated between the cathode electrode (evaporation source) and the anode electrode made of an Al—Cr—Si alloy of the (Al, Cr, Si) N deposition arc ion plating apparatus of the above, and at the same time, opposed to each other When CrB 2 is sputtered by applying a pulse voltage to a target (evaporation source) made of a CrB 2 sintered body of a magnetron sputtering apparatus for Cr-B deposition, nitriding of Al, Cr, Si, and B by arc ion plating and sputtering A material layer (hereinafter referred to as an (Al, Cr, Si, B) N layer) is formed by vapor deposition, and the nitride layer is formed on a rotating table. At the position where the tool base disposed above is closest to the cathode electrode (evaporation source) of the Al-Cr-Si alloy on one side, the content ratio of Al and Si in the deposited layer is relatively maximum. Thus, a region where the content ratio of B becomes the minimum (hereinafter referred to as the Al-Si highest content point) is formed, and the tool base is the most in the other CrB 2 sintered body target (evaporation source). A region where the content ratio of B in the vapor deposition layer is maximized and the content ratio of Al and Si is minimized (hereinafter referred to as the highest B content point) is formed at a close position. In the layer, the highest Al-Si content point and the highest B content point repeatedly appear at predetermined intervals according to the rotation speed of the rotary table, and the highest Al-Si content. From the above points, the B highest content point A vapor deposition layer having a component concentration distribution structure in which the content of Al, Si, and B continuously changes from the highest B content point to the highest Al-Si content point (hereinafter referred to as composition change (Al, Cr, Si, B). ) N layer) is formed.

(ロ)上記組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層からなる硬質被覆層において、そのAl成分は高温硬さ、耐熱性および耐酸化性を向上させ、同Cr成分は高温強度を向上させ、同Si成分は一段と耐熱性を向上させ、また、B成分は被削材との反応性を低下させると同時に潤滑性を高める作用があり、したがって相対的にAl,Siの含有割合が高いAl−Si最高含有点では、上記組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層からなる硬質被覆層はすぐれた高温硬さ、耐熱性、耐酸化性と所定の高温強度を有するが、その反面、被削材との反応性が高くまた潤滑性も不十分であるために、耐熱合金の高速切削条件下では溶着、チッピング、偏摩耗を生じやすいことから、上記組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層のAl−Si最高含有点における潤滑性、非反応性の不足を補う目的で、より一段と優れた高温強度とすぐれた潤滑性、非反応性を備えたB最高含有点を厚さ方向に交互に介在させることによって、上記組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層からなる硬質被覆層全体として、すぐれた高温硬さ、耐熱性、耐酸化性とともに、より一段と優れた高温強度とすぐれた潤滑性および非反応性を具備するようになり、その結果として、高速条件下で耐熱合金の切削加工を行ってもチッピング、溶着、偏摩耗等を生じることなくすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮するようになること。
以上(イ)、(ロ)に示される研究結果を得たのである。
(B) In the hard coating layer composed of the above composition change (Al, Cr, Si, B) N layer, the Al component improves high temperature hardness, heat resistance and oxidation resistance, and the Cr component improves high temperature strength. In addition, the Si component further improves the heat resistance, and the B component has the effect of lowering the reactivity with the work material and at the same time improving the lubricity, and therefore the content ratio of Al and Si is relatively high. At the highest Al-Si content point, the hard coating layer composed of the above composition change (Al, Cr, Si, B) N layer has excellent high temperature hardness, heat resistance, oxidation resistance and predetermined high temperature strength. On the other hand, since the reactivity with the work material is high and the lubricity is insufficient, the composition change (Al, Cr, Al, Si highest content point of Si, B) N layer In order to compensate for the lack of lubricity and non-reactivity, the above composition is obtained by alternately interposing the highest B content points with higher temperature strength and superior lubricity and non-reactivity in the thickness direction. Changed (Al, Cr, Si, B) As a whole hard coating layer composed of N layer, it has superior high temperature hardness, heat resistance, oxidation resistance, and further superior high temperature strength, excellent lubricity and non-reactivity. As a result, even if the heat-resistant alloy is machined under high-speed conditions, it exhibits excellent wear resistance without causing chipping, welding, uneven wear, or the like.
The research results shown in (a) and (b) above were obtained.

This invention was made based on the above research results,
A vapor deposition apparatus in which a tungsten carbide-based cemented carbide or titanium carbonitride-based cermet is provided with an Al—Cr—Si alloy as a cathode electrode on one side and a target CrB 2 sintered material on the other side. The tool base is placed on a rotary table, and the tool base is rotated on the rotary table while arc ion plating on the Al—Cr—Si alloy cathode electrode side and sputtering on the CrB 2 sintered material target side. In a surface-coated cutting tool in which a hard coating layer composed of a nitride layer of Al, Cr, Si, and B is formed on the surface by vapor deposition,
(A) The hard coating layer has an average layer thickness of 1 to 8 μm, and the Al—Si highest content point formed in the vicinity of the Al—Cr—Si alloy cathode electrode along the thickness direction of the hard coating layer. And the B highest content point formed in the vicinity of the CrB 2 sintered material target are alternately present at intervals of 0.005 to 0.1 μm,

It is characterized by a coated tool (surface coated cutting tool) that exhibits excellent chipping resistance and wear resistance in a high-speed heavy cutting of a heat-resistant alloy with a hard coating layer.

つぎに、この発明の被覆工具の硬質被覆層を構成する組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層に関し、上記の通りに数値限定した理由を説明する。   Next, the reason why the numerical values of the composition change (Al, Cr, Si, B) N layer constituting the hard coating layer of the coated tool of the present invention are limited as described above will be described.

(a)Al−Si最高含有点のAl、Si含有割合
組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層におけるAlは、高温硬さ、耐熱性および耐酸化性を向上させ、同Cr成分は高温強度を向上させ、同Si成分は一段と耐熱性を向上させ、また、B成分は被削材との反応性を低下させると同時に潤滑性を高める作用がある。したがって相対的にAl,Si成分の含有割合が高いAl−Si最高含有点ではすぐれた高温硬さ、耐熱性、耐酸化性を備えるが、Alの含有割合(X値)が0.4未満の場合には、硬質被覆層として最小限要求される高温硬さ、耐熱性、耐酸化性を維持することはできず、また、Siの含有割合(Q値)が0.05未満の場合には、硬質被覆層の耐熱性のより一段の向上を期待できない。一方、Alの含有割合(X値)が0.65を超えたり、Siの含有割合(Q値)が0.15を越えたりしたような場合には、Crの含有割合(Y値)およびBの含有割合(R値)が少なくなりすぎて、硬質被覆層のすぐれた高温強度を維持することが困難になるばかりか、反応性の低減および潤滑性の向上を図ることができなくなることから、Alの含有割合(X値)を0.4〜0.65、Siの含有割合(Q値)を0.05〜0.15(いずれも、原子比)とそれぞれ定めた。
なお、組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層におけるCr成分は、アークイオンプレーティングとスパッタリングの双方で供給されるため、アークイオンプレーティングのカソード電極組成あるいはスパッタリング条件等によって影響を受けるものの、他の成分Al,Si,Bに比較すれば、層の厚み方向で含有割合の変化は少なく、しかも、Crは高温強度を向上させる成分であることから、組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層はその厚み方向全体にわたり、すぐれた高温強度を備えたものとなり、その結果として、耐チッピング性が非常に優れたものとなるが、Al−Si最高含有点におけるCr成分の含有割合(Y値)は、高温硬さ、耐熱性、耐酸化性を損なわずに所定の高温強度を保持するという点から、0.3≦Y≦0.50の範囲であることが必要であり、さらに、Al−Si最高含有点におけるB成分の含有割合(R値)は、耐熱合金の高速切削で要求される非反応性、潤滑性を保持するためには、0.05≦R≦0.20の範囲である必要があり、しかも、X、Y、Q、Rは、X+Y+Q+R=1を満たす数値である。
(A) Al in the Al-Si highest content point, Si content ratio Composition change (Al, Cr, Si, B) Al in the N layer improves high temperature hardness, heat resistance and oxidation resistance, and the Cr component is The high temperature strength is improved, the Si component further improves the heat resistance, and the B component has the effect of reducing the reactivity with the work material and at the same time improving the lubricity. Therefore, the Al-Si highest content point where the content ratio of Al and Si components is relatively high has excellent high temperature hardness, heat resistance and oxidation resistance, but the Al content ratio (X value) is less than 0.4. In such a case, the minimum required high-temperature hardness, heat resistance, and oxidation resistance for the hard coating layer cannot be maintained, and if the Si content ratio (Q value) is less than 0.05, Further improvement of the heat resistance of the hard coating layer cannot be expected. On the other hand, when the Al content ratio (X value) exceeds 0.65 or the Si content ratio (Q value) exceeds 0.15, the Cr content ratio (Y value) and B From the fact that the content ratio (R value) becomes too small, it becomes difficult to maintain the excellent high-temperature strength of the hard coating layer, and it becomes impossible to reduce the reactivity and improve the lubricity. The Al content ratio (X value) was determined to be 0.4 to 0.65, and the Si content ratio (Q value) was determined to be 0.05 to 0.15 (both atomic ratios).
Since the Cr component in the composition change (Al, Cr, Si, B) N layer is supplied by both arc ion plating and sputtering, it is affected by the cathode electrode composition of the arc ion plating or sputtering conditions. However, compared with other components Al, Si, B, the change in the content ratio in the thickness direction of the layer is small, and since Cr is a component that improves the high-temperature strength, the composition change (Al, Cr, Si , B) The N layer has excellent high-temperature strength throughout its thickness direction, and as a result, the chipping resistance is very excellent, but the content of Cr component at the Al-Si highest content point The ratio (Y value) is 0.3 ≦ Y ≦ 0.5 from the viewpoint of maintaining a predetermined high temperature strength without impairing the high temperature hardness, heat resistance, and oxidation resistance. In addition, the content ratio (R value) of the B component at the Al-Si highest content point is in order to maintain the non-reactivity and lubricity required for high-speed cutting of heat-resistant alloys. Needs to be in the range of 0.05 ≦ R ≦ 0.20, and X, Y, Q, and R are numerical values satisfying X + Y + Q + R = 1.

(b)B最高含有点のB含有割合
硬質被覆層のB最高含有点において、組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層は一段と優れた高温強度とすぐれた非反応性、潤滑性を備えるが、硬質被覆層は、耐熱合金の高速切削に耐えられるに足る最低限の高温硬さ、耐熱性、耐酸化性、高温強度を備える必要があることから、B最高含有点におけるCr含有割合(Y値)およびB含有割合(R値)を、Al,Cr,Si,Bの合量に占める割合(原子比)で、それぞれ、0.25〜0.4、0.40〜0.55と定めた。
つまり、Cr含有割合(Y値)およびB含有割合(R値)が、それぞれ0.4および0.55を超えると、(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層中のCr含有割合、B含有割合が増大する反面、Al、Si成分の含有量が減少し、その結果、高温硬さ、耐熱性、耐酸化性が不十分となり、耐摩耗性が低下し、一方、Cr含有割合(Y値)、B含有割合(R値)が、それぞれ0.25未満および0.40未満になると、(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層中のBの含有割合が少なくなり過ぎ、反応性の低減作用および潤滑性改善効果が期待できなくなり、また、Cr含有割合の減少により高温強度の向上も望めなくなることから、B最高含有点におけるCrの含有割合(Y値)およびBの含有割合(R値)を、それぞれ、0.25〜0.4、0.40〜0.55(いずれも、原子比)に定めた。
なお、B最高含有点におけるAl成分の含有割合(X値)、Si成分の含有割合(Q値)は、耐熱合金の高速切削で最低限必要とされる高温硬さ、耐熱性、耐酸化性および高温強度の点から、0.15≦X≦0.35、0.01≦Q≦0.03の範囲であることが必要であり、かつ、X、Y、Q、Rは、X+Y+Q+R=1を満たす数値である。
(B) B content ratio of the highest B content point At the highest B content point of the hard coating layer, the composition change (Al, Cr, Si, B) N layer has much higher temperature strength and superior non-reactivity and lubricity. The hard coating layer must have the minimum high-temperature hardness, heat resistance, oxidation resistance, and high-temperature strength sufficient to withstand high-speed cutting of heat-resistant alloys. (Y value) and B content ratio (R value) are ratios (atomic ratio) to the total amount of Al, Cr, Si, B, and are 0.25 to 0.4 and 0.40 to 0.55, respectively. It was determined.
That is, when the Cr content ratio (Y value) and the B content ratio (R value) exceed 0.4 and 0.55, respectively, the Cr content ratio in the (Al, Cr, Si, B) N layer, B content While the proportion increases, the content of Al and Si components decreases, and as a result, the high temperature hardness, heat resistance and oxidation resistance become insufficient, and the wear resistance decreases, while the Cr content ratio (Y value) ), When the B content (R value) is less than 0.25 and less than 0.40, respectively, the B content in the (Al, Cr, Si, B) N layer becomes too small, and the reactivity is reduced. The effect of improving the action and lubricity cannot be expected, and the improvement in high-temperature strength cannot be expected due to the decrease in the Cr content. Therefore, the Cr content (Y value) and the B content (R value) at the highest B content point ), 0.25 to 0.4, 0.40 to 0, respectively. (All atomic ratio) 55 was defined.
Note that the Al component content (X value) and Si component content (Q value) at the highest B content point are the minimum high-temperature hardness, heat resistance, and oxidation resistance required for high-speed cutting of heat-resistant alloys. From the viewpoint of high-temperature strength, it is necessary that the ranges are 0.15 ≦ X ≦ 0.35 and 0.01 ≦ Q ≦ 0.03, and X, Y, Q, and R are X + Y + Q + R = 1. It is a numerical value satisfying.

(c)Al−Si最高含有点とB最高含有点間の間隔
この発明の硬質被覆層は、その層厚方向に亘って、窒化物を構成する成分の濃度が、Al−Si最高含有点からB最高含有点へと、また、B最高含有点からAl−Si最高含有点へと連続的に変化するものであるため、例えば、成分濃度が急激に不連続な変化をする複数層の積層構造からなる硬質被覆層に比べると、複数層間での剥離等の恐れは無く硬質被覆層自体の密着強度・接合強度は非常にすぐれたものである。しかし、Al−Si最高含有点とB最高含有点間の間隔が0.005μm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、この結果それぞれの層に所望の高温硬さ、高温強度、耐熱性、耐酸化性、非反応性および潤滑性を確保することができなくなり、またその間隔が0.1μmを越えるとそれぞれの点がもつ欠点、すなわちB最高含有点であれば高温硬さ、高温強度、耐酸化性および耐熱性の不足、また、Al−Si最高含有点であれば非反応性および潤滑性の不足が層内に局部的に現れ、これが原因で摩耗進行が促進されるようになることから、その間隔を0.005〜0.1μmと定めた。
なお、Al−Si最高含有点とB最高含有点間の間隔は、(Al,Cr,Si)N蒸着用アークイオンプレーティング(AIP)装置とCr−B蒸着用マグネトロンスパッタリング(SP)装置を併設した蒸着装置を用い、アークイオンプレーティングとスパッタリングを同時に行って蒸着膜を形成する際に、例えば、工具基体を装着した回転テーブルの回転速度を制御することによって調整することができるので、回転テーブルの回転速度を適宜に設定することにより、Al−Si最高含有点とB最高含有点間の間隔が上記数値範囲内の所望の値となる組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層を容易に形成することができる。
(C) Spacing between Al-Si highest content point and B highest content point In the hard coating layer of this invention, the concentration of the component constituting the nitride is from the Al-Si highest content point over the layer thickness direction. Since it changes continuously from the highest B content point and from the highest B content point to the Al-Si highest content point, for example, a multilayer structure in which the component concentration changes rapidly and discontinuously Compared with the hard coating layer made of, there is no fear of delamination between a plurality of layers, and the adhesion strength and bonding strength of the hard coating layer itself are very excellent. However, if the distance between the Al—Si highest content point and the B highest content point is less than 0.005 μm, it is difficult to clearly form each point with the above composition. As a result, each layer has a desired high-temperature hardness. In addition, high temperature strength, heat resistance, oxidation resistance, non-reactivity and lubricity cannot be secured, and if the interval exceeds 0.1 μm, each point has a defect, that is, the highest B content point. Insufficient high-temperature hardness, high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance and heat resistance, and, if the Al-Si highest content point, non-reactivity and lack of lubricity appear locally in the layer, which causes wear progress Therefore, the interval was determined to be 0.005 to 0.1 μm.
The interval between the Al-Si highest content point and the B highest content point is provided with an (Al, Cr, Si) N deposition arc ion plating (AIP) device and a Cr-B deposition magnetron sputtering (SP) device. When forming a vapor deposition film by performing arc ion plating and sputtering at the same time using, for example, the rotation table can be adjusted by controlling the rotation speed of the rotation table mounted with the tool base. The composition change (Al, Cr, Si, B) N layer in which the interval between the Al-Si highest content point and the B highest content point becomes a desired value within the above numerical range is set by appropriately setting the rotation speed of It can be formed easily.

(d)平均層厚
その平均層厚が1μm未満では、硬質被覆層が所望の高温硬さ、高温強度、耐熱性、耐酸化性、非反応性および潤滑性を長期に亘って確保することができず、その結果、耐熱合金の高速重切削における耐摩耗性の向上を期待することができず、一方、その平均層厚が8μmを越えると、切刃にチッピングが発生し易くなることから、その平均層厚を1〜8μmと定めた。
(D) Average layer thickness If the average layer thickness is less than 1 μm, the hard coating layer can ensure the desired high temperature hardness, high temperature strength, heat resistance, oxidation resistance, non-reactivity and lubricity over a long period of time. As a result, improvement in wear resistance in high-speed heavy cutting of a heat-resistant alloy cannot be expected. On the other hand, if the average layer thickness exceeds 8 μm, chipping tends to occur on the cutting edge. The average layer thickness was set to 1 to 8 μm.

この発明の被覆工具は、硬質被覆層を構成する組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層が、全体として、すぐれた高温硬さ、高温強度、耐熱性、耐酸化性を有するとともに、さらに、すぐれた非反応性と潤滑性をも具備することから、Ti基合金、Ni基合金、Co基合金等の耐熱合金を、特に大きな発熱を伴うとともに切刃に対する大きな負荷がかかる高速重切削条件で加工した場合であっても、すぐれた耐チッピング性を示すとともに、溶着・偏摩耗等を生じることなく長期に亘ってすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮するものである。   In the coated tool of the present invention, the composition change (Al, Cr, Si, B) N layer constituting the hard coating layer as a whole has excellent high temperature hardness, high temperature strength, heat resistance, and oxidation resistance. Furthermore, because it also has excellent non-reactivity and lubricity, heat-resistant alloys such as Ti-base alloys, Ni-base alloys, Co-base alloys, etc., are particularly high-speed heavy cuttings that generate large heat and place a heavy load on the cutting blade. Even when processed under the conditions, it exhibits excellent chipping resistance and exhibits excellent wear resistance over a long period of time without causing welding or uneven wear.

The composition of the layers was measured by energy dispersive X-ray analysis using a transmission electron microscope, and each showed substantially the same composition as the target composition.

また、上記の硬質被覆層の平均層厚を走査型電子顕微鏡を用いて断面測定したところ、いずれも目標層厚と実質的に同じ平均値(5ヶ所の平均値)を示した。   Moreover, when the average layer thickness of said hard coating layer was cross-sectional measured using the scanning electron microscope, all showed the average value (average value of five places) substantially the same as target layer thickness.

表7、9〜12に示される結果から、本発明被覆工具は、Ti基合金、Ni基合金、Co基合金等の耐熱合金の高熱発生を伴いかつ負荷の大きな高速条件下での重切削加工に用いた場合であっても、硬質被覆層を構成する組成変化(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層が、全体として、すぐれた高温硬さ、高温強度、耐熱性、耐酸化性、さらに、すぐれた非反応性と潤滑性を備えていることによって、溶着、偏摩耗の発生がなく、長期に亘ってすぐれた耐チッピング性とすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮するのに対して、硬質被覆層が組成的に均一な(Al,Cr,Si,B)N層で構成された従来被覆工具においては、高速重切削加工で発生する高熱と切刃に加わる高負荷により、溶着・偏摩耗やチッピングが発生し、これが原因で比較的短時間で使用寿命に至ることが明らかである。   From the results shown in Tables 7 and 9-12, the coated tool of the present invention is a heavy cutting under high-speed conditions accompanied by high heat generation of a heat-resistant alloy such as a Ti-base alloy, Ni-base alloy, and Co-base alloy and a large load. Even if it is used for the composition change (Al, Cr, Si, B) N layer constituting the hard coating layer as a whole, excellent high temperature hardness, high temperature strength, heat resistance, oxidation resistance, Because it has excellent non-reactivity and lubricity, there is no occurrence of welding and uneven wear, and it exhibits excellent chipping resistance and excellent wear resistance over a long period of time. In a conventional coated tool in which the layer is composed of a compositionally uniform (Al, Cr, Si, B) N layer, welding / partial wear or the like due to high heat generated by high-speed heavy cutting and high load applied to the cutting edge. Chipping occurs, which causes a relatively short service life It is clear that lead to.

Even when it is used for cutting, it exhibits excellent chipping resistance and wear resistance over a long period of time and exhibits excellent cutting performance.
