本發明係關於一種適於切削工具之構成材料之金屬陶瓷、及以該金屬陶瓷為基材之被覆金屬陶瓷工具。尤其,本發明係關於一種可獲得耐缺損性優異、並且能夠進行被切削材之加工面之品質優異之切削加工之切削工具的金屬陶瓷。The present invention relates to a cermet suitable for a constituent material of a cutting tool, and a coated cermet tool based on the cermet. In particular, the present invention relates to a cermet that can obtain a cutting tool that is excellent in defect resistance and capable of performing cutting work with excellent quality of a machined surface of a workpiece.

自先前以來,作為切削工具之基材材料,利用以碳化鈦(TiC)或碳氮化鈦(Ti(C、N))為主要硬質相且藉由鈷(Co)、鎳(Ni)之類之鐵族元素鍵結而成之金屬陶瓷。於專利文獻1中,揭示有以單相結構之粒子及芯部由周邊部覆蓋之有芯結構之粒子為硬質相的金屬陶瓷。於專利文獻2、3中,揭示有以包含芯部及覆蓋芯部之周邊部之有芯結構之粒子為硬質相的金屬陶瓷。Since the prior art, as a substrate material for cutting tools, titanium carbide (TiC) or titanium carbonitride (Ti (C, N)) has been used as the main hard phase and by cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni) or the like.

以金屬陶瓷為基材之金屬陶瓷工具與包含以碳化鎢(WC)為主要硬質相之超硬合金之工具相比,通常耐磨損性優異、被切削材之加工面(精加工面)漂亮,但韌性較低且耐缺損性較差。因此,容易產生突發性缺損,工具壽命不穩定。近年來,業界要求進一步提高切削加工中之被切削材之加工面之品質,並且提高作為金屬陶瓷工具之弱點之耐缺損性而使工具壽命穩定化。A cermet tool based on cermet is generally superior in wear resistance to a tool containing a superhard alloy containing tungsten carbide (WC) as the main hard phase, and the processed surface (finished surface) of the workpiece is beautiful. However, the toughness is low and the defect resistance is poor. Therefore, sudden defects are easily generated and the tool life is unstable. In recent years, the industry has demanded that the quality of the machined surface of the workpiece in the cutting process be further improved, and the defect resistance as a weak point of the cermet tool is improved to stabilize the tool life.

於硬質相包含有芯結構之粒子之先前的金屬陶瓷中,龜裂容易經由芯部與周邊部之邊界而進展,由於該龜裂而導致耐缺損性下降。尤其,若芯部微細,則難以抑制龜裂之進展,從而難以提高耐缺損性。In the prior cermet in which the hard phase contains the particles having the core structure, the crack easily progresses through the boundary between the core portion and the peripheral portion, and the crack resistance is lowered due to the crack. In particular, when the core portion is fine, it is difficult to suppress the progress of the crack, and it is difficult to improve the defect resistance.

因此,本發明之目的之一在於提供一種金屬陶瓷,其係適於耐缺損性優異、並且可進行加工面之品質優異之切削加工之切削工具之構成材料。又,本發明之其他目的在於提供一種被覆金屬陶瓷工具,其係包括包含上述金屬陶瓷之基材者。Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cermet which is suitable as a constituent material of a cutting tool which is excellent in defect resistance and can be subjected to cutting processing having excellent quality of a machined surface.

The unavoidable impurities include metal elements contained in the raw materials or oxygen or ppm grades mixed in the production steps.

《硬質相》Hard Phase

[組成][composition]

硬質相包含選自週期表4、5、6族金屬之至少1種金屬元素與碳(C)及氮(N)之至少1種元素之化合物,亦即,包含選自上述金屬元素之碳化物、氮化物、碳氮化物及該等之固溶體之至少1種。尤其,本發明金屬陶瓷係至少包含鈦碳氮化物(Ti(C、N))及含有鈦(Ti)之碳氮化物固溶體之Ti(C、N)基金屬陶瓷。若硬質相之含量超過97質量%,則鍵結相過少,故而耐缺損性顯著下降,若未達70質量%,則鍵結相過多,故而硬度顯著下降且耐磨損性劣化。硬質相之含量更好的是80質量%以上且90質量%以下。又,硬質相包含上述第1硬質相、第2硬質相、第3硬質相及第4硬質相之組成或形態相異之四種硬質相。具體而言,包含Ti(C、N)系之硬質相及含有Ti之其他組成之硬質相、及單相結構之硬質相及有芯結構之硬質相。上述四種硬質相之存在狀態係可根據掃描型電子顯微鏡(SEM,scanning electron microscope)之顯微鏡照片之濃淡而容易判別。The hard phase comprises a compound selected from at least one metal element of a metal of Groups 4, 5, and 6 of the periodic table and at least one element of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), that is, a carbide selected from the above metal elements. At least one of a nitride, a carbonitride, and a solid solution thereof. In particular, the cermet of the present invention contains at least titanium carbonitride (Ti(C, N)) and a Ti(C, N)-based cermet containing a carbonitride solid solution of titanium (Ti). When the content of the hard phase is more than 97% by mass, the bonding phase is too small, and the defect resistance is remarkably lowered. If the amount is less than 70% by mass, the bonded phase is too large, so that the hardness is remarkably lowered and the abrasion resistance is deteriorated. The content of the hard phase is more preferably 80% by mass or more and 90% by mass or less. Further, the hard phase includes four hard phases in which the composition or form of the first hard phase, the second hard phase, the third hard phase, and the fourth hard phase are different. Specifically, it includes a hard phase of a Ti (C, N) system and a hard phase containing another composition of Ti, a hard phase of a single phase structure, and a hard phase having a core structure. The existence state of the above four hard phases can be easily determined based on the shading of a microscope photograph of a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

(第1硬質相)(1st hard phase)

構成第1硬質相之粒子係實質上僅由Ti(C、N)構成之單相結構之粒子,或者Ti(C、N)之周圍之一部分由Ti與除Ti以外之選自週期表4、5、6族金屬之1種以上之金屬的複合碳氮化物固溶體覆蓋之粒子,亦即係Ti(C、N)之周圍未由上述複合碳氮化物固溶體完全覆蓋之粒子。第1硬質相與下述第3硬質相及第4硬質相相比而含有較多之Ti,藉此硬度高,且與廣泛使用於被切削材之鋼之反應性低。因此,於金屬陶瓷中存在第1硬質相,藉此尤其可達成耐磨損性及耐熔接性之提高。The particles constituting the first hard phase are substantially only particles of a single-phase structure composed of Ti (C, N), or a part of the periphery of Ti (C, N) is selected from the group consisting of Ti and Ti except for Ti. 5. A composite carbonitride solid solution coated with one or more metals of a group 6 metal, that is, particles surrounded by Ti (C, N) which are not completely covered by the above composite carbonitride solid solution. The first hard phase contains a large amount of Ti compared to the third hard phase and the fourth hard phase described below, whereby the hardness is high and the reactivity with steel widely used for the workpiece is low. Therefore, the presence of the first hard phase in the cermet can improve the wear resistance and the weld resistance.

(第2硬質相)(2nd hard phase)

構成第2硬質相之粒子係有芯結構之粒子,其芯部實質上包含Ti(C、N)(以原子比例計,Ti(C、N)佔芯部全體之95%以上),且覆蓋該芯部整個周圍之周邊部包含Ti與除Ti以外之選自週期表4、5、6族金屬之至少1種金屬的複合碳氮化物固溶體。周邊部之具體組成可列舉例如:(Ti、W、Mo)(C、N)、(Ti、W、Nb)(C、N)、(Ti、W、Mo、Nb)(C、N)、(Ti、W、Mo、Nb、Zr)(C、N)等。第2硬質相係與第1硬質相不同而存在遍及芯部整個周圍與鍵結相具有良好之潤濕性之周邊部,故而可降低金屬陶瓷中產生孔穴而實現組織之均質化,其結果,可使硬度穩定化。又,藉由上述組織之均質化,有望進一步提高耐缺損性之類之韌性。因此,藉由在金屬陶瓷中存在第2硬質相,尤其可使耐磨損性及耐缺損性之效果穩定。The particles constituting the second hard phase are particles having a core structure, and the core portion substantially contains Ti (C, N) (Ti (C, N) accounts for 95% or more of the entire core portion in terms of atomic ratio) and covers The peripheral portion of the entire periphery of the core includes a composite carbonitride solid solution of Ti and at least one metal selected from the group consisting of metals of Groups 4, 5, and 6 of the periodic table other than Ti. Specific examples of the peripheral portion include (Ti, W, Mo) (C, N), (Ti, W, Nb) (C, N), (Ti, W, Mo, Nb) (C, N), (Ti, W, Mo, Nb, Zr) (C, N) and the like. The second hard phase is different from the first hard phase, and has a peripheral portion having good wettability with the bonding phase over the entire periphery of the core. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the generation of voids in the cermet and achieve homogenization of the structure. As a result, The hardness can be stabilized. Moreover, by the homogenization of the above-mentioned organization, it is expected to further improve the toughness such as defect resistance. Therefore, by the presence of the second hard phase in the cermet, the effect of abrasion resistance and defect resistance can be stabilized.

(第3硬質相)(3rd hard phase)

構成第3硬質相之粒子係芯部及周邊部包含相同元素之有芯結構之粒子,且包含至少含有Ti與W之複合碳氮化物固溶體。且,該粒子之芯部之W濃度大於周邊部之W濃度。具體組成可列舉例如:(Ti、W)(C、N)、(Ti、W、Mo)(C、N)、(Ti、W、Nb)(C、N)、(Ti、W、Mo、Nb)(C、N)等。第3硬質相係與第1硬質相或第2硬質相相比而含有較多之W,藉此有望於維持高硬度之狀態下,提高導熱率。因此,可提高熱強度、耐熱龜裂性、耐缺損性、耐塑性變形性。The particle-based core portion and the peripheral portion constituting the third hard phase include particles having a core structure of the same element, and a composite carbonitride solid solution containing at least Ti and W. Further, the W concentration of the core portion of the particle is larger than the W concentration of the peripheral portion. Specific examples thereof include (Ti, W) (C, N), (Ti, W, Mo) (C, N), (Ti, W, Nb) (C, N), (Ti, W, Mo, Nb) (C, N) and the like. The third hard phase system contains a large amount of W compared to the first hard phase or the second hard phase, and it is expected that the thermal conductivity is improved while maintaining high hardness. Therefore, heat strength, heat crack resistance, defect resistance, and plastic deformation resistance can be improved.

(第4硬質相)(4th hard phase)

構成第4硬質相之粒子係單相結構之粒子,其包含Ti與除Ti以外之選自週期表4、5、6族金屬之至少1種金屬的複合碳氮化物固溶體。該粒子係與第3硬質相不同而不具有芯部與周邊部之明確邊界,粒子全體包含均勻之組成。作為構成第4硬質相之除Ti以外之金屬,具代表性的是可列舉W。The particles constituting the fourth hard phase are particles of a single-phase structure, and include a composite carbonitride solid solution of Ti and at least one metal selected from the group consisting of metals of Groups 4, 5, and 6 of the periodic table other than Ti. This particle system is different from the third hard phase and does not have a clear boundary between the core portion and the peripheral portion, and the entire particle contains a uniform composition. As a metal other than Ti which comprises a 4th hard phase, W is mentioned typically.

第4硬質相之具體組成可列舉例如:(Ti、W)(C、N)、(Ti、W、Mo)(C、N)、(Ti、W、Nb)(C、N)、(Ti、W、Mo、Nb)(C、N)。尤其,於第4硬質相含有W之情形時,並非如第3硬質相般W濃度有較大變化(觀察不到W之分布),遍及第4硬質相全體均勻地存在W。因此,藉由在金屬陶瓷中存在第4硬質相,雖然硬度少許降低,但硬度均勻而使得龜裂難以於硬質相內進展。除此以外,有望提高導熱率,故而可提高耐熱龜裂性及耐缺損性。Specific examples of the fourth hard phase include (Ti, W) (C, N), (Ti, W, Mo) (C, N), (Ti, W, Nb) (C, N), (Ti) , W, Mo, Nb) (C, N). In particular, when the fourth hard phase contains W, the W concentration does not largely change as in the third hard phase (W distribution is not observed), and W is uniformly present throughout the fourth hard phase. Therefore, by the presence of the fourth hard phase in the cermet, although the hardness is slightly lowered, the hardness is uniform and it is difficult for the crack to progress in the hard phase. In addition to this, it is expected to improve the thermal conductivity, so that the heat crack resistance and the defect resistance can be improved.

於硬質相實質上僅由第1硬質相及第2硬質相構成之情形時,難以提高耐缺損性。於硬質相實質上僅由第1硬質相及第3硬質相構成之情形時,與鍵結相之潤濕性變差,故而容易產生孔穴,耐缺損性差。於硬質相實質上僅由第1硬質相及第4硬質相構成之情形時,與鍵結相之潤濕性亦差,故而容易產生孔穴,無法獲得足夠之硬度,並且耐缺損性差。When the hard phase is substantially composed of only the first hard phase and the second hard phase, it is difficult to improve the defect resistance. When the hard phase is substantially composed of only the first hard phase and the third hard phase, the wettability with the bonded phase is deteriorated, so that voids are likely to occur and the defect resistance is poor. When the hard phase consists essentially of only the first hard phase and the fourth hard phase, the wettability with the bonded phase is also poor, so that voids are likely to occur, sufficient hardness cannot be obtained, and defect resistance is poor.

於硬質相實質上僅由第2硬質相及第3硬質相構成之情形時,難以抑制先前以來之問題、即龜裂經由芯部與周邊部之邊界而進展,從而無法獲得令人期待之耐缺損性。於硬質相實質上僅由第2硬質相及第4硬質相構成之情形時,無法期待耐缺損性之提高。When the hard phase is substantially composed of only the second hard phase and the third hard phase, it is difficult to suppress the problem that the crack has progressed through the boundary between the core portion and the peripheral portion, and the desired resistance cannot be obtained. Defective. When the hard phase is substantially composed of only the second hard phase and the fourth hard phase, the improvement of the defect resistance cannot be expected.

於硬質相實質上包含第1硬質相、第2硬質相及第3硬質相且不包含第4硬質相之情形時,含有W之第3硬質相之存在比例相對性地增加。若存在大量W,則切削中容易與被切削材(尤其鋼)進行反應,容易產生熔接。因此,導致被切削材之加工面劣化。亦即,除上述第1硬質相、第2硬質相及第3硬質相以外,還存在第4硬質相,藉此被切削材之加工面之品質(光澤性)優異,並且可穩定保持該優異之品質。When the hard phase substantially includes the first hard phase, the second hard phase, and the third hard phase and does not include the fourth hard phase, the ratio of the presence of the third hard phase containing W relatively increases. If a large amount of W is present, it is easy to react with the workpiece (especially steel) during cutting, and welding is likely to occur. Therefore, the processed surface of the workpiece is deteriorated. In other words, in addition to the first hard phase, the second hard phase, and the third hard phase, the fourth hard phase is present, whereby the quality of the processed surface of the workpiece (glossiness) is excellent, and the excellent quality can be stably maintained. Quality.

於硬質相實質上包含第1硬質相、第2硬質相及第4硬質相且不包含第3硬質相之情形時,雖然有望提高導熱率,但會引起硬度下降,從而龜裂容易進展,故而缺損產生率增高。亦即,除上述第1硬質相、第2硬質相及第4硬質相以外,還存在第3硬質相,藉此可進一步提高導熱率,降低熱龜裂或該龜裂之進展,從而可有效率地提高耐缺損性。When the hard phase substantially includes the first hard phase, the second hard phase, and the fourth hard phase and does not include the third hard phase, although the thermal conductivity is expected to increase, the hardness is lowered and the crack is likely to progress. The rate of defect production increased. In other words, in addition to the first hard phase, the second hard phase, and the fourth hard phase, the third hard phase is present, whereby the thermal conductivity can be further improved, and the thermal cracking or the progress of the crack can be reduced. Improve defect resistance efficiently.

於硬質相實質上包含第2硬質相、第3硬質相及第4硬質相且不包含第1硬質相之情形時,難以獲得藉由第1硬質相之存在而提高所期待之耐磨損性及耐熔接性之效果,尤其被切削材之加工面之光澤性較差。When the hard phase substantially includes the second hard phase, the third hard phase, and the fourth hard phase and does not include the first hard phase, it is difficult to obtain the desired wear resistance by the presence of the first hard phase. And the effect of the weld resistance, especially the gloss of the machined surface of the workpiece is poor.

於硬質相實質上包含第1硬質相、第3硬質相及第4硬質相且不包含第2硬質相之情形時,亦即,作為金屬陶瓷中之硬質相之主成分之Ti(C、N)系硬質相僅為第1硬質相之情形時,如上所述與鍵結相之潤濕性極端惡化而容易產生孔穴,故而導致機械特性劣化。When the hard phase substantially includes the first hard phase, the third hard phase, and the fourth hard phase, and does not include the second hard phase, that is, Ti (C, N) which is a main component of the hard phase in the cermet When the hard phase is only the first hard phase, as described above, the wettability with the bonded phase is extremely deteriorated, and voids are likely to occur, so that mechanical properties are deteriorated.

本發明金屬陶瓷係除第1硬質相及第2硬質相以外,尤其同時存在第3硬質相與第4硬質相,藉此既可維持熱強度,又可抑制與鋼產生反應。因此,以本發明金屬陶瓷為基材之切削工具將有望提高對熱塑性變形之耐性、耐熱龜裂性及耐熔接性,故而期待可提高被切削材之加工面之性狀。In addition to the first hard phase and the second hard phase, the cermet of the present invention has a third hard phase and a fourth hard phase in particular, whereby the heat strength can be maintained and the reaction with steel can be suppressed. Therefore, the cutting tool using the cermet according to the present invention as a base material is expected to have improved resistance to thermoplastic deformation, heat crack resistance, and weld resistance, and therefore it is expected to improve the properties of the machined surface of the workpiece.

[粒徑][particle size]

硬質相較好的是混有粗大粒子與微細粒子,尤其混有粒徑為1 μm以下之微粒與粒徑超過1 μm且為3 μm以下之粗粒。更好的是相對於硬質相之總面積而為60%以上且90%以下之硬質相係包含上述粗粒,硬質相之剩餘部分係包含上述微粒。又,較好的是上述粗粒係包含上述第1硬質相、第2硬質相、第3硬質相及第4硬質相,上述微粒係實質上包含第1硬質相及第2硬質相。The hard phase is preferably a mixture of coarse particles and fine particles, in particular, fine particles having a particle diameter of 1 μm or less and coarse particles having a particle diameter of more than 1 μm and not more than 3 μm. More preferably, the hard phase of 60% or more and 90% or less with respect to the total area of the hard phase contains the above coarse particles, and the remainder of the hard phase contains the above fine particles. Further, it is preferable that the coarse particles include the first hard phase, the second hard phase, the third hard phase, and the fourth hard phase, and the fine particles substantially include the first hard phase and the second hard phase.

於如此之混粒組織中,以填埋形成於粗大粒子間之間隙之方式存在微細粒子,藉此可實現硬度之提高或破壞韌性之提高。粗大粒子之粒徑超過1 μm且微細粒子之粒徑為1 μm以下,藉此於粗大粒子之間設置有足夠之間隙,可使微細粒子介在於該間隙中,故而可獲得提高上述硬度或破壞韌性之效果。又,粗大粒子之粒徑為3 μm以下,藉此存在於粒子之間之鍵結相不會過剩,從而可降低因較大之鍵結相池之存在所造成之硬度之下降或破壞韌性之劣化。微細粒子之粒徑尤其好的是0.1 μm以上且0.8 μm以下。In such a mixed structure, fine particles are present in such a manner that a gap is formed between the coarse particles by filling, whereby an improvement in hardness or an improvement in fracture toughness can be achieved. When the particle size of the coarse particles exceeds 1 μm and the particle diameter of the fine particles is 1 μm or less, a sufficient gap is provided between the coarse particles, and fine particles can be interposed in the gap, so that the hardness or the damage can be improved. The effect of resilience. Further, the particle size of the coarse particles is 3 μm or less, whereby the bonding phase existing between the particles is not excessive, so that the decrease in hardness or the deterioration of fracture toughness due to the existence of a large bonded phase cell can be reduced. . The particle diameter of the fine particles is particularly preferably 0.1 μm or more and 0.8 μm or less.

又,上述粗粒之面積率為60%以上,藉此適當地存在粗粒,故而抑制龜裂進展之效果較大,可提高韌性。又,上述粗粒之面積率為90%以下,藉此於形成於粗大粒子之間之間隙內存在充足之微細粒子,從而可抑制硬度之提高或龜裂之進展。進而,藉由適當地存在微細粒子,可減小金屬陶瓷之最表面之表面粗糙度,從而可獲得優異之切削性能。上述粗粒之面積率之範圍更好的是70%以上且85%以下。進而,相對於微細粒子之總面積為80%以上、較好的是90%以上、更好的是大致全部包含第1硬質相及第2硬質相,藉此存在充足之高硬度且微細之Ti(C、N),從而可提高耐磨損性。本發明中規定之粒徑、面積及面積率之計算方法將於下文中進行敍述。Further, since the area ratio of the coarse particles is 60% or more, since coarse particles are appropriately present, the effect of suppressing the progress of cracks is large, and the toughness can be improved. Further, since the area ratio of the coarse particles is 90% or less, sufficient fine particles are present in the gap formed between the coarse particles, and the improvement in hardness or the progress of cracking can be suppressed. Further, by appropriately presenting the fine particles, the surface roughness of the outermost surface of the cermet can be reduced, and excellent cutting performance can be obtained. The range of the area ratio of the above coarse particles is more preferably 70% or more and 85% or less. Further, the total area of the fine particles is 80% or more, preferably 90% or more, and more preferably substantially all of the first hard phase and the second hard phase are contained, whereby there is sufficient high hardness and fine Ti (C, N), thereby improving wear resistance. The calculation method of the particle size, area and area ratio prescribed in the present invention will be described below.

硬質相粒子之粒徑及面積率之調整係可藉由調整例如原料粉末之大小或添加量、製造條件(粉碎時間或煅燒條件等)而進行。若延長粉碎時間,則存在金屬陶瓷中之硬質相粒子變微細之傾向,若煅燒溫度高,則存在金屬陶瓷中之硬質相粒子變粗大之傾向。又,即便延長粉碎時間而使粉末變微細,若提高煅燒溫度,則亦存在如下情形,即,粒子成長而存在粗大之硬質相粒子。The adjustment of the particle diameter and the area ratio of the hard phase particles can be carried out by, for example, adjusting the size or addition amount of the raw material powder, the production conditions (pulverization time, calcination conditions, etc.). When the pulverization time is prolonged, the hard phase particles in the cermet tend to be fine, and if the calcination temperature is high, the hard phase particles in the cermet tend to become coarse. Further, even if the pulverization time is prolonged to make the powder fine, if the firing temperature is increased, there is a case where the particles grow to have coarse hard phase particles.

相對於硬質相之總面積,將粒徑超過1 μm且為3 μm以下(粗粒)之第1硬質相之面積率設為S1,並將粒徑超過1 μm且為3 μm以下(粗粒)之第2硬質相之面積率設為S2時,(S1+S2)較好的是滿足0.1以上且0.5以下。若(S1+S2)為0.1以上,則難以與被切削材熔接,降低於被切削材之表面上產生微小之缺損,可提高被切削材之加工面之性狀,除此以外,藉由耐熔接性之提高而降低熔接所造成之磨損,可提高工具之耐磨損性。又,藉由使(S1+S2)為0.5以下,可抑制高硬度化所造成之韌性之下降,從而難以引起缺口或碎屑。(S1+S2)之範圍更好的是0.3以上且0.5以下。The area ratio of the first hard phase having a particle diameter of more than 1 μm and 3 μm or less (coarse grain) is set to S1 with respect to the total area of the hard phase, and the particle diameter exceeds 1 μm and is 3 μm or less (coarse grain) When the area ratio of the second hard phase is S2, (S1+S2) preferably satisfies 0.1 or more and 0.5 or less. When (S1+S2) is 0.1 or more, it is difficult to weld to the workpiece, and it is less likely to cause a slight defect on the surface of the workpiece, thereby improving the properties of the machined surface of the workpiece, and by welding resistance. The increase in properties reduces the wear caused by welding, which improves the wear resistance of the tool. In addition, when (S1+S2) is 0.5 or less, it is possible to suppress a decrease in toughness due to the increase in hardness, and it is difficult to cause a chipping or chipping. The range of (S1+S2) is more preferably 0.3 or more and 0.5 or less.

又,將粒徑超過1 μm且為3 μm以下(粗粒)之第3硬質相之面積率設為S3,並將粒徑超過1 μm且為3 μm以下(粗粒)之第4硬質相之面積率設為S4時,若S1/(S1+S2)滿足0.1以上且0.4以下及S3/(S3+S4)滿足0.4以上且0.9以下,則可進一步兼顧耐磨損性與耐缺損性,並且可進一步提高被切削材之表面光澤。此時,S1/(S1+S2)之範圍更好的是0.3以上且0.4以下,S3/(S3+S4)之範圍更好的是0.7以上且0.9以下。In addition, the area ratio of the third hard phase having a particle diameter of more than 1 μm and 3 μm or less (coarse grain) is S3, and the fourth hard phase having a particle diameter of more than 1 μm and 3 μm or less (coarse grain) is obtained. When the area ratio is S4, if S1/(S1+S2) satisfies 0.1 or more and 0.4 or less, and S3/(S3+S4) satisfies 0.4 or more and 0.9 or less, the wear resistance and the defect resistance can be further improved. Moreover, the surface gloss of the workpiece can be further improved. In this case, the range of S1/(S1+S2) is more preferably 0.3 or more and 0.4 or less, and the range of S3/(S3+S4) is more preferably 0.7 or more and 0.9 or less.

將粒徑為1 μm以下(微粒)之第1硬質相之面積設為SS1,並將粒徑為1 μm以下(微粒)之第2硬質相之面積設為SS2時,SS1/(SS1+SS2)較好的是0.5以上且0.9以下。若SS1/(SS1+SS2)為0.5以上,則與第2硬質相相比,存在較多之微小的第1硬質相,藉此有望顯著提高耐磨損性。又,若SS1/(SS1+SS2)為0.9以下,則於微細硬質相中第1硬質相所佔之比例不會過剩,可抑制因微細之第1硬質相之過剩存在所造成之潤濕性之下降、及伴隨該潤濕性之下降之微小孔穴之產生而引起硬度劣化的可能性。SS1/(SS1+SS2)之範圍更好的是0.55以上且0.7以下。When the area of the first hard phase having a particle diameter of 1 μm or less (fine particles) is SS1, and the area of the second hard phase having a particle diameter of 1 μm or less (fine particles) is SS2, SS1/(SS1+SS2) It is preferably 0.5 or more and 0.9 or less. When SS1/(SS1+SS2) is 0.5 or more, there are many minute first hard phases as compared with the second hard phase, and it is expected that the wear resistance is remarkably improved. In addition, when SS1/(SS1+SS2) is 0.9 or less, the proportion of the first hard phase in the fine hard phase is not excessive, and the wettability due to the excessive presence of the fine first hard phase can be suppressed. The decrease in hardness and the possibility of deterioration of hardness due to the occurrence of minute voids due to the decrease in wettability. The range of SS1/(SS1+SS2) is more preferably 0.55 or more and 0.7 or less.

相對於金屬陶瓷之總面積(硬質相+鍵結相),第3硬質相之面積與第4硬質相之面積之總計面積率較好的是大於40%。於該情形時,熱特性穩定,故而可提高耐熱龜裂性,進而可提高耐缺損性。尤其,該等第3硬質相及第4硬質相較好的是如上所述大體上為粗粒。The total area ratio of the area of the third hard phase to the area of the fourth hard phase is preferably more than 40% with respect to the total area of the cermet (hard phase + bonded phase). In this case, since the thermal characteristics are stabilized, the heat crack resistance can be improved, and the defect resistance can be improved. In particular, the third hard phase and the fourth hard phase are preferably substantially coarse particles as described above.

《鍵結相》Bond phase

鍵結相係以選自鈷(Co)、鐵(Fe)、鎳(Ni)之類之鐵族金屬之至少1種金屬為主成分。所謂「主成分」,係指鍵結相實質上僅由選自上述鐵族金屬中之1種以上之金屬構成之情形,或者於選自上述鐵族金屬中之1種以上之金屬中以相對於鍵結相之總質量為0.1質量%以上且20質量%以下固溶有上述硬質相之構成元素而成的合金,亦即鍵結相之80質量%以上包含鐵族金屬之情形。於鍵結相固溶有硬質相之構成元素之情形時,存在如下傾向,即,藉由固溶強化而可提高韌性,從而可提高耐缺損性。又,若鍵結相之主成分(鍵結相之總質量之80質量%以上)為Co及Ni之至少一者,則與硬質相之潤濕性高,並且耐腐蝕性優異,故而成為更適於切削工具之構成材料之金屬陶瓷。The bonding phase is mainly composed of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), and nickel (Ni). The term "main component" means a case where the bonding phase is substantially composed only of one or more metals selected from the group consisting of the above-mentioned iron group metals, or a metal selected from one or more selected from the group consisting of the above iron group metals. The alloy in which the total mass of the bonded phase is 0.1% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less or less is a constituent element of the hard phase, that is, 80% by mass or more of the bonded phase contains an iron group metal. When the constituent phase of the hard phase is solid-dissolved in the bonded phase, there is a tendency that the toughness can be improved by solid solution strengthening, and the defect resistance can be improved. In addition, when at least one of Co and Ni is a main component of the bonded phase (80% by mass or more of the total mass of the bonded phase), the wettability with the hard phase is high, and the corrosion resistance is excellent, so that it becomes more A cermet suitable for the constituent material of the cutting tool.

於鍵結相中包含Ni及Co之雙方之情形時,尤其將鍵結相中之Ni與Co之存在質量比(Ni質量相對於Co質量之比)設為Ni/Co時,Ni/Co較好的是0.7以上且1.5以下。Ni/Co滿足0.7以上且1.5以下,藉此可降低潤濕性之下降而維持高韌性,並且可降低硬度之下降而維持高強度。Ni/Co尤其好的是0.8以上且1.2以下。Ni/Co之調整係可藉由調整例如原料中使用之Co粉末或Ni粉末之添加量而進行。When the bonding phase includes both Ni and Co, especially when the mass ratio of Ni to Co in the bonded phase (ratio of Ni mass to Co mass) is Ni/Co, Ni/Co is compared. Preferably, it is 0.7 or more and 1.5 or less. Ni/Co satisfies 0.7 or more and 1.5 or less, whereby the decrease in wettability can be reduced, high toughness can be maintained, and the decrease in hardness can be reduced to maintain high strength. Ni/Co is particularly preferably 0.8 or more and 1.2 or less. The adjustment of Ni/Co can be carried out by adjusting, for example, the addition amount of Co powder or Ni powder used in the raw material.

[其他含有元素][Other elements included]

本發明金屬陶瓷亦可含有鉬(Mo)。於含有Mo之情形時,尤其存在容易形成第2硬質相之傾向。因此,可提高硬質相與鍵結相之潤濕性,故而鍵結相可充分存在於構成硬質相之粒子周圍,可提高韌性。Mo含量較好的是0.01質量%以上且2.0質量%以下。若Mo含量為0.01質量%以上,則如上所述作為金屬陶瓷全體提高潤濕性,可提高硬度或韌性,藉由設為2.0質量%以下,可抑制難以形成第1硬質相而第2硬質相、第3硬質相相對性地增多之情形。因此,可抑制先前以來之問題、即龜裂經由硬質相之芯部與周邊部之邊界而進展,從而可獲得令人期待之耐缺損性。Mo含量更好的是0.5質量%以上且1.5質量%以下。亦可不含有Mo。The cermet of the present invention may also contain molybdenum (Mo). In the case where Mo is contained, there is a tendency that the second hard phase is easily formed. Therefore, the wettability of the hard phase and the bonded phase can be improved, so that the bonded phase can sufficiently exist around the particles constituting the hard phase, and the toughness can be improved. The Mo content is preferably 0.01% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less. When the Mo content is 0.01% by mass or more, the wettability is improved as a whole of the cermet, and the hardness and toughness can be improved as described above. When the Mo content is 2.0% by mass or less, it is possible to suppress the formation of the first hard phase and the second hard phase. The third hard phase is relatively increased. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the problem that the crack has progressed through the boundary between the core portion and the peripheral portion of the hard phase, and it is possible to obtain the desired defect resistance. The Mo content is more preferably 0.5% by mass or more and 1.5% by mass or less. It may or may not contain Mo.

The cermet of the present invention can be produced by using the following raw material powder and adjusting the pulverization and mixing time or the calcination conditions.

《原料之準備》Preparation of raw materials

原料使用包含選自週期表4、5、6族金屬之至少1種金屬、與碳(C)及氮(N)之至少1種元素之化合物的化合物粉末,及構成鍵結相之粉末,具代表性的是鐵族金屬粉末。藉由使用微細粉末與相對粗大之粉末作為該等粉末,可容易獲得如上所述之具有混合著粗粒與微粒之硬質相之金屬陶瓷。粉末之大小係考慮硬質相之粒子大小而適當地選擇即可。As the raw material, a compound powder containing at least one metal selected from the group consisting of metals of Groups 4, 5, and 6 of the periodic table, and a compound of at least one of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), and a powder constituting the bonded phase are used.

By using a fine powder and a relatively coarse powder as the powder, a cermet having a hard phase in which coarse particles and fine particles are mixed as described above can be easily obtained. The size of the powder may be appropriately selected in consideration of the particle size of the hard phase.

為生成第1硬質相及第2硬質相,例如使用Ti(C、N)粉末。就Ti(C、N)粉末而言,先前有生成海綿Ti作為起始材料者,但尤其若使用生成有TiO2 作為起始材料之Ti(C、N)粉末,則存在容易形成微粒之第1硬質相之傾向。又,如上所述若一併使用含有Mo之化合物粉末,則存在容易形成第2硬質相之傾向。為生成第3硬質相而使用含有W之粉末,例如WC粉末。為生成第4硬質相而使用含有Ti與除Ti以外之週期表4、5、6族金屬之化合物粉末,例如使用(Ti、W)(C、N)粉末。藉由使用此種化合物粉末,可容易獲得第4硬質相之粒子,亦即,可容易獲得均勻地固溶有Ti與除Ti以外之週期表4、5、6族金屬之單相結構之粒子。To form the first hard phase and the second hard phase, for example, Ti (C, N) powder is used.

Moreover, when the compound powder containing Mo is used together as described above, there is a tendency that the second hard phase is easily formed.

《粉碎及混合》"Crush and Mix"

若延長粉碎時間,則可使粉末變得微細,存在金屬陶瓷中容易生成微細之硬質相粒子之傾向。但若粉碎時間過長,則存在再凝聚或者變得過於微細而難以形成成為核之化合物之顧慮。粉碎及混合時間較好的是12小時以上且36小時以下。When the pulverization time is prolonged, the powder can be made fine, and there is a tendency that fine hard phase particles are easily formed in the cermet. However, if the pulverization time is too long, there is a concern that it re-agglomerates or becomes too fine to form a compound which becomes a core.

《煅燒》Calcination

若過度提高煅燒溫度,則存在如下顧慮,即,構成硬質相之粒子成長而於金屬陶瓷中容易存在較多之粗大粒子,或者尤其難以形成第4硬質相之粒子。因此,煅燒溫度較好的是1400℃以上且1600℃以下。又,於煅燒步驟中,於將以規定時間保持煅燒溫度來進行加熱之成形體進行冷卻時,較好的是於真空或氬(Ar)之惰性氣體環境中進行冷卻。於為惰性氣體環境之情形時,尤其好的是設為665 Pa以上且6650 Pa以下之相對低壓。又,若加快冷卻速度,具體而言設為10℃/min以上,則存在容易生成第4硬質相之傾向。When the calcination temperature is excessively increased, there is a concern that particles constituting the hard phase grow, and a large number of coarse particles are likely to be present in the cermet, or it is particularly difficult to form particles of the fourth hard phase. Therefore, the calcination temperature is preferably 1400 ° C or more and 1600 ° C or less. Further, in the calcination step, when the molded body which is heated while maintaining the calcination temperature for a predetermined period of time is cooled, it is preferably cooled in a vacuum or an inert gas atmosphere of argon (Ar). In the case of an inert gas atmosphere, it is particularly preferable to set a relatively low pressure of 665 Pa or more and 6650 Pa or less.

There is a bonded phase 10 between the particles. On the other hand, in the calcined body of Sample Nos. 100 to 105, at least one of black single particles, black core double particles, white core double particles, and gray particles was not observed.

藉由TEM-EDX(transmission electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer,穿透式電子顯微鏡-能量色散X射線光譜儀)分析對上述各粒子之組成進行調查,結果得知黑色單粒子包含Ti(C、N);黑芯雙重粒子之芯部包含Ti(C、N),且覆蓋芯部之周邊部包含含有Ti與W、Nb、Ta及Mo之1種以上之金屬的複合碳氮化物固溶體;白芯雙重粒子包含含有Ti與W、Nb、Ta及Mo之1種以上之金屬的複合碳氮化物固溶體,且芯部之W濃度高於覆蓋該芯部之周邊部者;灰色粒子包含含有Ti與W、Nb、Ta及Mo之1種以上之金屬的複合碳氮化物固溶體。又,灰色粒子係觀察不到芯部與周邊部之明確邊界。另外,硬質相之成分分析,除TEM-EDX分析以外,還可使用EPMA(electron probe micro analyser,電子探針微量分析器)、螢光X射線、ICP-AES(Inductively Coupled Plasm Atomic Emission Spectroscopy,感應耦合電漿原子發射光譜分析儀)等進行分析。The composition of each of the above particles was investigated by TEM-EDX (Transmission Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer), and it was found that the black single particle contained Ti (C, N); the core portion of the black core double particle contains Ti (C, N), and the peripheral portion covering the core portion contains a composite carbonitride solid solution containing one or more metals of Ti, W, Nb, Ta, and Mo The white core double particle includes a composite carbonitride solid solution containing one or more metals of Ti, W, Nb, Ta, and Mo, and the W concentration of the core is higher than the periphery of the core; gray particles A composite carbonitride solid solution containing one or more metals of Ti, W, Nb, Ta, and Mo.

於上述粒子之間存在鍵結相,藉由TEM-EDX分析進行調查,結果得知鍵結相實質上包含Co及Ni。於樣品中,有於鍵結相中固溶著數質量%左右之硬質相之構成元素者。又,進行分析之結果存在如下傾向,即,煅燒體中之Co含量與原料之Co粉末之添加量大致相同,煅燒體中之Ni含量與原料之Ni粉末之添加量相比減少0.2~0.3%左右。根據該情形,可認為各樣品(煅燒體)中之硬質相之含量係與減去原料中使用之Co粉末及Ni粉末之添加量所得之量(86質量%左右)大致相等。進而,求得存在於鍵結相中之Ni與Co之存在質量比Ni/Co。將其結果示於表2。又,藉由ICP分析,對各樣品(煅燒體)之Mo含量(質量%)進行調查。亦將其結果示於表2。A bonded phase exists between the above particles, and investigation by TEM-EDX analysis revealed that the bonded phase substantially contains Co and Ni. In the sample, there is a constituent element of a hard phase in which about several mass% of solid phase is dissolved in the bonded phase. Further, as a result of the analysis, there is a tendency that the Co content in the calcined body is substantially the same as the addition amount of the Co powder of the raw material, and the Ni content in the calcined body is reduced by 0.2 to 0.3% as compared with the addition amount of the Ni powder of the raw material. about. In this case, it is considered that the content of the hard phase in each sample (calcined body) is substantially equal to the amount obtained by subtracting the addition amount of the Co powder and the Ni powder used in the raw material (about 86% by mass). Further, the existence mass ratio Ni/Co of Ni and Co existing in the bonded phase was determined. The results are shown in Table 2. Further, the Mo content (% by mass) of each sample (calcined body) was investigated by ICP analysis. The results are also shown in Table 2.

The particle size is set to the Martin diameter (the length of the line segment in which the projected area of the particles when the particles are projected onto the plane from the fixed direction is halved). Specifically, the length of the line segment in which the area of the particles present in the microscope photograph is halved is defined by the micrograph of the cross section of the observed calcined body. The particle having the core structure is obtained by determining the particle diameter in a state including the peripheral portion. As a result, particles having a particle diameter of more than 3 μm were hardly observed in any of the samples, and thus the hard phase substantially contained particles having a particle diameter of 3 μm or less.

Further, in the first hard phase, the second hard phase, the third hard phase, and the fourth hard phase, the total area of the particles having a particle diameter of more than 1 μm and 3 μm or less is obtained (hereinafter, the total area of these is equal to They are called coarse grain area (1), coarse grain area (2), coarse grain area (3), and coarse grain area (4), and the total area of particles having a particle diameter of 1 μm or less is determined for the first hard phase. (hereinafter, the total area is referred to as a particle area (1)), and the total area of particles having a particle diameter of 1 μm or less is calculated for the second hard phase (hereinafter, the total area is referred to as a particle area (2)). The total area of the hard phase is set for the total area of the coarse grain area (1), the coarse grain area (2), the coarse grain area (3), the coarse grain area (4), the particle area (1), and the particle area (2). The total ratio of the coarse-grained areas (1) to (4) to the total area of the hard phase, that is, the coarse-grained area ratio "total coarse/hard phase" (%) is shown in Table 4. Further, the coarse particle area (1), the coarse particle area (2), the coarse particle area (3), the coarse particle area (4), the particle area (1), and the particle area (2) are relative to the total area of the hard phase.
