Description

この発明は、ステンレス鋼等を、高熱発生を伴い、刃先に高負荷が作用する高速連続切削加工した場合に、硬質被覆層が優れた耐チッピング性を備え、長期の使用にわって優れた耐摩耗性を発揮する表面被覆切削工具(以下、被覆工具ということがある)に関するものである。 According to the present invention, the hard coating layer has excellent chipping resistance when high-speed continuous cutting of stainless steel or the like is accompanied by high heat generation and a high load acts on the cutting edge, and is excellent in long-term use. It relates to a surface-coated cutting tool (hereinafter, may be referred to as a coated tool) that exhibits abrasion resistance.

切削工具の切削性能の改善を目的として、従来、炭化タングステン(以下、WCで示す)基超硬合金等で構成された工具基体(以下、これらを総称して工具基体ということがある)の表面に、硬質被覆層を形成した被覆工具があり、これらは、優れた耐摩耗性を発揮することが知られている。
前記従来の硬質被覆層を形成した被覆工具は、比較的耐摩耗性に優れるものの、高速切削条件で用いた場合に、高温強度が不足し、チッピング等の異常損耗を発生しやすいことから、硬質被覆層の高温強度の改善について、工具基体からの元素の拡散によりTiNやTiCN皮膜に他の元素を添加する提案がなされている。
For the purpose of improving the cutting performance of cutting tools, the surface of a tool substrate (hereinafter, these may be collectively referred to as a tool substrate) made of tungsten carbide (hereinafter referred to as WC) -based cemented carbide or the like. There are coating tools in which a hard coating layer is formed, and these are known to exhibit excellent wear resistance.
Although the coating tool on which the conventional hard coating layer is formed has relatively excellent wear resistance, it is hard because it lacks high-temperature strength and is prone to abnormal wear such as chipping when used under high-speed cutting conditions. Regarding the improvement of the high temperature strength of the coating layer, it has been proposed to add other elements to the TiN or TiCN film by diffusing the elements from the tool substrate.

例えば、特許文献1には、工具基体表面より2層以上被覆し、1層目の厚さを1.0〜5μm、2層目以降の厚さを0.5〜10μmとする被覆工具において、前記工具基体表面より被覆外層に向かって前記工具基体中の主成分であるW、Coの拡散がx線強度比に於いて、W強度比:0≦W/(4a+5a+6a+Fe族)≦0.04、Co強度比:0≦Co/(4a+5a+6a+Fe族)≦0.02の範囲内であることを特徴とする被覆工具が記載されている。 For example, Patent Document 1 describes a covering tool that covers two or more layers from the surface of a tool substrate and has a thickness of the first layer of 1.0 to 5 μm and a thickness of the second and subsequent layers of 0.5 to 10 μm. The diffusion of W and Co, which are the main components in the tool substrate, from the surface of the tool substrate toward the outer layer of the coating is the W intensity ratio: 0 ≦ W / (4a + 5a + 6a + Fe group) ≦ 0.04 in the x-ray intensity ratio. A covering tool characterized in that the Co strength ratio is within the range of 0 ≦ Co / (4a + 5a + 6a + Fe group) ≦ 0.02 is described.

また、例えば、特許文献2には、工具基体と該工具基体上に形成された1または2以上の層を有する被覆層とを含み、前記層のうち前記工具基体と接する層は、TiN層であり、前記TiN層は、TiNとともにCを含み、前記Cは、前記TiN層の厚み方向に濃度分布を有しており、前記濃度分布は、前記Cの濃度が前記工具基体側から前記被覆層の表面側にかけて減少する領域を含み、前記濃度分布において、前記Cの最大濃度と最小濃度の差は、10原子%以上である、被覆工具が記載されている。 Further, for example, Patent Document 2 includes a tool substrate and a coating layer having one or more layers formed on the tool substrate, and the layer in contact with the tool substrate is a TiN layer. The TiN layer contains C together with TiN, and the C has a concentration distribution in the thickness direction of the TiN layer. In the concentration distribution, the concentration of C is from the tool substrate side to the coating layer. A covering tool is described in which the difference between the maximum concentration and the minimum concentration of C is 10 atomic% or more in the concentration distribution, which includes a region that decreases toward the surface side of the above.

近年の切削加工では、ステンレス鋼等の難切削材に対しても省力化および省エネ化の要求は強く、被覆工具に対する加工時の負荷が一段と高まっており、被覆工具には、より一層、耐チッピング性、耐欠損性、耐剥離性等の耐異常損傷性が求められるとともに、長期の使用にわって優れた耐摩耗性が求められている。 In recent cutting, there is a strong demand for labor saving and energy saving even for difficult-to-cut materials such as stainless steel, and the load during machining on the covering tool is increasing, and the covering tool is even more resistant to chipping. Abnormal damage resistance such as resistance, fracture resistance, and peel resistance is required, and excellent wear resistance is required for long-term use.

しかし、前記特許文献1に記載された被覆工具は、ステンレス鋼等の難切削材の高速連続切削加工に供した場合には、早期に寿命に至っていた。 However, the covering tool described in Patent Document 1 has reached the end of its life at an early stage when it is subjected to high-speed continuous cutting of a difficult-to-cut material such as stainless steel.

また、前記特許文献2に記載された被覆工具も、ステンレス鋼等の難切削材の高速連続切削加工に供した場合、満足する耐チッピング性、耐摩耗性を有していなかった。 Further, the covering tool described in Patent Document 2 also does not have satisfactory chipping resistance and abrasion resistance when subjected to high-speed continuous cutting of difficult-to-cut materials such as stainless steel.

そこで、本発明は、ステンレス鋼等の高速連続切削加工に供した場合であっても、その被覆層が優れた靭性を備え、長期の使用にわたって優れた耐チッピング性、耐摩耗性を発揮する被覆工具を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, according to the present invention, the coating layer has excellent toughness even when subjected to high-speed continuous cutting of stainless steel or the like, and exhibits excellent chipping resistance and abrasion resistance over a long period of use. The purpose is to provide tools.

本発明者は、前記特許文献1〜2に記載された被覆工具がステンレス鋼等の高速断続切削加工に供した場合に、早期に寿命に至るのかを鋭意検討したところ、工具基体と被覆層との間の密着性が十分でないことを発見し、工具基体と被覆層の密着性は、工具基体に接する被覆層部分の特定部分にのみ所定量のCを拡散させることによりなし得るという新規な知見を得た。 The present inventor diligently examined whether the covering tool described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 would reach the end of its life at an early stage when it was subjected to high-speed intermittent cutting of stainless steel or the like. It was discovered that the adhesion between the tools was not sufficient, and a new finding that the adhesion between the tool substrate and the coating layer could be achieved by diffusing a predetermined amount of C only in a specific portion of the coating layer portion in contact with the tool substrate. Got

硬質被覆層:
硬質被覆層は、第1層とその上部(工具表面側)の第2層からなり、工具基体に接する第1層はCを含むTiN層であり、第2層は、周期表の4〜6族元素およびAlからなる群より選ばれた1または2以上の元素からなる炭化物層、窒化物層、酸化物層、炭窒化物層、炭酸化物層、炭窒酸化物層のいずれか1層または2以上の層である。
Hard coating layer:
The hard coating layer is composed of a first layer and a second layer above it (on the tool surface side), the first layer in contact with the tool substrate is a TiN layer containing C, and the second layer is 4 to 6 in the periodic table. Any one of a carbide layer, a nitride layer, an oxide layer, a carbon nitride layer, a carbon oxide layer, and a carbon dioxide oxide layer selected from the group consisting of group elements and Al or two or more elements. Two or more layers.

(1)第1層:
第1層は、TiN層であり(ここでいうTiNとは、化学量論的にTiとNが化合しているものに限らない)、工具基体と硬質被覆層との密着性を向上させる目的のために設けるものである。その平均層厚は0.1〜1.0μmである。この平均層厚の範囲とした理由は、0.1μm未満であると第1層を設ける前記目的が達成できず、1.0μmを超えると上部層を薄くせざるを得ず、耐摩耗性が低下するためである。
(1) First layer:
The first layer is a TiN layer (the TiN here is not limited to a stoichiometric combination of Ti and N), and the purpose is to improve the adhesion between the tool substrate and the hard coating layer. It is provided for the purpose. Its average layer thickness is 0.1 to 1.0 μm. The reason for setting the average layer thickness within this range is that if it is less than 0.1 μm, the above-mentioned purpose of providing the first layer cannot be achieved, and if it exceeds 1.0 μm, the upper layer must be thinned and the wear resistance is improved. This is because it decreases.

第1層であるTiN層は、前記目的を達成するために、工具基体の界面から0.1μmまでの界面領域では、C含有量が5.0〜35.0原子%となるようにCが存在し、前記界面領域におけるTiN結晶粒の平均粒径が30nm以下であることが好ましい。この理由は、前記界面領域にCが存在することにより、TiN結晶粒の粒径が小さくなって、工具基体中成分が拡散する経路が増加して、工具基体とTiN層との密着性が向上するためである。 In order to achieve the above purpose, the TiN layer, which is the first layer, contains C so as to have a C content of 5.0 to 35.0 atomic% in the interface region from the interface of the tool substrate to 0.1 μm. It is present, and the average particle size of TiN crystal grains in the interface region is preferably 30 nm or less. The reason for this is that the presence of C in the interface region reduces the particle size of the TiN crystal grains, increases the path for the components in the tool substrate to diffuse, and improves the adhesion between the tool substrate and the TiN layer. To do.

すなわち、前記界面領域を工具基体の界面から0.1μmまでの領域とする理由は、0.1μm未満であると第1層を設ける前記目的が達成できないためである。そして、拡散させるCを含有量が5.0〜35.0原子%とする理由は、5.0原子%未満では、後述する前記目的を達成するために必要なTiN結晶粒の結晶粒を30nm以下とすることができず、また、35.0原子%超えるとCの含有量が過剰となり、TiN層の靱性が損なわれるため工具寿命の低下につながるためである。 That is, the reason why the interface region is a region from the interface of the tool substrate to 0.1 μm is that if it is less than 0.1 μm, the purpose of providing the first layer cannot be achieved. The reason why the content of C to be diffused is 5.0 to 35.0 atomic% is that if the content is less than 5.0 atomic%, the crystal grains of TiN crystal grains necessary for achieving the above-mentioned object described later are 30 nm. This is because the following cannot be achieved, and if it exceeds 35.0 atomic%, the C content becomes excessive and the toughness of the TiN layer is impaired, which leads to a decrease in tool life.

ここで、前記界面領域のTiN粒子において、その結晶粒界におけるCの含有割合が粒内における含有割合よりも3〜10原子%高いことがより好ましい。その理由は、3原子%未満である場合はCの拡散量が少ないため、付着強度向上の効果が十分ではなく、一方で10原子%を超える場合は、C原子が過剰に粒界に存在することにより、破壊の起点となり得るためである。 Here, it is more preferable that the content ratio of C at the grain boundary of the TiN particles in the interface region is 3 to 10 atomic% higher than the content ratio in the particles. The reason is that when it is less than 3 atomic%, the amount of diffusion of C is small, so that the effect of improving the adhesion strength is not sufficient, while when it exceeds 10 atomic%, C atoms are excessively present at the grain boundaries. This is because it can be a starting point of destruction.

また、前記界面領域には、TiN粒子の粒界に、3〜15原子%のCo、または、3〜15原子%のWの少なくとも一方を含むことがより好ましい。その理由は、CoおよびWの含有量がそれぞれ3原子%未満である場合は母材からの拡散量が少ないため、付着強度向上の効果が十分ではなく、一方で、CoおよびWの含有量がそれぞれ15原子%を超えると、これらの原子が過剰に粒界に存在することにより、破壊の起点となり得るためである。 Further, it is more preferable that the interface region contains at least one of Co in 3 to 15 atomic% or W in 3 to 15 atomic% in the grain boundary of TiN particles. The reason is that when the contents of Co and W are less than 3 atomic%, the amount of diffusion from the base metal is small, so that the effect of improving the adhesion strength is not sufficient, while the contents of Co and W are high. This is because if each exceeds 15 atomic%, these atoms are excessively present at the grain boundaries and can be a starting point of destruction.

粒界は、硬質被覆層の縦断面(工具基体に垂直な断面)を電界放出型電子顕微鏡で観察し、EsB検出器を用いた組成像により判断し、TiN粒子の粒界および粒内におけるCの含有量、および粒界のCo、Wの含有量は、それぞれ、透過型電子顕微鏡を用いて観察し、エネルギー分散型X線分光法により測定する。 The grain boundaries are determined by observing the vertical cross section of the hard coating layer (cross section perpendicular to the tool substrate) with a field emission electron microscope and judging from the composition image using an EsB detector, and the grain boundaries of TiN particles and C in the grains. The content of Co and W at the grain boundaries are observed using a transmission electron microscope and measured by energy dispersion type X-ray spectroscopy.

TiN結晶粒の粒径は30nmを超えると、工具基体中のCo、W等の成分が拡散する経路の増加が十分ではなく、第1層を設ける前記目的が達成できない。なお、TiN結晶粒の粒径の下限値は特に制約がないが、1.0nmとすることが好ましい。 If the particle size of the TiN crystal grains exceeds 30 nm, the number of paths through which components such as Co and W in the tool substrate are diffused is not sufficiently increased, and the above-mentioned purpose of providing the first layer cannot be achieved. The lower limit of the particle size of the TiN crystal grains is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1.0 nm.

そして、TiNの結晶粒の粒径は、TiN層領域に工具基体に平行な0.5μmの長さの直線を横切る粒界の数を数え、0.75/(横切る粒界の数)μmとして求める。 The grain size of the TiN crystal grains is 0.75 / (the number of grain boundaries crossing) μm by counting the number of grain boundaries crossing a straight line having a length of 0.5 μm parallel to the tool substrate in the TiN layer region. Ask.

(2)第2層
第1層(TiN層)の上部(工具表面側)の第2層は、耐摩耗性、耐チッピング性を与えるものであり、周期表の4〜6族元素およびAlからなる群より選ばれた1または2以上の元素からなる炭化物層、窒化物層、酸化物層、炭窒化物層、炭酸化物層、炭窒酸化物層のいずれか1層または2以上を適宜選択したものであり、その合計層厚は1.0〜20.0μmであることが好ましい。合計層厚をこの範囲とする理由は、1.0μm未満では第2層の効果が十分に発揮されず、20.0μmを超えると第2層の結晶粒が粗大化しやすくなって、チッピングが発生しやすくなるためである。
(2) Second layer The second layer on the upper part (tool surface side) of the first layer (TiN layer) provides abrasion resistance and chipping resistance, and is derived from Group 4 to 6 elements and Al in the periodic table. One or more of a carbide layer, a nitride layer, an oxide layer, a nitride layer, a coal oxide layer, and a carbon dioxide oxide layer composed of one or more elements selected from the above group is appropriately selected. The total layer thickness is preferably 1.0 to 20.0 μm. The reason why the total layer thickness is within this range is that if it is less than 1.0 μm, the effect of the second layer is not sufficiently exhibited, and if it exceeds 20.0 μm, the crystal grains of the second layer tend to be coarsened and chipping occurs. This is because it becomes easier to do.

なお、各層の平均層厚は、工具基体に垂直な方向の断面(層厚方向の断面、縦断面)を、走査型電子顕微鏡を用いて、適切な倍率、例えば、倍率5000倍で観察し、刃先稜線部近傍の観察視野内5点の層厚を測定し、平均して求めた。 For the average layer thickness of each layer, a cross section in the direction perpendicular to the tool substrate (cross section in the layer thickness direction, vertical cross section) was observed using a scanning electron microscope at an appropriate magnification, for example, a magnification of 5000 times. The layer thicknesses at 5 points in the observation field near the ridgeline of the cutting edge were measured and averaged.

工具基体
工具基体は、この種の工具基体として従来公知の基材であれば、本発明の目的を達成することを阻害するものでない限り、いずれのものも使用可能である。一例を挙げるならば、超硬合金(WC基超硬合金、WCの他、Coを含み、あるいはTi、Ta、Nb等の炭窒化物を添加したものも含むもの等)、サーメット(TiC、TiN、TiCN等を主成分とするもの等)、セラミックス(炭化チタン、炭化珪素、窒化珪素、窒化アルミニウム、酸化アルミニウムなど)、cBN焼結体、またはダイヤモンド焼結体のいずれかであることが好ましい。
Tool Base As the tool base, any base material conventionally known as this type of tool base can be used as long as it does not hinder the achievement of the object of the present invention. For example, cemented carbide (WC-based cemented carbide, WC, as well as those containing Co or added with carbonitrides such as Ti, Ta, Nb, etc.), cermet (TiC, TiN, etc.) , TiCN or the like as a main component), ceramics (titanium carbide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, aluminum oxide, etc.), cBN sintered body, or diamond sintered body is preferable.
