JP 2004-50381A Japanese Patent No. 3669700 JP 2006-524748 A

近年の切削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、切削加工は一段と高速化の傾向にあるが、上記の従来被覆工具においては、これを鋼や鋳鉄などの通常の条件での切削加工に用いた場合には問題はないが、特にこれを切削条件の厳しい重切削加工に用いた場合は、硬質被覆層を構成する(Al,Cr)N層の高温強度が不十分なため、刃先の境界部分に異常損傷(以下、境界異常損傷という)を生じ、欠損を発生しやすいため、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 performance of cutting machines has been remarkable. On the other hand, there is a strong demand for labor saving, energy saving, and cost reduction for cutting, and along with this, cutting has been on the trend of higher speed. For coated tools, there is no problem when this is used for cutting under normal conditions such as steel or cast iron, but when this is used for heavy cutting with severe cutting conditions, a hard coating layer is required. The high-temperature strength of the (Al, Cr) N layer is insufficient, causing abnormal damage (hereinafter referred to as boundary abnormal damage) to the boundary part of the cutting edge, which tends to cause chipping. Is the current situation.

そこで、本発明者等は、上述のような観点から、上記被覆工具の耐欠損性の向上を図るべく、これの硬質被覆層である(Al,Cr)N層、すなわち図2に模式図で示される通り、格子点にAl、Crおよび窒素からなる構成原子がそれぞれ存在するNaCl型面心立方晶の結晶構造を有する(Al,Cr)N層に着目し、鋭意研究を行った結果、
(a)従来被覆工具の硬質被覆層を構成する従来(Al,Cr)N層は、例えば、図1に示される通常の物理蒸着装置の1種であるアークイオンプレーティング装置に工具基体を装入し、ヒータで装置内を例えば300〜500℃に加熱した状態で、所定組成のAl−Cr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例えば60〜100Aのアーク放電電流を発生させ、同時に装置内に反応ガスとして窒素ガスを導入して、例えば1〜6Paの反応雰囲気とし、一方工具基体には例えばバイアス電源から−20〜−100Vの直流バイアス電圧を印加するという条件下で成膜される(以下、通常成膜条件という)が、
その蒸着条件を変更し、例えば、ヒータで装置内を850℃に加熱して成膜温度を高くし、さらに、工具基体にバイアス電源からバイポーラパルスバイアスを印加してアークイオンプレーティングを行う(以下、改質成膜条件という)と、この条件で蒸着形成された(Al,Cr)N層(以下、改質(Al,Cr)N層という)は、通常成膜条件で形成された(Al,Cr)N層に比べ、結晶粒の粒界強度が強化され、その結果、硬質被覆層の高温強度が一段と向上するため、切刃に対して大きな機械的負荷がかかる重切削加工であっても、前記硬質被覆層はすぐれた耐欠損性を発揮し、長期にわたってすぐれた耐摩耗性を示すこと。
In view of the above, the present inventors, from the above viewpoint, in order to improve the fracture resistance of the coated tool, the hard coating layer (Al, Cr) N layer, that is, a schematic diagram in FIG. As shown, as a result of conducting extensive research, focusing on the (Al, Cr) N layer having a NaCl-type face-centered cubic crystal structure in which constituent atoms composed of Al, Cr, and nitrogen are present at lattice points,
(A) The conventional (Al, Cr) N layer constituting the hard coating layer of the conventional coated tool is, for example, a tool base mounted on an arc ion plating apparatus which is one type of the normal physical vapor deposition apparatus shown in FIG. An arc discharge current of, for example, 60 to 100 A is applied between a cathode electrode (evaporation source) made of an Al—Cr alloy having a predetermined composition and an anode electrode while the inside of the apparatus is heated to, for example, 300 to 500 ° C. with a heater. At the same time, nitrogen gas is introduced into the apparatus as a reaction gas to form a reaction atmosphere of 1 to 6 Pa, for example, while a DC bias voltage of −20 to −100 V is applied to the tool base from a bias power source, for example. (Hereinafter referred to as normal film formation conditions)
The deposition conditions are changed, for example, the inside of the apparatus is heated to 850 ° C. with a heater to increase the film forming temperature, and further, a bipolar pulse bias is applied to the tool base from a bias power source to perform arc ion plating (hereinafter referred to as “arc ion plating”). And the (Al, Cr) N layer (hereinafter referred to as the modified (Al, Cr) N layer) formed by vapor deposition under these conditions are formed under the normal film formation conditions (Al , Cr) N grain layer strength is strengthened compared to the N layer, and as a result, the high temperature strength of the hard coating layer is further improved. However, the hard coating layer exhibits excellent fracture resistance and exhibits excellent wear resistance over a long period of time.

In this case, the crystal grains have a NaCl-type face-centered cubic crystal structure in which constituent atoms composed of Al, Cr, and nitrogen are present at lattice points as described above. And, based on the measured tilt angle obtained as a result, at the interface between adjacent crystal grains, each of the constituent atoms shares one constituent atom between the crystal grains (constituent atom sharing). (Lattice point) distribution is calculated, and there are N lattice points (N is an even number of 2 or more in the crystal structure of the NaCl-type face-centered cubic crystal) between the constituent atom shared lattice points. The atomic shared lattice point form is represented by ΣN + 1, and each ΣN When a constitutive atomic shared lattice distribution graph showing the distribution ratio of +1 in the entire ΣN + 1 (however, the upper limit value of N is 28 due to the frequency) is created, the highest peak exists in Σ3 in any TiAlN layer However, the conventional (Al, Cr) N layer, as illustrated in FIG. 6, shows a relatively low constituent atom shared lattice point distribution graph in which the distribution ratio of Σ3 is 30% or less. The quality (Al, Cr) N layer, as illustrated in FIG. 5, shows a very high constituent atom shared lattice point distribution graph in which the distribution ratio of Σ3 is 50% or more.

(d)上記の改質(Al,Cr)N層は、従来(Al,Cr)N層自体が具備する高温硬さと高温強度に加えて、上記従来(Al,Cr)N層に比して一段と高い高温強度を有するので、これを硬質被覆層として蒸着形成してなる被覆工具は、切刃に対して特に大きな機械的負荷がかかる重切削加工に用いた場合にも、前記従来(Al,Cr)N層を蒸着形成してなる被覆工具に比して、硬質被覆層が一段とすぐれた耐欠損性を発揮するようになること。

Since it has a much higher high-temperature strength, the coated tool formed by vapor deposition as a hard coating layer can be used even in heavy cutting where a particularly large mechanical load is applied to the cutting edge (Al, Compared to a coated tool formed by vapor-depositing a Cr) N layer, the hard coating layer will exhibit even better fracture resistance.

"
It has the characteristics.

まず、この発明の改質(Al,Cr)N層について、詳細に説明する。
(a)組成式(Al1−XCr)N
組成式(Al1−XCr)Nで表される成分組成の硬質被覆層におけるCr成分は高温強度の維持、Al成分は高温硬さと耐熱性の向上に寄与することから、硬質被覆層は、所定の高温強度、高温硬さおよび耐熱性を具備する層であるが、Crの含有割合Xが30原子%未満であると、硬質被覆層の高温硬さと耐熱性は向上するものの、Cr含有割合の相対的な減少によって、高温強度が低下し欠損を発生しやすくなり、一方、Crの含有割合Xが60原子%を超えると、高温硬さと耐熱性が低下し、その結果、耐摩耗性の低下がみられるようになることから、Crの含有割合Xの値を0.3〜0.6と定めた。
First, the modified (Al, Cr) N layer of the present invention will be described in detail.
(A) the composition formula (Al 1-X Cr X) N
Since the Cr component in the hard coating layer of the component composition represented by the composition formula (Al 1-X Cr X ) N contributes to maintaining high-temperature strength, and the Al component contributes to improvement in high-temperature hardness and heat resistance, the hard coating layer is Although the layer has a predetermined high-temperature strength, high-temperature hardness, and heat resistance, if the Cr content ratio X is less than 30 atomic%, the high-temperature hardness and heat resistance of the hard coating layer are improved, but the Cr content Due to the relative decrease in the ratio, the high-temperature strength is reduced and defects are likely to occur. On the other hand, when the Cr content ratio X exceeds 60 atomic%, the high-temperature hardness and heat resistance decrease, resulting in wear resistance. Therefore, the Cr content ratio X was determined to be 0.3 to 0.6.

(b)結晶面の配向割合
上記の改質(Al,Cr)N層について、電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡を用い、表面研磨面の測定範囲内に存在する立方晶結晶格子を有する結晶粒個々に電子線を照射して、前記表面研磨面の法線に対して、前記結晶粒の結晶面である{100}面の法線がなす傾斜角を測定し、前記測定傾斜角のうち、0〜45度の範囲内にある測定傾斜角を0.25度のピッチ毎に区分すると共に、各区分内に存在する度数を集計してなる傾斜角度数分布グラフを作成したところ、図3に示すように、30〜40度の範囲内の傾斜角区分に最高ピークが存在し、しかも、30〜40度の範囲内に存在する度数の合計が、傾斜角度数分布グラフにおける度数全体の60%以上の割合を占める傾斜角度数分布グラフを示すことから、改質(Al,Cr)N層は、表面研磨面の法線方向に対して{112}面が強配向していることがわかり、このような結晶配向性によって、通常成膜条件で形成した従来(Al,Cr)N層に比して、結晶粒の粒界強度が一段と向上し、その結果、硬質被覆層として改質(Al,Cr)N層を備えた被覆工具は、重切削加工条件下でも耐欠損性が一段と向上する。
(B) Orientation ratio of crystal plane For the above modified (Al, Cr) N layer, using a field emission scanning electron microscope, each crystal grain having a cubic crystal lattice existing within the measurement range of the surface polished surface Irradiate an electron beam to measure the tilt angle formed by the normal of the {100} plane, which is the crystal plane of the crystal grain, with respect to the normal of the surface polished surface. As shown in FIG. 3, a tilt angle distribution graph was created by dividing the measured tilt angle within the range of 45 degrees into pitches of 0.25 degrees and totaling the frequencies existing in each section. In addition, the highest peak is present in the inclination angle section within the range of 30 to 40 degrees, and the sum of the frequencies existing within the range of 30 to 40 degrees is 60% or more of the entire degrees in the inclination angle frequency distribution graph. Since the distribution graph of the number of inclination angles occupying the ratio is shown, In the (Al, Cr) N layer, it can be seen that the {112} plane is strongly oriented with respect to the normal direction of the surface-polished surface. Compared with the Al, Cr) N layer, the grain boundary strength of the crystal grains is further improved. As a result, the coated tool provided with the modified (Al, Cr) N layer as a hard coating layer is subjected to heavy cutting conditions. However, the fracture resistance is further improved.

(c)Σ3の分布割合
さらに、上記の改質(Al,Cr)N層について、同じく、電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡を用い、表面研磨面の測定範囲内に存在する結晶粒個々に電子線を照射して、前記表面研磨面の法線に対して、前記結晶粒の結晶面である{112}面の法線がなす傾斜角を測定し、この場合前記結晶粒は、上記の通り格子点にAl、Cr、窒素からなる構成原子がそれぞれ存在するNaCl型面心立方晶の結晶構造を有し、この結果得られた測定傾斜角に基づいて、相互に隣接する結晶粒の界面で、前記構成原子のそれぞれが前記結晶粒相互間で1つの構成原子を共有する格子点(構成原子共有格子点)の分布を算出し、前記構成原子共有格子点間に構成原子を共有しない格子点がN個(NはNaCl型面心立方晶の結晶構造上2以上の偶数となる)存在する構成原子共有格子点形態をΣN+1で表し、個々のΣN+1がΣN+1全体(ただし、頻度の関係でNの上限値を28とする)に占める分布割合を示す構成原子共有格子点分布グラフを作成したところ、前記改質(Al,Cr)N層は、図5に例示される通り、Σ3に最高ピークが存在するとともに、Σ3の分布割合が50%以上のきわめて高い構成原子共有格子点分布グラフを示すことから、この点からも、改質(Al,Cr)N層は、結晶粒の粒界強度が一段と向上し、その結果、耐欠損性が一段と向上していることがわかる。
なお、図6に例示される通り、従来(Al,Cr)N層もΣ3に最高ピークが存在するものの、Σ3の分布割合は30%以下に過ぎず、改質(Al,Cr)N層に比べ、相対的に低い構成原子共有格子点分布グラフを示している。
以上のとおり、改質(Al,Cr)N層は、{112}面の配向性が高く、また、Σ3の分布割合も高いため、従来(Al,Cr)N層のもつ高温硬さと高温強度と耐熱性に加えて、さらに一段とすぐれた高温強度を有するようになる。
(C) Distribution ratio of Σ3 Further, for the modified (Al, Cr) N layer, similarly, using a field emission scanning electron microscope, an electron beam is applied to each crystal grain existing within the measurement range of the surface polished surface. Irradiation is performed to measure the inclination angle formed by the normal of the {112} plane, which is the crystal plane of the crystal grain, with respect to the normal of the surface-polished surface. Have a NaCl type face centered cubic crystal structure in which constituent atoms composed of Al, Cr, and nitrogen respectively exist, and based on the measured tilt angle obtained as a result, at the interface between adjacent crystal grains, A distribution of lattice points (constituent atom shared lattice points) in which each constituent atom shares one constituent atom among the crystal grains is calculated, and there are N lattice points that do not share constituent atoms between the constituent atom shared lattice points. (N is 2 on the crystal structure of NaCl type face centered cubic crystal) The constituent atomic shared lattice point form existing (which is an even number above) is represented by ΣN + 1, and each ΣN + 1 represents the distribution ratio of the entire ΣN + 1 (provided that the upper limit of N is 28 due to frequency). When a lattice point distribution graph is created, the modified (Al, Cr) N layer has a very high configuration in which the highest peak exists in Σ3 and the distribution ratio of Σ3 is 50% or more as illustrated in FIG. Since the atomic shared lattice point distribution graph is shown, the modified (Al, Cr) N layer also has improved the grain boundary strength of the crystal grains, and as a result, the fracture resistance has further improved. I understand that.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, the conventional (Al, Cr) N layer also has the highest peak in Σ3, but the distribution ratio of Σ3 is only 30% or less, and the modified (Al, Cr) N layer In comparison, a relatively low constituent atom shared lattice point distribution graph is shown.
As described above, the modified (Al, Cr) N layer has a high {112} plane orientation and a high Σ3 distribution ratio, so that the conventional (Al, Cr) N layer has high temperature hardness and high temperature strength. In addition to heat resistance, it has even higher temperature strength.

(d)平均層厚
改質(Al,Cr)N層の平均層厚が1μm未満では、自身のもつ耐熱性、高温硬さおよび高温強度を長期に亘って維持することができず、工具寿命短命の原因となり、一方その平均層厚が10μm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1〜10μmと定めた。
(D) Average layer thickness If the average layer thickness of the modified (Al, Cr) N layer is less than 1 μm, the heat resistance, high-temperature hardness and high-temperature strength possessed by itself cannot be maintained over a long period of time, resulting in tool life. On the other hand, if the average layer thickness exceeds 10 μm, chipping is likely to occur. Therefore, the average layer thickness is set to 1 to 10 μm.

次に、この発明の改質(Al,Cr)N層の成膜条件について、詳細に説明する。
硬質被覆層として、アークイオンプレーティングで蒸着形成した改質(Al,Cr)N層を備えた被覆工具を製造するにあたり、
アークイオンプレーティング装置内の回転テーブル上に工具基体を配設し、カソード電極としてAl−Cr合金を配置し、
前記装置内の回転テーブル上に配設された工具基体をArガス雰囲気中でArイオンによってボンバード洗浄した後、
装置内に反応ガスとして窒素ガスを導入して1〜6Paの反応雰囲気とすると共に、装置内を加熱し、工具基体温度を750〜900℃に保持した状態で、回転テーブル上の工具基体に、印加電圧+5〜−100(v)×印加時間2000〜20000(ns)の負バイアスおよび印加電圧+32〜+42(v)×印加時間100〜5000(ns)の正バイアスからなるバイポーラパルスバイアスを印加し、かつ前記Al−Cr合金からなるカソード電極とアノード電極との間に60〜200Aの電流を流してアーク放電を発生させて、工具基体表面に、組成式:(Al1−XCr)Nで表したときに、0.3≦X≦0.6(ただし、Xは原子比を示す)を満足する改質(Al,Cr)N層を蒸着形成する。
上記蒸着条件のうち、工具基体温度については、その温度が750℃未満では、{112}面への配向率が極めて小さくなり、目的とする皮膜が得られず、粒界強度が不足することから、工具基体温度は750℃以上とする必要がある。工具基体温度についての上限は特にないが、アークイオンプレーティング装置の仕様の点から、実際上は、工具基体温度を750〜900℃にすることが望ましい。ただ、これは、工具基体温度を900℃以上に高めてはならないということを意味するものではない。
また、バイポーラパルスバイアスについては、印加電圧+5〜−100(v)×印加時間2000〜20000(ns)の負バイアスおよび印加電圧+32〜+42(v)×印加時間100〜5000(ns)の正バイアスからなるバイポーラパルスバイアスを印加することが必要であり、負バイアス、正バイアスの印加電圧及び印加時間が上記数値範囲から外れた場合には、目的としている{112}面の強配向性の皮膜とならないため、成膜時の工具基体へのバイアス付加条件を上記の通りに定めた。
Next, the film forming conditions for the modified (Al, Cr) N layer of the present invention will be described in detail.
In producing a coated tool having a modified (Al, Cr) N layer formed by arc ion plating as a hard coating layer,
A tool base is arranged on a rotary table in the arc ion plating apparatus, an Al-Cr alloy is arranged as a cathode electrode,
After bombarding the tool base disposed on the rotary table in the apparatus with Ar ions in an Ar gas atmosphere,
Introducing nitrogen gas as a reaction gas into the apparatus to make a reaction atmosphere of 1 to 6 Pa, heating the inside of the apparatus, and maintaining the tool base temperature at 750 to 900 ° C., the tool base on the rotary table, A bipolar pulse bias composed of a negative bias of applied voltage +5 to −100 (v) × application time 2000 to 20000 (ns) and a positive bias of applied voltage +32 to +42 (v) × application time 100 to 5000 (ns) is applied. In addition, an arc discharge is generated by flowing a current of 60 to 200 A between the cathode electrode and the anode electrode made of the Al—Cr alloy, and the composition formula: (Al 1-X Cr X ) N The modified (Al, Cr) N layer satisfying 0.3 ≦ X ≦ 0.6 (where X represents an atomic ratio) is formed by vapor deposition.
Among the above deposition conditions, the tool base temperature is less than 750 ° C., because the orientation rate to the {112} plane is extremely small, the intended film cannot be obtained, and the grain boundary strength is insufficient. The tool substrate temperature needs to be 750 ° C. or higher. Although there is no particular upper limit on the tool base temperature, in practice, the tool base temperature is preferably 750 to 900 ° C. from the viewpoint of the specifications of the arc ion plating apparatus. However, this does not mean that the tool substrate temperature should not be raised above 900 ° C.
As for the bipolar pulse bias, a negative bias of applied voltage +5 to −100 (v) × application time 2000 to 20000 (ns) and a positive bias of applied voltage +32 to +42 (v) × application time 100 to 5000 (ns) If the application voltage and application time of the negative bias and the positive bias are out of the above numerical range, the target {112} plane strongly oriented film and Therefore, the conditions for applying a bias to the tool substrate during film formation were determined as described above.

また、比較の目的で、蒸着形成時の条件を、表4に示される工具基体温度、同じく表4に示される印加バイアス条件とした以外は、本発明被覆工具1〜18の製造の場合と全く同じ条件で従来(Al,Cr)N層を蒸着形成することにより、従来被覆工具1〜18をそれぞれ製造した。   Further, for the purpose of comparison, the conditions at the time of vapor deposition were set to the tool substrate temperature shown in Table 4 and the applied bias conditions shown in Table 4 as well, and the case of manufacturing the coated tools 1 to 18 of the present invention was completely different. Conventional coated tools 1-18 were produced by depositing a conventional (Al, Cr) N layer under the same conditions.

ついで、上記の本発明被覆工具と従来被覆工具の硬質被覆層を構成する改質(Al,Cr)N層および従来(Al,Cr)N層について、電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡を用いて、傾斜角度数分布グラフおよび構成原子共有格子点分布グラフをそれぞれ作成した。
まず、上記傾斜角度数分布グラフは、上記の改質(Al,Cr)N層および従来(Al,Cr)N層の表面を研磨面とした状態で、電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡の鏡筒内にセットし、前記研磨面に70度の入射角度で15kVの加速電圧の電子線を1nAの照射電流で、前記表面研磨面の測定範囲内に存在する立方晶結晶格子を有する結晶粒個々に照射し、電子後方散乱回折像装置を用いて、30×50μmの領域を0.1μm/stepの間隔で、前記表面研磨面の法線に対して、前記結晶粒の結晶面である{100}面の法線がなす傾斜角を測定し、この測定結果に基づいて、前記測定傾斜角のうち、0〜45度の範囲内にある測定傾斜角を0.25度のピッチ毎に区分すると共に、各区分内に存在する度数を集計することにより作成した。
また、上記構成原子共有格子点分布グラフは、上記の改質(Al,Cr)N層および従来(Al,Cr)N層の表面を研磨面とした状態で、電界放出型走査電子顕微鏡の鏡筒内にセットし、前記研磨面に70度の入射角度で15kVの加速電圧の電子線を1nAの照射電流で、前記表面研磨面の測定範囲内に存在する結晶粒個々に照射して、電子後方散乱回折像装置を用い、30×50μmの領域を0.1μm/stepの間隔で、前記表面研磨面の法線に対して、前記結晶粒の結晶面である{112}面の法線がなす傾斜角を測定し、この結果得られた測定傾斜角に基づいて、相互に隣接する結晶粒の界面で、前記構成原子のそれぞれが前記結晶粒相互間で1つの構成原子を共有する格子点(構成原子共有格子点)の分布を算出し、前記構成原子共有格子点間に構成原子を共有しない格子点がN個(NはNaCl型面心立方晶の結晶構造上2以上の偶数となる)存在する構成原子共有格子点形態をΣN+1で表した場合、個々のΣN+1がΣN+1全体(ただし、頻度の関係でNの上限値を28とする)に占める分布割合を求めることにより作成した。
Subsequently, the modified (Al, Cr) N layer and the conventional (Al, Cr) N layer constituting the hard coating layer of the present invention coated tool and the conventional coated tool are tilted using a field emission scanning electron microscope. An angular number distribution graph and a constituent atom shared lattice point distribution graph were prepared.
First, the tilt angle number distribution graph is shown in the column of a field emission scanning electron microscope in a state where the surfaces of the modified (Al, Cr) N layer and the conventional (Al, Cr) N layer are polished surfaces. Irradiating the polished surface with an electron beam with an acceleration voltage of 15 kV at an incident angle of 70 degrees with an irradiation current of 1 nA on each crystal grain having a cubic crystal lattice existing within the measurement range of the surface polished surface Then, using an electron backscatter diffraction image apparatus, a {100} plane which is a crystal plane of the crystal grain with respect to the normal line of the surface polished surface in a 30 × 50 μm region at an interval of 0.1 μm / step The inclination angle formed by the normal line is measured, and based on the measurement result, among the measurement inclination angles, the measurement inclination angle within the range of 0 to 45 degrees is divided for each pitch of 0.25 degrees, Created by counting the frequencies existing in each category.
Further, the constituent atomic shared lattice point distribution graph shows a mirror of a field emission scanning electron microscope in a state where the surfaces of the modified (Al, Cr) N layer and the conventional (Al, Cr) N layer are polished surfaces. An electron beam with an acceleration voltage of 15 kV at an incident angle of 70 degrees is applied to the polished surface with an irradiation current of 1 nA to each crystal grain existing within the measurement range of the surface polished surface. Using a backscatter diffraction image apparatus, the normal of the {112} plane, which is the crystal plane of the crystal grain, with respect to the normal of the surface-polished surface in a 30 × 50 μm region at an interval of 0.1 μm / step Lattice points at which each of the constituent atoms shares one constituent atom between the crystal grains at the interface between adjacent crystal grains based on the measured inclination angle obtained as a result of the measurement. Calculate the distribution of (constituent atom shared lattice points) When ΣN + 1 represents a constituent atom shared lattice point form in which there are N lattice points that do not share constituent atoms between child shared lattice points (N is an even number of 2 or more in the crystal structure of NaCl type face centered cubic crystal) Each ΣN + 1 was created by determining the distribution ratio of ΣN + 1 in the entire ΣN + 1 (however, the upper limit value of N is 28 in relation to the frequency).

この結果得られた各種の改質(Al,Cr)N層および従来(Al,Cr)N層の傾斜角度数分布グラフにおいて、30〜40度の測定傾斜角区分内に存在する度数を表5〜7にそれぞれ示し、また、改質(Al,Cr)N層および従来(Al,Cr)N層の構成原子共有格子点分布グラフにおいて、ΣN+1全体(Nは2〜28の範囲内のすべての偶数)に占めるΣ3の分布割合を表5〜7にそれぞれ示した。   In the gradient angle distribution graphs of various modified (Al, Cr) N layers and conventional (Al, Cr) N layers obtained as a result, the frequencies existing in the measured gradient angle section of 30 to 40 degrees are shown in Table 5. In addition, in the constituent atomic share lattice distribution graphs of the modified (Al, Cr) N layer and the conventional (Al, Cr) N layer, all of ΣN + 1 (N is in the range of 2 to 28). The distribution ratio of Σ3 in the even number) is shown in Tables 5 to 7, respectively.

上記の各種の傾斜角度数分布グラフおよび構成原子共有格子点分布グラフにおいて、表5〜7にそれぞれ示される通り、本発明被覆工具の改質(Al,Cr)N層は、{112}面の配向割合が非常に高く(傾斜角度数分布グラフにおける度数全体の60%以上の割合)、また、Σ3の分布割合も非常に高い(構成原子共有格子点分布グラフにおける度数全体の50%以上の割合)のに対して、従来被覆工具の従来(Al,Cr)N層は、{112}面の配向割合およびΣ3の分布割合のいずれもが低いものであった。
なお、図3は、本発明被覆工具1の改質(Al,Cr)N層の傾斜角度数分布グラフ、図4は、従来被覆工具1の従来(Al,Cr)N層の傾斜角度数分布グラフをそれぞれ示し、また、図5は、本発明被覆工具1の改質(Al,Cr)N層の構成原子共有格子点分布グラフ、図6は、従来被覆工具1の従来(Al,Cr)N層の構成原子共有格子点分布グラフをそれぞれ示す。
In each of the above-mentioned various inclination angle number distribution graphs and constituent atom shared lattice point distribution graphs, as shown in Tables 5 to 7, the modified (Al, Cr) N layer of the coated tool of the present invention has a {112} plane. The orientation ratio is very high (ratio of 60% or more of the whole frequency in the tilt angle distribution graph), and the distribution ratio of Σ3 is also very high (ratio of 50% or more of the whole frequency in the constituent atom sharing lattice distribution graph). In contrast, the conventional (Al, Cr) N layer of the conventional coated tool has a low orientation ratio of {112} plane and a distribution ratio of Σ3.

As a result, it was confirmed that both the former and the latter were composed of an (Al, Cr) N layer having substantially the same composition as the target composition. Moreover, when the thickness of the hard coating layer of these coating tools was measured using a scanning electron microscope (same longitudinal section measurement), the average layer thickness (5 point measurement) was substantially the same as the target layer thickness. Average value).

つぎに、上記の各種の被覆工具をいずれも工具鋼製バイトの先端部に固定治具にてネジ止めした状態で、本発明被覆工具1〜18および従来被覆工具1〜18について、以下のような切削試験を行った。   Next, with the various coated tools described above, the present coated tools 1 to 18 and the conventional coated tools 1 to 18 in the state where each of the above various coated tools is screwed to the tip of the tool steel tool with a fixing jig, as follows.

表5〜10に示される結果から、本発明被覆工具1〜18は、{112}面の配向割合が非常に高く(傾斜角度数分布グラフにおける度数全体の60%以上の割合)、また、Σ3の分布割合も非常に高い(構成原子共有格子点分布グラフにおける度数全体の50%以上の割合)改質(Al,Cr)N層で硬質被覆層が構成され、機械的負荷がきわめて大きい鋼や鋳鉄の重切削加工でも、前記改質(Al,Cr)N層が一段とすぐれた高温強度を有することから、すぐれた耐欠損性を示すと同時にすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮するのに対して、{112}面の配向割合およびΣ3の分布割合のいずれもが低い従来(Al,Cr)N層で硬質被覆層が構成された従来被覆工具1〜18においては、いずれも高速断続切削では硬質被覆層の高温強度が不十分であるために、重切削加工では硬質被覆層に欠損が発生し、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 5 to 10, the coated tools 1 to 18 of the present invention have a very high orientation ratio of {112} plane (a ratio of 60% or more of the entire frequency in the tilt angle number distribution graph), and Σ3 The distribution ratio of is also very high (a ratio of 50% or more of the total frequency in the constituent atomic shared lattice distribution graph). The hard coating layer is composed of the modified (Al, Cr) N layer, and the mechanical load is extremely high. Even in heavy cutting of cast iron, the modified (Al, Cr) N layer has excellent high-temperature strength, so it exhibits excellent fracture resistance and at the same time exhibits excellent wear resistance. In the conventional coated tools 1 to 18 in which the hard coating layer is composed of the conventional (Al, Cr) N layer, which has a low {112} plane orientation ratio and Σ3 distribution ratio, all of them are hard coated by high-speed intermittent cutting. Insufficient high-temperature strength of the layer Therefore, it is clear that in the heavy cutting process, defects are generated in the hard coating layer and the service life is reached in a relatively short time.

上述のように、この発明の被覆工具は、各種鋼や鋳鉄などの通常の条件での連続切削や断続切削は勿論のこと、特に高い高温強度が要求される重切削加工でも硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐欠損性を示し、長期に亘ってすぐれた切削性能を発揮するものであるから、切削装置の高性能化並びに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。   As described above, the coated tool of the present invention has an excellent hard coating layer not only for continuous cutting and interrupted cutting under normal conditions such as various steels and cast iron, but also for heavy cutting that requires high high-temperature strength. It exhibits excellent chipping resistance and exhibits excellent cutting performance over a long period of time, so that it can sufficiently satisfy high performance cutting equipment, labor saving and energy saving of cutting processing, and cost reduction. It is.
