Abstract
Description
この発明は、焼入れ鋼などの高硬度鋼の強断続切削加工において、硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐クラック性と耐摩耗性を発揮し、長期の使用にわたってすぐれた切削性能を発揮する表面被覆切削工具(以下、被覆工具という)に関するものである。 The present invention provides a surface-coated cutting tool that exhibits excellent cracking resistance and wear resistance due to its hard coating layer in hard interrupted cutting of hardened steel such as hardened steel, and excellent cutting performance over a long period of use. (Hereinafter referred to as a coated tool).

そして、被覆工具の切削性能改善を目的として、従来から、数多くの提案がなされている。
In general, as a coated tool, for throwing inserts that can be used detachably attached to the tip of a cutting tool for turning and planing of various materials such as steel and cast iron, and for drilling and cutting the work material Known drills and miniature drills, end mills used for chamfering and grooving, shoulder processing, etc. of the work material, solid hob, pinion cutter used for gear cutting of the tooth profile of the work material, etc. Yes.
Many proposals have been made for the purpose of improving the cutting performance of the coated tool.
例えば、特許文献1に示すように、炭化タングステン(以下、WCで示す)基超硬合金、炭窒化チタン(以下、TiCNで示す)基サーメット等の工具基体の表面に、Cr、Al及びSiを主成分とする金属成分と、C、N、O、Bから選択される少なくとも1種以上の元素とから構成される立方晶構造の硬質層を1層以上被覆することにより、耐欠損性、耐摩耗性を改善した被覆工具が提案されている。 For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, Cr, Al, and Si are formed on the surface of a tool base such as tungsten carbide (hereinafter referred to as WC) -based cemented carbide, titanium carbonitride (hereinafter referred to as TiCN) -based cermet. By covering one or more hard layers having a cubic structure composed of a metal component as a main component and at least one element selected from C, N, O, and B, chipping resistance, Coated tools with improved wear have been proposed.
また、特許文献2には、工具基体表面に硬質被覆層を被覆した被覆工具において、硬質膜の少なくとも1層は、(MaLb)Xc(但し、MはCr,Al,Ti,Hf,V,Zr,Ta,Mo,W,Yの中から選ばれた少なくとも1種の金属元素を示し、LはMn,Cu,Ni,Co,B,Si,Sの中から選ばれた少なくとも1種の添加元素を示し、XはC,N,Oの中から選ばれた少なくとも1種の非金属元素を示し、aはMとLとの合計に対するMの原子比を示し、bはMとLとの合計に対するLの原子比を示し、cはMとLとの合計に対するXの原子比を示す。また、a,b,cは、それぞれ0.85≦a≦0.99、0.01≦b≦0.15、a+b=1、1.00<c≦1.20を満足する。)とすることで、硬質膜の成分であるCu,Si等による結晶粒の微細化、結晶安定性により、高温硬さが高くなり、耐摩耗性が向上し、さらに、耐酸化性も向上すると記載されている。 In Patent Document 2, in a coated tool in which a hard coating layer is coated on the surface of a tool base, at least one layer of the hard film is (MaLb) Xc (where M is Cr, Al, Ti, Hf, V, Zr). , Ta, Mo, W, Y represents at least one metal element selected from L, and L represents at least one additive element selected from Mn, Cu, Ni, Co, B, Si, S X represents at least one nonmetallic element selected from C, N, and O, a represents the atomic ratio of M to the sum of M and L, and b represents the sum of M and L C represents the atomic ratio of X to the sum of M and L. Further, a, b, and c are 0.85 ≦ a ≦ 0.99 and 0.01 ≦ b ≦, respectively. 0.15, a + b = 1, and 1.00 <c ≦ 1.20). Cu, grain refining of Si, etc., by crystallization stability, increases the high-temperature hardness, improved abrasion resistance, further, have been described to improved oxidation resistance.
さらに、特許文献3には、工具基体表面に、CrとAlの複合窒化物からなる硬質被覆層を物理蒸着してなる被覆工具において、硬質被覆層を、層厚方向にそって、Al最高含有点とAl最低含有点とが所定間隔をおいて交互に繰り返し存在し、かつ前記両点間でAl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最高含有点が、組成式:(Cr1−XAlX)N(ただし、原子比で、Xは0.40〜0.60を示す)を満足し、また、上記Al最低含有点が、組成式:(Cr1−YAlY)N(ただし、原子比で、Yは0.05〜0.30を示す)を満足し、かつ、隣り合う上記Al最高含有点とAl最低含有点の間隔が、0.01〜0.1μmである硬質被覆層とすることにより、重切削加工条件で硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐チッピング性を発揮すると記載されている。 Furthermore, in Patent Document 3, in a coated tool formed by physically vapor-depositing a hard coating layer made of a composite nitride of Cr and Al on the surface of a tool base, the hard coating layer contains the highest Al along the layer thickness direction. Points and Al minimum content points are alternately present repeatedly at a predetermined interval, and the Al content is continuously varied between the two points, and the Al maximum content point is , Composition formula: (Cr 1-X Al X ) N (wherein X is 0.40 to 0.60 in atomic ratio), and the above-mentioned Al minimum content point is the composition formula: (Cr 1-Y Al Y ) N (wherein Y represents 0.05 to 0.30 in atomic ratio), and the distance between the adjacent Al highest content point and Al minimum content point adjacent to each other is 0. Hard coating under heavy cutting conditions by using a hard coating layer of 01-0.1 μm It is described that the layer exhibits excellent chipping resistance.
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、切削加工はますます高速化・高能率化の傾向にあるが、上記従来の被覆工具においては、これを鋼や鋳鉄などの通常の切削条件での切削加工に用いた場合には、特段の問題は生じないが、これを、例えば、焼入れ鋼などの高硬度鋼の強断続切削加工のような、高熱発生を伴い、しかも、切刃に対して衝撃的・断続的な高負荷がかかる切削加工に用いた場合には、クラックの発生・伝播を抑制することができず、また、摩耗進行も促進されるため、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 dramatically improved, while there is a strong demand for labor saving, energy saving, and cost reduction for cutting, and as a result, cutting has become a trend toward higher speed and higher efficiency. However, in the above-mentioned conventional coated tool, when it is used for cutting under normal cutting conditions such as steel and cast iron, no particular problem arises. Suppresses the generation and propagation of cracks when used for cutting that involves high heat generation, such as hard interrupted cutting of high hardness steel, and that imposes an impact and intermittent high load on the cutting edge. In addition, since the wear progress is promoted, the service life is reached in a relatively short time.
例えば、特許文献1に示される従来被覆工具においては、硬質被覆層を構成する(Al,Cr,Si)N層のAl成分は高温硬さ、同Cr成分は高温靭性、高温強度を向上させると共に、AlおよびCrが共存含有した状態で高温耐酸化性を向上させ、さらに同Si成分は耐熱塑性変形性を向上させる作用があるが、高熱発生を伴い、しかも、切刃に対して衝撃的・断続的な高負荷がかかる切削条件においては、チッピング、欠損等の原因となるクラックの発生を避けることはできず、例えば、Cr含有割合を増加することにより高温靭性、高温強度の改善を図ろうとしても、相対的なAl含有割合の減少によって、耐摩耗性が低下してしまうため、(Al,Cr,Si)N層からなる硬質被覆層における耐クラック性と耐摩耗性の両立を図るには自ずから限界がある。
また、特許文献2に示される従来被覆工具においては、硬質被覆層成分としてCuを含有させ、結晶粒の微細化を図ることによって耐摩耗性を向上させることが提案されているが、耐摩耗性が向上する反面、靭性が低下することによってクラックの発生を抑制することができず、工具寿命は短命である。
さらに、特許文献3に示される従来被覆工具においては、硬質被覆層中に繰り返し成分濃度が変化する組成変調構造を形成し、高温硬さと耐熱性はAl最高含有点(Cr最低含有点に相当)で担保し、一方、硬質被覆層の強度は、Al最高含有点(Cr最低含有点に相当)に隣接するAl最低含有点(Cr最低含有点に相当)で確保することにより、耐クラック性と耐摩耗性を確保しているが、通常の鋼や合金鋼、鋳鉄の切削加工ではある程度の効果は得られるものの、高硬度鋼(例えば、HRC60以上)の切削加工においては、切れ刃に作用する衝撃的・断続的な高負荷により、耐クラック性、耐摩耗性が十分であるとはいえない。
For example, in the conventional coated tool disclosed in Patent Document 1, the Al component of the (Al, Cr, Si) N layer constituting the hard coating layer improves high-temperature hardness, and the Cr component improves high-temperature toughness and high-temperature strength. In the coexistence of Al and Cr, the high-temperature oxidation resistance is improved, and further, the Si component has the effect of improving the heat-resistant plastic deformation property. Under cutting conditions that require intermittent high loads, it is impossible to avoid the occurrence of cracks that cause chipping, chipping, etc. For example, increasing the Cr content will improve high temperature toughness and strength. However, since the wear resistance deteriorates due to the relative decrease in the Al content ratio, both the crack resistance and the wear resistance of the hard coating layer made of the (Al, Cr, Si) N layer are achieved. There is naturally a limit to.
Further, in the conventional coated tool shown in Patent Document 2, it has been proposed to improve the wear resistance by containing Cu as a hard coating layer component and making the crystal grains finer. However, since the toughness is reduced, the generation of cracks cannot be suppressed and the tool life is short.
Furthermore, in the conventional coated tool shown in Patent Document 3, a composition modulation structure in which the component concentration is repeatedly changed is formed in the hard coating layer, and the high temperature hardness and heat resistance are the highest Al content point (corresponding to the lowest Cr content point). On the other hand, by ensuring the strength of the hard coating layer at the Al minimum content point (corresponding to the Cr minimum content point) adjacent to the Al maximum content point (corresponding to the Cr minimum content point), Although wear resistance is ensured, some effects can be obtained by cutting ordinary steel, alloy steel, and cast iron, but it acts on the cutting edge in cutting hardened steel (for example, HRC 60 or more). It cannot be said that crack resistance and wear resistance are sufficient due to shocking and intermittent high loads.
そこで、本発明者等は、上述の観点から、焼入れ鋼などの高硬度鋼の強断続切削加工のような、高熱発生を伴い、しかも、切刃に対して衝撃的・断続的な高負荷が作用する切削加工条件下で、硬質被覆層がすぐれた耐クラック性と耐摩耗性を両立し得る被覆工具を開発すべく、硬質被覆層を構成する成分および層構造に着目し研究を行った結果、以下のような知見を得た。 In view of the above, the present inventors, from the above viewpoint, are accompanied by high heat generation, such as hard interrupted cutting of hardened steel such as hardened steel. Results of research focusing on the components and layer structures that make up the hard coating layer in order to develop a coated tool that has both excellent crack resistance and wear resistance under the working cutting conditions The following findings were obtained.
即ち、本発明者は、AlとCrとSiの複合窒化物層からなる硬質被覆層の成分として、Cuを含有させることによって、AlとCrとSiとCuの複合窒化物(以下、「(Al,Cr,Si,Cu)N」で示す場合がある)層を硬質被覆層のB層として形成し、該B層によって結晶粒微細化による耐摩耗性向上と衝撃緩和性による耐クラック性向上を図り、さらに、工具基体と前記B層との間に、TiとAlの複合窒化物(以下、「(Ti,Al)N」で示す場合がある)層をA層として介在形成することによって、工具基体および前記B層との密着強度を高め、前記A層の具備する高温靭性、高温強度と相俟って、硬質被覆層全体としての耐クラック性、耐摩耗性を向上させることができることを見出した。 That is, the present inventor has incorporated Cu, as a component of the hard coating layer composed of a composite nitride layer of Al, Cr, and Si, so that a composite nitride of Al, Cr, Si, and Cu (hereinafter referred to as “(Al , Cr, Si, Cu) N ”) is formed as a B layer of a hard coating layer, and the B layer improves wear resistance by refining crystal grains and improves crack resistance by impact relaxation. Further, by interposing and forming a composite nitride of Ti and Al (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “(Ti, Al) N”) as an A layer between the tool base and the B layer, The adhesion strength between the tool substrate and the B layer can be increased, and combined with the high temperature toughness and high temperature strength of the A layer, the crack resistance and wear resistance of the entire hard coating layer can be improved. I found it.
また、本発明者らは、前記A層およびB層をそれぞれ交互に多層に積層して硬質被覆層を交互積層構造として構成した場合には、耐剥離性にすぐれ、かつ、耐クラック性、耐摩耗性にすぐれた硬質被覆層を形成し得ることを見出した。 Further, the present inventors have excellent peeling resistance, crack resistance, anti-resistance when the A layer and the B layer are alternately laminated in multiple layers to form a hard coating layer as an alternately laminated structure. It has been found that a hard coating layer having excellent wear can be formed.
さらに、本発明者らは、前記B層について、層中のCr成分濃度が層厚方向に沿って周期的に変化する組成変調構造をもった層として構成することによって、前記B層の靭性と耐摩耗性を一段と高め得ることを見出した。 Furthermore, the present inventors configured the B layer as a layer having a compositional modulation structure in which the Cr component concentration in the layer periodically changes along the layer thickness direction, thereby providing the toughness of the B layer. It has been found that the wear resistance can be further improved.
そして、前記硬質被覆層を備えた被覆工具は、高熱発生を伴い、しかも、切刃に対して衝撃的・断続的な高負荷が作用する焼入れ鋼などの高硬度鋼の強断続切削加工条件において、すぐれた耐クラック性、耐摩耗性を発揮することを見出したのである。 And the coated tool provided with the hard coating layer is accompanied by high heat generation, and in a severe interrupted cutting condition of hardened steel such as hardened steel in which impact and intermittent high load acts on the cutting edge. They have found that they exhibit excellent crack resistance and wear resistance.

つぎに、この発明の被覆工具について、詳細に説明する。 Next, the coated tool of the present invention will be described in detail.
工具基体:
本発明では、立方晶窒化硼素焼結体を工具基体として用いる。
立方晶窒化硼素焼結体を構成する成分、組成について特別な制限はないが、より好ましい構成としては、前記立方晶窒化硼素焼結体は、立方晶窒化硼素粒子と、Tiの窒化物、炭化物、炭窒化物、硼化物およびAlの窒化物、酸化物からなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種以上と不可避不純物を含む結合相からなり、前記立方晶窒化硼素粒子の平均粒径は0.5〜5.0μmかつ焼結体を作製するための原料粉全体に占める立方晶窒化硼素粒子の含有割合は30〜80体積%である。これは、立方晶窒化硼素粒子の平均粒径が5.0μmを超えると硬質被覆層との密着性が低いcBN粒子との接触面積が大きくなり、硬質被覆層と立方晶窒化硼素焼結体との付着強度が低下し、硬質被覆層の剥離を伴う異常損傷が生じやすくなり、一方、0.5μm未満になると硬質粒子としてのcBN粒子の機能が十分に発揮できず、耐摩耗性が低下するためである。また、立方晶窒化硼素粒子の含有割合が30vol%未満では、焼結体の強度が低下し、一方、80vol%を超えると焼結時の焼結性が低下してくるからである。
Tool base:
In the present invention, a cubic boron nitride sintered body is used as a tool base.
There are no particular restrictions on the components and composition of the cubic boron nitride sintered body. However, as a more preferable configuration, the cubic boron nitride sintered body includes cubic boron nitride particles, Ti nitride, and carbide. , Carbon nitride, boride and nitride of Al, consisting of a binder phase containing at least one selected from the group consisting of oxides and inevitable impurities, the average particle size of the cubic boron nitride particles is 0.5 ~ The content ratio of the cubic boron nitride particles in the total raw material powder for producing the sintered body is 5.0 to 30% by volume. This is because when the average particle size of the cubic boron nitride particles exceeds 5.0 μm, the contact area with the cBN particles having low adhesion to the hard coating layer increases, and the hard coating layer and the cubic boron nitride sintered body Adhesive strength of the resin is reduced, and abnormal damage accompanied by peeling of the hard coating layer is likely to occur. On the other hand, when the thickness is less than 0.5 μm, the function of the cBN particles as the hard particles cannot be sufficiently exhibited, and the wear resistance is reduced. Because. Further, when the content ratio of the cubic boron nitride particles is less than 30 vol%, the strength of the sintered body is lowered, whereas when it exceeds 80 vol%, the sinterability at the time of sintering is lowered.
硬質被覆層を構成するA層:
本発明では、硬質被覆層を、(Ti,Al)N層からなるA層と、(Al,Cr,Si,Cu)N層からなるB層とで構成する。
(Ti,Al)N層からなるA層は、高温強度を有し、また、工具基体および(Al,Cr,Si,Cu)N層からなるB層のいずれに対してもすぐれた密着強度を有するため、硬質被覆層の耐チッピング性、耐剥離性向上に寄与する。
A層を、組成式:(Ti1−xAlx)Nで表した場合、TiとAlの合量に占めるAlの平均含有割合x(原子比)は、0.4≦x≦0.7を満足する値とする。
これは、xの値が0.4未満では、A層の高温硬さおよび高温耐酸化性が低下し、一方、xの値が0.7を超えると、相対的なTi含有割合の減少により、十分な高温強度を確保することができなくなるという理由による。
なお、xの値が0.4〜0.7の範囲では、通常、(Ti,Al)N層はその大部分が立方晶構造の結晶粒から構成される。しかし、xの値が0.7の近傍の場合に、層中に微量の六方晶構造の結晶粒が出現することもあるが、耐摩耗性への実質的な悪影響は少ないので、xの値が0.4〜0.7の範囲内であれば、(Ti,Al)N層中に微量の六方晶構造の結晶粒が存在することは許容される。
A layer constituting the hard coating layer:
In the present invention, the hard coating layer is composed of an A layer composed of a (Ti, Al) N layer and a B layer composed of an (Al, Cr, Si, Cu) N layer.
The A layer made of the (Ti, Al) N layer has high-temperature strength, and has excellent adhesion strength for both the tool base and the B layer made of the (Al, Cr, Si, Cu) N layer. Therefore, it contributes to improvement of chipping resistance and peeling resistance of the hard coating layer.
When the layer A is represented by the composition formula: (Ti 1-x Al x ) N, the average content ratio x (atomic ratio) of Al in the total amount of Ti and Al is 0.4 ≦ x ≦ 0.7. Is a value satisfying.
This is because when the value of x is less than 0.4, the high-temperature hardness and high-temperature oxidation resistance of the A layer decrease, whereas when the value of x exceeds 0.7, the relative Ti content decreases. This is because sufficient high-temperature strength cannot be secured.
When the value of x is in the range of 0.4 to 0.7, the (Ti, Al) N layer is usually mostly composed of crystal grains having a cubic structure. However, when the value of x is in the vicinity of 0.7, a small amount of hexagonal crystal grains may appear in the layer, but since the substantial adverse effect on the wear resistance is small, the value of x Is within the range of 0.4 to 0.7, it is allowed that a small amount of hexagonal crystal grains exist in the (Ti, Al) N layer.
硬質被覆層を構成するB層:
(Al,Cr,Si,Cu)N層からなるB層は、特に、Cu成分含有による結晶粒微細化が図られることによりすぐれた耐摩耗性を示し、また、B層が備える衝撃緩和作用によってすぐれた耐クラック性を示す。
B層を、組成式:(Al1−a−b−cCraSibCuc)Nで表した場合、それぞれの成分の平均含有割合(原子比)を示すa、b、cについては、0.15≦a≦0.40、0.05≦b≦0.20、0.005≦c≦0.05(ただし、a、b、cはいずれも原子比)を満足する値とする。
Crの平均含有割合を示すa値(原子比)が、AlとSiとCuの合量に占める割合で0.15未満では、最低限必要とされる高温靭性、高温強度を確保することができないため、チッピング、欠損等の原因となるクラックの発生を抑制することができず、一方、同a値が0.40を超えると、相対的なAl含有割合の減少により、摩耗進行が促進することから、a値を0.15〜0.40と定めた。
また、Siの平均含有割合を示すb値(原子比)が、AlとCrとCuの合量に占める割合で0.05未満では、耐熱塑性変形性の改善による耐摩耗性向上を期待することはできず、一方、同b値が0.20を超えると、耐摩耗性向上効果に低下傾向がみられるようになることから、b値を0.05〜0.20と定めた。
さらに、Cuの平均含有割合を示すc値(原子比)が、AlとCrとSiの合量に占める割合で0.005未満では、結晶粒微細化による耐摩耗性向上効果を期待することができず、一方、同c値が0.05を超えると、アークイオンプレーティング(以下、「AIP」で示す。)装置によって(Al,Cr,Si,Cu)N層を成膜する際にパーティクルが発生しやすくなり、衝撃的・断続的な高負荷が作用する切削加工において耐クラック性が低下することから、c値を0.005〜0.05と定めた。 また、本発明のB層を構成する結晶に関しては、特定の結晶構造を有する必要はないが、立方晶構造を有する結晶、または、六方晶構造を有する結晶、または、立方晶構造の結晶と六方晶構造の結晶とが混在したもの、のいずれかであることが好ましい。なお、上記a、b、cについて、好ましい範囲は、それぞれ、0.15≦a≦0.25、0.05≦b≦0.15、0.01≦c≦0.03である。
B layer constituting the hard coating layer:
The B layer composed of the (Al, Cr, Si, Cu) N layer exhibits excellent wear resistance due to the refinement of crystal grains due to the inclusion of the Cu component, and the impact mitigating action provided by the B layer. Excellent crack resistance.
When the B layer is represented by a composition formula: (Al 1-ab-c Cr a Si b Cu c ) N, a, b, and c indicating the average content ratio (atomic ratio) of each component, The values satisfy 0.15 ≦ a ≦ 0.40, 0.05 ≦ b ≦ 0.20, 0.005 ≦ c ≦ 0.05 (where a, b, and c are atomic ratios).
When the a value (atomic ratio) indicating the average content ratio of Cr is less than 0.15 in the ratio of the total amount of Al, Si, and Cu, the minimum required high temperature toughness and high temperature strength cannot be ensured. Therefore, the occurrence of cracks that cause chipping, chipping, etc. cannot be suppressed. On the other hand, if the value a exceeds 0.40, the progress of wear is promoted by the decrease in the relative Al content ratio. Therefore, the a value was determined to be 0.15 to 0.40.
In addition, if the b value (atomic ratio) indicating the average content ratio of Si is less than 0.05 in the total amount of Al, Cr and Cu, it is expected to improve wear resistance by improving the heat plastic deformation property. On the other hand, if the b value exceeds 0.20, the wear resistance improving effect tends to decrease, so the b value was set to 0.05 to 0.20.
Furthermore, if the c value (atomic ratio) indicating the average content ratio of Cu is less than 0.005 in the ratio of the total amount of Al, Cr and Si, the effect of improving the wear resistance by crystal grain refinement can be expected. On the other hand, if the c value exceeds 0.05, particles are formed when the (Al, Cr, Si, Cu) N layer is formed by an arc ion plating (hereinafter referred to as “AIP”) apparatus. Since the crack resistance is lowered in the cutting process in which impacts and intermittent high loads act, the c value is determined to be 0.005 to 0.05. Further, the crystal constituting the B layer of the present invention does not need to have a specific crystal structure, but it has a cubic crystal structure, a hexagonal crystal structure, a cubic crystal structure and a hexagonal structure. It is preferably any of those mixed with crystals having a crystal structure. In addition, about said a, b, and c, a preferable range is 0.15 <= a <= 0.25, 0.05 <= b <= 0.15, 0.01 <= c <= 0.03, respectively.
硬質被覆層の層構造:
本発明では、硬質被覆層は、A層とB層とで構成されるが、層構造の一つの態様として、図1に示すA層とB層との二層構造をあげることができる。
また、別の態様としては、図2に示すようにA層とB層との合計層数が3層以上の交互積層構造をあげることができる。
なお、前記B層は図1(b)〜(d)に示すように、B層内にCr成分濃度が周期的に変化する組成変調構造を有する。
なお、A層、B層の平均層厚は、前記いずれの層構造の場合であっても、それぞれ、0.1〜3.0μmの範囲内とする。
これは、A層の平均層厚が0.1μm未満では、工具基体あるいはB層との密着強度向上効果が少なく、一方、A層の平均層厚が3.0μmを超えると、残留圧縮応力の蓄積により、クラックが発生しやすくなり安定した密着力を確保できなくなることから、A層の平均層厚は、0.1〜3.0μm、望ましくは、0.3〜2.0μmと定めた。
また、B層の平均層厚が0.1μm未満では、長期の使用にわたってすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮することはできず、一方、その平均層厚が3.0μmを超えると、チッピング、欠損を発生しやすくなるので、B層の平均層厚は、0.1〜3.0μm、望ましくは、0.3〜2.0μmと定めた。
さらに、A層とB層からなる硬質被覆層の合計平均層厚が0.5μm未満では、長期にわたる十分な耐摩耗性を発揮することができず、一方、合計層厚が4.0μmを超えると硬質被覆層が自壊を生じやすくなることから、硬質被覆層の合計平均層厚は0.5〜4.0μmと定めた。
また、工具基体と硬質被覆層の密着性確保との観点から、工具基体の表面直上にはA層を成膜し、一方、切削初期の衝撃緩和との観点から、硬質被覆層の最表面をB層で形成することとする。このような層構造とすることで、硬質被覆層と高い付着強度を得ることが困難な立方晶窒化硼素焼結体を基体とした表面被覆切削工具においても、B層が備える衝撃緩和作用を十全に発揮させることが可能となる。
Layer structure of hard coating layer:
In the present invention, the hard coating layer is composed of an A layer and a B layer. As one embodiment of the layer structure, a two-layer structure of an A layer and a B layer shown in FIG. 1 can be given.
Further, as another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, an alternate laminated structure in which the total number of layers A and B is three or more can be given.
The B layer has a composition modulation structure in which the Cr component concentration periodically changes in the B layer, as shown in FIGS.
In addition, the average layer thickness of A layer and B layer shall be in the range of 0.1-3.0 micrometers, respectively, also in the case of any said layer structure.
If the average layer thickness of the A layer is less than 0.1 μm, the effect of improving the adhesion strength with the tool substrate or the B layer is small. On the other hand, if the average layer thickness of the A layer exceeds 3.0 μm, the residual compressive stress Since accumulation tends to generate cracks and stable adhesion cannot be ensured, the average layer thickness of the A layer is set to 0.1 to 3.0 μm, preferably 0.3 to 2.0 μm.
In addition, when the average layer thickness of the B layer is less than 0.1 μm, excellent wear resistance cannot be exhibited over a long period of use. On the other hand, when the average layer thickness exceeds 3.0 μm, chipping and defects are not caused. Since it becomes easy to generate | occur | produce, the average layer thickness of B layer was set to 0.1-3.0 micrometers, desirably 0.3-2.0 micrometers.
Furthermore, if the total average layer thickness of the hard coating layers composed of the A layer and the B layer is less than 0.5 μm, sufficient wear resistance over a long period cannot be exhibited, while the total layer thickness exceeds 4.0 μm. Since the hard coating layer tends to be self-destructing, the total average layer thickness of the hard coating layer was determined to be 0.5 to 4.0 μm.
In addition, from the viewpoint of ensuring adhesion between the tool base and the hard coating layer, an A layer is formed directly on the surface of the tool base, while from the viewpoint of impact mitigation at the initial stage of cutting, the outermost surface of the hard coating layer is formed. The layer B is formed. With such a layer structure, even in a surface-coated cutting tool based on a cubic boron nitride sintered body that is difficult to obtain a hard coating layer and high adhesion strength, the impact mitigating action of the B layer can be sufficiently reduced. It will be possible to fully demonstrate.
B層の組成:
図1に示す組成変調構造を有するB層を成膜するに際しては、例えば図3に示すように、アークイオンプレーティング(以下、「AIP」と記す)装置内に、A層形成用の所定組成のTi−Al合金ターゲットを配置するとともに、組成変調構造を形成するための2種類のAl−Cr−Si−Cu合金ターゲットをそれぞれ配置することで実施する。
前記2種類のAl−Cr−Si−Cu合金ターゲットは、B層の組成変調におけるCr成分濃度の最高含有点を形成するCr成分最高含有点形成用Al−Cr−Si−Cu合金ターゲットと、B層の組成変調におけるCr成分濃度の最低含有点を形成するCr成分最低含有点形成用Al−Cr−Si−Cu合金ターゲットである。
Composition of layer B:
When forming the B layer having the composition modulation structure shown in FIG. 1, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a predetermined composition for forming the A layer is provided in an arc ion plating (hereinafter referred to as “AIP”) apparatus. The Ti—Al alloy target is arranged, and two types of Al—Cr—Si—Cu alloy targets for forming the composition modulation structure are respectively arranged.
The two types of Al—Cr—Si—Cu alloy targets include a Cr component highest content point forming Al—Cr—Si—Cu alloy target that forms the highest content point of the Cr component concentration in the composition modulation of the B layer, and B It is an Al-Cr-Si-Cu alloy target for forming a Cr component minimum content point that forms the minimum content point of the Cr component concentration in the compositional modulation of the layer.
組成変調構造を有するB層の成膜に当たっては、図3に示すAIP装置において、回転テーブル上で自転しながら回転する工具基体とCr最高含有点形成用ターゲットとの間にアーク放電を発生させて成膜すると同時に、回転テーブル上で自転しながら回転する工具基体とCr最低含有点形成用ターゲットとの間にもアーク放電を発生させて成膜することによって、Cr成分濃度が層厚方向に沿って周期的かつ連続的に変化する組成変調構造(図1(c)参照)を有するB層を形成することができる。
また、上記の成膜工程において、工具基体とCr最高含有点形成用ターゲット(あるいはCr最低含有点形成用ターゲット)との間にアーク放電を発生させて成膜したのちアーク放電を停止し、次いで、工具基体とCr最低含有点形成用ターゲット(あるいはCr最高含有点形成用ターゲット)との間にアーク放電を発生させて成膜したのちアーク放電を停止する、という前記操作を交互に繰り返し行うことにより、Cr成分濃度が層厚方向に沿って周期的にかつ不連続的(ステップ状)に変化する組成変調構造(図1(d)参照)を有するB層を形成することができる。
本発明は組成変調構造の形態に関して、Crの成分濃度変化が連続的または不連続的のいずれの形態であっても構わないが、切刃に対して衝撃的・断続的な高負荷が作用する切削加工において、硬質被覆層の耐摩耗性および耐熱性向上効果を発揮させつつ、かつ層全体として耐クラック性を向上させる観点からは、Cr最高含有点とCr最低含有点の間の層内の親和性を高めるため、組成変調構造のCrの成分濃度変化が連続的に変化することがより好ましい。
≪影山コメント:図1(c)、(d)を追加しました。≫
ここでいう最高含有点、最低含有点について説明する。ここでいうCrの最高含有点とは、層厚方向に沿って測定した各測定点におけるCr成分の濃度が、B層全体の組成式(Al1−a−b−cCraSibCuc)NにおけるCr成分の平均濃度割合aの値を連続して超えている部分における極大値を言い、aの値を連続して超えている部分が複数ある場合は、それぞれの部分における極大値をそれぞれの部分における最高含有点と定義する。同様に、ここでいう最低含有点とは、層厚方向に沿って測定した各測定点におけるCr成分の平均濃度割合aが、B層全体の組成式(Al1−a−b−cCraSibCuc)NにおけるCr成分の平均濃度割合aの値未満となる連続した部分における極小値を言い、連続してaの値未満となる部分が複数ある場合は、それぞれの部分における極小値をそれぞれの部分における最小含有点と定義する。この定義によれば、aの値近傍での周期的な変化において、図1(b)に示すように、最高含有点と最低含有点が交互に出現する。
In forming the B layer having the composition modulation structure, arc discharge is generated between the tool base rotating while rotating on the rotary table and the target for forming the highest Cr content in the AIP apparatus shown in FIG. At the same time as the film is formed, by generating an arc discharge between the tool base that rotates while rotating on the rotary table and the target for forming the lowest Cr content point, the Cr component concentration follows the layer thickness direction. Thus, a B layer having a composition modulation structure (see FIG. 1C) that periodically and continuously changes can be formed.
Further, in the above film forming step, arc discharge is generated between the tool base and the target for forming the highest Cr content point (or target for forming the lowest Cr content point) to stop the arc discharge. The above operation of alternately stopping the arc discharge after forming an arc discharge between the tool base and the target for forming the lowest Cr content point (or target for forming the highest Cr content point) is alternately performed. Thus, the B layer having a composition modulation structure (see FIG. 1D) in which the Cr component concentration changes periodically and discontinuously (step-like) along the layer thickness direction can be formed.
In the present invention, regarding the form of the compositional modulation structure, the Cr component concentration change may be either continuous or discontinuous, but a shocking and intermittent high load acts on the cutting edge. In cutting, while exhibiting the effect of improving the wear resistance and heat resistance of the hard coating layer, and from the viewpoint of improving the crack resistance as a whole layer, in the layer between the Cr highest content point and the Cr lowest content point In order to increase the affinity, it is more preferable that the Cr component concentration change of the composition modulation structure is continuously changed.
≪Kageyama comment: Added Figure 1 (c) and (d). ≫
Here, the maximum content point and the minimum content point will be described. The highest content point of Cr here is the concentration of Cr component at each measurement point measured along the layer thickness direction, where the composition formula of the entire B layer (Al 1-a-bc Cr a Si b Cu c ) Refers to the maximum value in the portion that continuously exceeds the value of the average concentration ratio a of the Cr component in N. When there are a plurality of portions that continuously exceed the value of a, the maximum value in each portion is determined. It is defined as the highest content point in each part. Similarly, the lowest content point here is the average concentration ratio a of the Cr component at each measurement point measured along the layer thickness direction, and the composition formula (Al 1-a-bc Cr a of the entire B layer. The minimum value in the continuous part which becomes less than the value of the average concentration ratio a of the Cr component in Si b Cu c ) N. When there are a plurality of parts which continuously become less than the value of a, the minimum value in each part Is defined as the minimum content point in each part. According to this definition, the highest content point and the lowest content point appear alternately as shown in FIG.
組成変調構造を有するB層におけるCr最高含有点におけるCr濃度:
B層のCr最高含有点(図1(b)参照)におけるCr成分は、B層自体の強度を向上させ、耐クラック性を向上させる作用をもつが、Cr最高含有点におけるCrの含有割合を示すamaxが、1.3a(ただし、aの値は、B層の組成式:(Al1−a−b−cCraSibCuc)におけるCrの平均組成aを示す)より大きくなると、相対的に、Al、Si、Cuの含有割合が減少するため、高硬度を有するCr最低含有点が隣接して存在してもB層としての耐熱性、耐摩耗性の低下は避けられず、一方、各Cr最高含有点におけるCrの含有割合を示すamaxは、その定義により、a以下の値を取らないことから、Cr最高含有点におけるCr濃度amaxの値は、aを超え1.3a以下の値とすることが必要であり、1.03a≦amax≦1.25aを満足することが望ましい。
Cr concentration at the highest Cr content point in the B layer having a composition modulation structure:
The Cr component at the highest Cr content point of the B layer (see FIG. 1B) has the effect of improving the strength of the B layer itself and improving crack resistance, but the Cr content at the highest Cr content point amax indicated, 1.3a (provided that the value of a is, the composition formula of the B layer: (Al 1-a-b -c Cr a Si b Cu c) shows the average composition a of Cr in) the more increases, Relatively, since the content ratio of Al, Si, Cu is reduced, even if the Cr minimum content point having a high hardness exists adjacent to the B layer, the heat resistance and wear resistance are inevitably lowered. On the other hand, amax indicating the content ratio of Cr at each Cr highest content point does not take a value of a or less according to the definition. Therefore, the value of the Cr concentration amax at the Cr highest content point exceeds a and exceeds 1.3a. Must be the value of 1 It is desirable to satisfy the 03a ≦ amax ≦ 1.25a.
組成変調構造を有するB層におけるCr最低含有点におけるCr濃度:
前記のとおり、Cr最高含有点は相対的に高強度を有し、耐クラック性を向上させるが、その反面、相対的に硬度が小さく耐摩耗性に劣り、また耐熱性にも劣るものであるため、このCr最高含有点の耐摩耗性不足、耐熱性不足を補うため、Cr含有割合を相対的に小さくし、これによって層全体としての耐摩耗性、耐熱性を向上させるCr最低含有点(図1(b)参照)を厚さ方向に交互に周期的に形成する。
しかし、Cr最低含有点におけるCrの含有割合を示すaminが、B層の組成式におけるCrの平均組成を示す0.7a未満の値であると、相対的に、Al、Si、Cuの含有割合が高くなるため、高強度を有するCr最高含有点が隣接して存在しても層全体としての耐クラック性の低下が避けられなくなり、耐摩耗性向上効果、耐熱性向上効果を十全に発揮できず、一方、Cr最低含有点におけるCrの含有割合を示すaminは、その定義により、a以上の数値とならないことから、B層のCr最低含有点におけるCr濃度aminの値は、0.7a以上a未満の値とすることが必要であり、0.75a≦amin≦0.97aを満足することが望ましい。
Cr concentration at the lowest Cr content point in the B layer having the composition modulation structure:
As described above, the highest Cr content point has relatively high strength and improves crack resistance, but on the other hand, it has relatively small hardness and poor wear resistance, and also has poor heat resistance. Therefore, in order to compensate for the insufficient wear resistance and insufficient heat resistance of the highest Cr content point, the Cr content ratio is relatively reduced, thereby improving the wear resistance and heat resistance of the entire layer ( 1B) are periodically and alternately formed in the thickness direction.
However, when amin indicating the content ratio of Cr at the lowest Cr content point is a value less than 0.7a indicating the average composition of Cr in the composition formula of the B layer, the content ratio of Al, Si, and Cu is relatively Therefore, even if the highest Cr content point with high strength exists adjacently, the crack resistance of the entire layer is inevitably lowered, and the effect of improving wear resistance and heat resistance is fully exhibited. On the other hand, amin indicating the content ratio of Cr at the Cr minimum content point cannot be a numerical value equal to or more than a by its definition. Therefore, the value of the Cr concentration amin at the Cr minimum content point of the B layer is 0.7a. It is necessary to make the value less than a above, and it is desirable to satisfy 0.75a ≦ amin ≦ 0.97a.
組成変調構造を有するB層のCr最高含有点とCr最低含有点の間隔:
Cr最高含有点とCr最低含有点の間隔が1nm未満では、それぞれの点を明確に区別して形成することが困難であり、その結果、B層に所望の高強度、高温硬さと耐熱性を確保することができなくなり、また、その間隔が100nmを越えるとそれぞれの点がもつ欠点、すなわちCr最低含有点であれば強度不足、Cr最高含有点であれば高温硬さと耐熱性不足がB層内に局部的に現れ、これが原因で切刃にクラックが発生し易くなり、また、摩耗進行が促進されるようになることから、Cr最高含有点とCr最低含有点の間隔は1nm以上100nm以下とする。
Interval between the highest Cr content point and the lowest Cr content point of the B layer having a composition modulation structure:
If the interval between the highest Cr content point and the lowest Cr content point is less than 1 nm, it is difficult to clearly distinguish each point and form the desired high strength, high temperature hardness and heat resistance for the B layer. In addition, when the distance exceeds 100 nm, the disadvantages of the respective points, that is, if the Cr minimum content point is insufficient strength, if the Cr maximum content point is high temperature hardness and insufficient heat resistance in the B layer The cracks are likely to occur in the cutting edge due to this, and the progress of wear is promoted, so the interval between the highest Cr content point and the lowest Cr content point is 1 nm or more and 100 nm or less. To do.

A層、B層の成膜は、例えば、図3に示すように、A層形成用の所定組成のTi−Al合金ターゲットとB層形成用の所定組成のAl−Cr−Si−Cu合金ターゲットを配置したAIP装置内での物理蒸着によって成膜することができる。
Hard coating layer comprising a two-layer structure of A layer and B layer:
The hard coating layer having a two-layer structure of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is formed by first depositing an A layer having a predetermined average composition and a predetermined average layer thickness directly on the surface of the tool substrate, and then forming a predetermined average on the surface of the A layer. It is formed by depositing a B layer having a composition and a predetermined average layer thickness.
For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the A layer and the B layer are formed by a Ti-Al alloy target having a predetermined composition for forming the A layer and an Al-Cr-Si-Cu alloy target having a predetermined composition for forming the B layer. The film can be formed by physical vapor deposition in an AIP apparatus in which is disposed.
A層とB層の交互積層構造からなる硬質被覆層:
図2に示すような交互積層構造からなる本発明の硬質被覆層は、例えば、図3に示すA層形成用の所定組成のTi−Al合金ターゲットとB層形成用の所定組成のAl−Cr−Si−Cu合金ターゲットを配置したAIP装置内での物理蒸着を行うにあたり、工具基体表面直上に、まず、所定平均組成、所定平均層厚のA層を成膜し、次いで、A層の表面に、所定平均組成、所定平均層厚のB層を成膜し、さらに、A層とB層の成膜を、所定の目標層厚になるまで交互に繰り返し行うことにより、合計層数が3層以上のA層とB層の交互積層構造からなる硬質被覆層を形成することができる。
工具基体の表面直上にA層が形成され、また、硬質被覆層の最表面にはB層が形成されている好ましい形態の交互積層構造においては、A層とB層の合計層数は、自ずと4層以上の偶数となる。
Hard coating layer comprising an alternating layered structure of A and B layers:
The hard coating layer of the present invention having an alternately laminated structure as shown in FIG. 2 includes, for example, a Ti—Al alloy target having a predetermined composition for forming an A layer and an Al—Cr having a predetermined composition for forming a B layer shown in FIG. -When performing physical vapor deposition in an AIP apparatus in which a Si-Cu alloy target is disposed, a layer A having a predetermined average composition and a predetermined average layer thickness is formed directly on the surface of the tool base, and then the surface of the A layer In addition, a B layer having a predetermined average composition and a predetermined average layer thickness is formed, and further, the A layer and the B layer are alternately formed repeatedly until a predetermined target layer thickness is obtained. It is possible to form a hard coating layer composed of an alternately laminated structure of A layers and B layers equal to or more than one layer.
In the preferred alternate layered structure in which the A layer is formed directly on the surface of the tool base and the B layer is formed on the outermost surface of the hard coating layer, the total number of layers of the A layer and the B layer is naturally Even number of 4 layers or more.
本発明の被覆工具は、硬質被覆層を、(Ti,Al)N層からなるA層と(Al,Cr,Si,Cu)N層からなるB層とで構成し、かつ、その層構造を、A層とB層の二層構造あるいはA層とB層の交互積層構造として構成することにより、硬質被覆層全体としての耐クラック性と耐摩耗性を同時に向上させることができる。
さらに、前記B層について、Cr成分濃度が周期的に変化する組成変調構造の層として構成することにより、硬質被覆層全体としての耐チッピング性と耐摩耗性をさらに向上させることができる。
したがって、本発明の被覆工具は、高熱発生を伴い、かつ、切刃に対して大きな衝撃的・断続的高負荷がかかる焼入れ鋼などの高硬度鋼の強断続切削加工でも、すぐれた耐クラック性およびすぐれた耐摩耗性を長期に亘って発揮するものである。
In the coated tool of the present invention, the hard coating layer is composed of an A layer composed of a (Ti, Al) N layer and a B layer composed of an (Al, Cr, Si, Cu) N layer, and the layer structure thereof. By configuring as a two-layer structure of A layer and B layer or an alternately laminated structure of A layer and B layer, the crack resistance and wear resistance of the entire hard coating layer can be improved at the same time.
Furthermore, by configuring the B layer as a layer having a composition modulation structure in which the Cr component concentration changes periodically, the chipping resistance and wear resistance of the entire hard coating layer can be further improved.
Therefore, the coated tool of the present invention has excellent crack resistance even in high-strength cutting of hardened steel such as hardened steel, which is accompanied by high heat generation and has a large impact and intermittent high load on the cutting edge. And excellent wear resistance over a long period of time.

In addition, an arc discharge is generated by passing a current of 100 A between the Ti—Al alloy target (cathode electrode) and the anode electrode, thereby bombarding the surface of the tool base, and (c) then reacting in the apparatus. Nitrogen gas is introduced as a gas to obtain the nitrogen pressure shown in Table 2, and the temperature of the tool base rotating while rotating on the rotary table is maintained within the temperature range shown in Table 2 and the DC bias shown in Table 2 A voltage is applied to cause a 100 A current to flow between the Ti-Al alloy target (cathode electrode) for forming the A layer (cathode electrode) and the anode electrode, thereby generating an arc discharge. A layer A having a predetermined composition shown in Table 4 and a target average layer thickness is formed on the surface by vapor deposition. (D) Next, nitrogen gas is introduced as a reaction gas into the apparatus, and the nitrogen pressure shown in Table 2 is set. At the same time, the temperature of the tool base rotating while rotating on the rotary table is maintained within the temperature range shown in Table 2, and a DC bias voltage shown in Table 2 is applied to form the highest Cr-containing point Al-Cr- An arc of 100 A is simultaneously applied between the Si-Cu alloy target (cathode electrode) and the anode electrode, and between the Al-Cr-Si-Cu alloy target (cathode electrode) for forming the lowest Cr content point and the anode electrode.

Coated tools 7-9 (hereinafter referred to as the present invention tools 7-9) were produced.
(F) Further, in the step (d), an arc discharge is generated by flowing a current of 100 A between the Al-Cr-Si-Cu alloy target for forming the highest Cr content point (cathode electrode) and the anode electrode. Then, this is stopped, and then an arc discharge is generated by flowing a current of 100 A between the Al-Cr-Si-Cu alloy target for forming the lowest Cr content point (cathode electrode) and the anode electrode. After the film is formed, the process is stopped and this process is alternately repeated, thereby performing discontinuous (steps) including the predetermined composition, target average layer thickness, composition modulation period, amax, and amin shown in Table 3.

表6に示される結果から、本発明の被覆工具は、硬質被覆層が(Ti,Al)N層からなるA層と(Al,Cr,Si,Cu)N層からなるB層の二層構造または交互積層構造として構成され、さらに、二層構造のB層が、組成変調構造を有する層として構成されることによって、硬質被覆層が靭性と耐摩耗性の両特性を兼ね備えるため、焼入れ鋼などの高硬度鋼の強断続切削加工において、すぐれた耐クラック性と耐摩耗性を示し、長期の使用にわたってすぐれた切削性能を発揮するものである。 From the results shown in Table 6, the coated tool of the present invention has a two-layer structure in which the hard coating layer is an A layer composed of a (Ti, Al) N layer and a B layer composed of an (Al, Cr, Si, Cu) N layer. Alternatively, it is configured as an alternating layered structure, and further, since the B layer having a two-layer structure is configured as a layer having a composition modulation structure, the hard coating layer has both characteristics of toughness and wear resistance.

これに対して、表6に示される結果から、比較例の被覆工具は、本発明で定めた硬質被覆層の組成あるいは層構造から外れたものであるため、クラックの発生・伝播、あるいは、摩耗進行によって、比較的短時間で使用寿命に至ることが明らかである。 On the other hand, from the results shown in Table 6, since the coated tool of the comparative example deviates from the composition or layer structure of the hard coating layer defined in the present invention, crack generation / propagation or wear It is clear that the service life is reached in a relatively short time by progress.
この発明の被覆工具は、焼入れ鋼などの高硬度鋼の強断続切削加工に供した場合に、すぐれた耐クラック性とともに長期の使用に亘ってすぐれた耐摩耗性を発揮するものであるから、切削加工装置のFA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。 The coated tool of the present invention exhibits excellent wear resistance over a long period of use as well as excellent crack resistance when subjected to hard interrupted cutting of hardened steel such as hardened steel.
