【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、立方晶窒化硼素(cBN)を主成分とした焼結体(以下、cBN焼結体と称する)を母材とする切削工具材料の改良に関するものであり、耐摩耗性、耐溶着性に優れる表面被覆cBN焼結体工具に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
cBNは、ダイヤモンドに次ぐ高い硬度を有する材料で、cBN焼結体は、主に金属の切削工具として使用されている。そしてcBN焼結体での切削において耐摩耗性をさらに向上させるため、たとえば特開昭59−134603号公報、特開昭61−183187号公報、特開平1−96083号公報、特開平1−96084号公報に開示されているように、cBN焼結体にTiN(窒化チタン)などの各種耐摩耗層を被覆する方法が提案されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
近年、加工能率を一層向上させるため、切削速度がより高速になってきており、そのことに伴い工具には一層の耐摩耗性、耐酸化性が要求されるようになってきた。このような背景の下、従来の被覆技術だけでは、近年の高速切削用途には問題があり、被覆膜の耐摩耗性がさらに重要となってきた。
【0004】
それゆえ本発明の目的は、高速切削においても良好な耐摩耗性を有する表面被覆cBN焼結体工具を提供することである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本願発明者らは、被覆膜の耐摩耗性の向上を達成するため、応力歪について研究した。一般に格子欠陥や転位が多く入った材料は転位の動きが制約されるため硬くなる。そこで、被覆膜に欠陥を導入すれば耐摩耗性が向上するのではないかと考えた。
【0006】
そして、cBN焼結体に種々のTiCN(炭窒化チタン)を被覆し、その被覆膜に転位や格子欠陥を導入して耐摩耗性を調べた。その結果、転位や格子欠陥が導入されると、耐摩耗性が向上することが判明した。また非常に興味深いことであるが、転位や格子欠陥が増えると被覆膜の色調も変わることが判明した。
【0007】
TiCNでは、一般にC(炭素)とN(窒素)との含有比が変わると色調が変化することが知られているが、本願発明者らは、切削性能の向上が見られるほど転位や格子欠陥が十分に入った場合のみ、色度a*(赤方向)が0以上10以下、色度b*(黄方向)が0以上20以下、明度L*が0以上100以下となることを見出した。
【0008】
そのうち、特に色度a*(赤方向)が0以上5以下、色度b*(黄方向)が0以上10以下、明度L*が10以上50以下のものは切削性能が著しく良くなることがわかった。
【0009】
それゆえ本発明の表面被覆cBN焼結体工具は、cBNを20体積%以上有するcBN焼結体からなる部分を有する母材と、その母材のcBN焼結体上に形成されかつ最外層がTiCNよりなる被覆膜とを備え、被覆膜の最外層の色調において、色度a*が0以上10以下、色度b*が0以上20以下、明度L*が0以上100以下である。
【0010】
これにより、被覆膜に十分な転位や格子欠陥が導入され、高速切削においても良好な耐摩耗性が得られる。cBNの含有率を20体積%以上としたのは、20体積%未満では欠損が生じやすくなるからである。
【0011】
なお、色度a*、色度b*および明度L*による色の表示方法は、JIS Z 8730に準拠するものであり、分光測色方法により測定する場合には、JISZ 8722の4.(分光測色方法)の規定により、刺激値直読方法により測定する場合には、JIS Z 8722の5.(刺激値直読方法)の規定による。ただし、測定に用いる光電色彩計は、計器の指示から直接L*a*b*を求めるものでもよい。
【0012】
上記の表面被覆cBN焼結体工具において好ましくは、被覆膜の色調において、色度a*が0以上5以下、色度b*が0以上10以下、明度L*が10以上50以下である。
【0013】
これにより、高速切削においてより良好な耐摩耗性を得ることができる。
上記の表面被覆cBN焼結体工具において好ましくは、被覆膜の厚みは0.5μm以上10μm以下である。
【0014】
これは被覆膜の厚みが0.5μm未満では被覆の効果が少なく、10μmを超えると被覆膜が剥離しやすくなるからである。
【0015】
上記の表面被覆cBN焼結体工具において好ましくは、母材と被覆膜との間に、Ti(チタン)、Zr(ジルコニウム)、Cr(クロム)、TiN(窒化チタン)、TiC(炭化チタン)、ZrN(窒化ジルコニウム)、ZrC(炭化ジルコニウム)、CrN(窒化クロム)およびCrC(炭化クロム)よりなる群から選ばれる1種以上からなる付着強化層がさらに備えられている。
【0016】
これにより、被覆膜と母材との付着強度が向上するため、より高性能が期待される。
【0017】
上記の表面被覆cBN焼結体工具において好ましくは、cBN焼結体は、cBNを35体積%以上85体積%以下含み、かつcBN粒子同士を結合するための結合材とを含んでおり、結合材は以下のa、b、c、dおよびeよりなる群から選ばれる1種以上とAl(アルミニウム)化合物と不可避不純物とを含んでいる。
【0018】
a:IVa、Va、VIa族元素
b:IVa、Va、VIa族元素の窒化物
c:IVa、Va、VIa族元素の硼化物
d:IVa、Va、VIa族元素の炭化物
e:IVa、Va、VIa族元素、IVa、Va、VIa族元素の窒化物、硼化物、炭化物よりなる群から選ばれる2種以上からなる固溶体
このように母材の材料を適切に選択することにより、切削性能の著しい向上を図ることができる。cBNの含有率が85体積%を超えると、母材の耐摩耗性が悪くなり、これが被覆膜の耐摩耗性に影響を与えるため、耐摩耗性の向上が妨げられる。またcBNの含有率が35体積%未満となると、cBN焼結体の特徴が高い硬度であるにもかかわらず、その硬度が低下してしまい、たとえば焼入れ鋼のような高い硬度の被削材を高速で切削するための強度が不足してしまう。
【0019】
上記の表面被覆cBN焼結体工具において好ましくは、cBN粒子の平均粒径が4μm以下である。
【0020】
これにより、切削性能の著しい向上を図ることができる。cBN粒子の平均粒径が4μmを超えると、cBN粒子と結合材との接触面積が減少し、cBN粒子と結合材との結合力が弱まることにより、たとえば焼入れ鋼のような高い硬度の被削材を高速で切削するための強度が不足する。
【0021】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態について図に基づいて説明する。
【0022】
図1は、本発明の一実施の形態における表面被覆cBN焼結体工具の部分断面図である。図1を参照して、母材2は、工具刃先の少なくとも切削に関与する部分においてcBNを20体積%以上有するcBN焼結体よりなっている。このcBN焼結体よりなる母材2の表面上に、TiCNを含む被覆膜1が形成されている。この被覆膜1の色調において、色度a*(赤方向)が0以上10以下、色度b*(黄方向)が0以上20以下、明度L*が0以上100以下である。特に色度a*(赤方向)が0以上5以下、色度b*(黄方向)が0以上10以下、明度L*が10以上50以下であることが好ましい。
【0023】
また被覆膜1の厚みは、被覆の効果および剥離防止を考慮すると、0.5μm以上10μm以下であることが好ましい。
【0024】
また被覆膜1と母材2との間には、図2に示すように付着強化層3が形成されていることが好ましく、この付着強化層3は、Ti、Zr、Cr、TiN、TiC、ZrN、ZrC、CrNおよびCrCのいずれかの材質よりなっていてもよく、またこれらの任意の組合せの材質よりなっていてもよい。
【0025】
母材2のcBN焼結体部分は、cBNを35体積%以上85体積%以下含み、かつcBN粒子同士を結合するための結合部材を含んでおり、結合材は以下のa、b、c、dおよびeよりなる群から選ばれる1種以上とAl化合物と不可避不純物とを含んでいることが好ましい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improvement in a cutting tool material having a sintered body containing cubic boron nitride (cBN) as a main component (hereinafter referred to as a cBN sintered body) as a base material. in which relates the surface covering cBN sintered body Engineering again and again excellent in resistance.
[0002]
[Prior art]
cBN is a material having the second highest hardness after diamond, and the cBN sintered body is mainly used as a metal cutting tool. In order to further improve the wear resistance in cutting with a cBN sintered body, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 59-134603, 61-183187, 1-96083, and 1-96084. As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. HEI, a method for coating a cBN sintered body with various wear-resistant layers such as TiN (titanium nitride) has been proposed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In recent years, in order to further improve the machining efficiency, the cutting speed has been increased, and accordingly, further wear resistance and oxidation resistance have been required for tools. Against this background, the conventional coating technique alone has a problem in recent high-speed cutting applications, and the wear resistance of the coating film has become more important.
[0004]
It is therefore an object of the present invention is to provide a surface-coated cBN sintered body engineering tool also has good wear resistance in high speed cutting.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The inventors of the present invention studied stress strain in order to achieve an improvement in the wear resistance of the coating film. In general, a material containing many lattice defects and dislocations becomes hard because the movement of dislocations is restricted. Therefore, it was thought that wear resistance could be improved by introducing defects in the coating film.
[0006]
Then, the cBN sintered body was coated with various TiCN (titanium carbonitride), and dislocations and lattice defects were introduced into the coating film to examine the wear resistance. As a result, it was found that the wear resistance is improved when dislocations and lattice defects are introduced. It is also very interesting that the color tone of the coating film changes as the number of dislocations and lattice defects increases.
[0007]
In TiCN, it is generally known that the color tone changes when the content ratio of C (carbon) and N (nitrogen) changes. However, the present inventors have found that dislocations and lattice defects are improved as the cutting performance is improved. Was found that chromaticity a * (red direction) was 0 or more and 10 or less, chromaticity b * (yellow direction) was 0 or more and 20 or less, and lightness L * was 0 or more and 100 or less .
[0008]
Of these, cutting performance is particularly improved when the chromaticity a * (red direction) is 0 or more and 5 or less, the chromaticity b * (yellow direction) is 0 or more and 10 or less, and the lightness L * is 10 or more and 50 or less. all right.
[0009]
Therefore, the surface-coated cBN sintered body tool of the present invention is formed on a base material having a portion made of a cBN sintered body having 20% by volume or more of cBN, and the outermost layer is formed on the cBN sintered body of the base material. and a coating film made of TiCN, the outermost layer of the color tone of the coating film, chromaticity a * is 0 to 10, the chromaticity b * is 0 to 20, the lightness L * is 0 or more and 100 or less .
[0010]
Thereby, sufficient dislocations and lattice defects are introduced into the coating film, and good wear resistance can be obtained even in high-speed cutting. The reason why the content of cBN is set to 20% by volume or more is that if it is less than 20% by volume, defects tend to occur.
[0011]
The color display method based on chromaticity a * , chromaticity b *, and lightness L * is based on JIS Z 8730. In the case of measuring by the stimulus value direct reading method according to the provision of (spectral colorimetry method), JIS Z 8722 5. According to (stimulation value direct reading method) regulations. However, the photoelectric colorimeter used for the measurement may directly obtain L * a * b * from the instruction of the instrument.
[0012]
In the above surface-coated cBN sintered body tool, preferably, in the color tone of the coating film, the chromaticity a * is 0 or more and 5 or less, the chromaticity b * is 0 or more and 10 or less, and the lightness L * is 10 or more and 50 or less. .
[0013]
Thereby, better wear resistance can be obtained in high-speed cutting.
In the above surface-coated cBN sintered body tool, the thickness of the coating film is preferably 0.5 μm or more and 10 μm or less.
[0014]
This is because when the thickness of the coating film is less than 0.5 μm, the coating effect is small, and when it exceeds 10 μm, the coating film is easily peeled off.
[0015]
In the above surface-coated cBN sintered body tool, preferably, Ti (titanium), Zr (zirconium), Cr (chromium), TiN (titanium nitride), TiC (titanium carbide) are provided between the base material and the coating film. , ZrN (zirconium nitride), ZrC (zirconium carbide), CrN (chromium nitride), and an adhesion strengthening layer made of at least one selected from the group consisting of CrC (chromium carbide) are further provided.
[0016]
Thereby, since the adhesion strength between the coating film and the base material is improved, higher performance is expected.
[0017]
Preferably, in the above surface-coated cBN sintered body tool, the cBN sintered body contains 35% by volume or more and 85% by volume or less of cBN, and a binder for binding the cBN particles to each other. Contains one or more selected from the group consisting of the following a, b, c, d and e, an Al (aluminum) compound and inevitable impurities.
[0018]
a: IVa, Va, VIa group element b: IVa, Va, VIa group element nitride c: IVa, Va, VIa group element boride d: IVa, Va, VIa group element carbide e: IVa, Va, Solid solution consisting of two or more kinds selected from the group consisting of nitrides, borides and carbides of group VIa elements, IVa, Va, and group VIa elements. Improvements can be made. When the content of cBN exceeds 85% by volume, the wear resistance of the base material is deteriorated, which affects the wear resistance of the coating film, so that the improvement of the wear resistance is hindered. Further, when the content of cBN is less than 35% by volume, the hardness of the cBN sintered body is reduced despite the fact that the hardness is high. For example, a high hardness work material such as hardened steel is used. Insufficient strength to cut at high speed.
[0019]
In the above surface-coated cBN sintered body tool, the average particle size of the cBN particles is preferably 4 μm or less.
[0020]
Thereby, the remarkable improvement of cutting performance can be aimed at. When the average particle size of the cBN particles exceeds 4 μm, the contact area between the cBN particles and the binder is reduced, and the bonding force between the cBN particles and the binder is weakened. Insufficient strength to cut material at high speed .

(Experimental example 1)
First, using a cemented carbide pot and balls, TiN, Ti, and Al, which are binder materials, were mixed to obtain a binder powder. Next, the binder powder and the cBN powder were mixed, filled in a Mo (molybdenum) container, and sintered at a pressure of 5 GPa and a temperature of 1400 ° C. for 20 minutes. This sintered body was processed into the shape of ISO standard SNGN120408 to obtain a cBN sintered body base material. The cBN content in the cBN sintered body base material was 65% by volume, and the average particle size of the cBN particles was 2.5 μm.
[0029]
The base material was coated with various types of TiCN shown in Table 2 using a known arc ion plating method. In addition, each sample coated with the coating was used to cut a chromium molybdenum steel round bar under the conditions shown in Table 1, and the flank wear amount of each sample after cutting was measured. The results of the flank wear amount are also shown in Table 2.
