Description
本発明は、特に耐熱酸化性に優れた硬質皮膜およびこの硬質皮膜を形成するためのターゲットに関する。 The present invention relates to a hard film particularly excellent in thermal oxidation resistance and a target for forming the hard film.
鋼板等の鉄鋼部材、銅板等の非鉄部材などの金属系材料からなる部材は、プレス加工や鍛造加工、鋳造加工などにより様々な形状に加工され、得られた加工部品(抜き加工品、曲げ加工品、鍛造品、鋳造品など)は自動車用部品をはじめ様々な用途に使用されている。
これらの加工のうちプレス加工や鍛造加工などの塑性加工を例として説明すれば、塑性加工を行うための工具における加工面を構成する材料には優れた耐摩耗性が求められ、この要請に応えるべく、金型等の加工用工具における加工面の構成材料として、従来一般的に使用されていたTi系の材料による皮膜に代えて、Ti−Al系材料による皮膜が使用されてきている(例えば特許文献1)。また、TiおよびAlに加えてCrなどの他の元素を含有させることにより皮膜の耐摩耗性をさらに向上させる技術も開示されている(例えば特許文献2)。Members made of metallic materials such as steel members such as steel plates and non-ferrous members such as copper plates are processed into various shapes by press processing, forging processing, casting processing, etc., and processed parts obtained (punched products, bending processing) Products, forged products, cast products, etc.) are used in various applications including automobile parts.
If we explain plastic processing such as press processing and forging processing among these processing as an example, the material constituting the processing surface in the tool for plastic processing is required to have excellent wear resistance, and this requirement is met. Therefore, as a constituent material of a processing surface in a processing tool such as a mold, a coating film made of a Ti—Al-based material has been used instead of a coating film made of a Ti-based material that has been conventionally used (for example, Patent Document 1). Moreover, the technique which further improves the abrasion resistance of a film | membrane by containing other elements, such as Cr in addition to Ti and Al, is also disclosed (for example, patent document 2).
部品加工に関する技術は加工品質の向上と生産性の向上とを両立させるという課題に常に向き合っており、塑性加工もその生産性を高めたり生産コストを低減させたりすることが求められている。このため、一回の塑性加工による加工量(被加工材の変形量や切断長さが例示される。)を増加させたり、潤滑油の使用量を低減(場合によっては無給油)したりする対策が行われるようになってきた。その結果、金型などの加工用工具における加工面に加わる負荷は増加し、たとえ塑性加工が冷間加工であっても、被加工材と加工面との摺動摩擦熱の発生が顕著となる傾向がある。このため、加工用工具における加工面を構成する材料には、高い耐熱性、特に摺動摩擦熱の蓄積により高温となった状態でも耐摩耗性が低下しないこと(本明細書において、「耐熱酸化性」ともいう。)が求められてきている。ここで、加工面を構成する材料に耐摩耗性を付与するための具体的な手法としては複数考えられるが、最も簡便な手法はかかる材料の硬度を高めることであり、具体的には硬質皮膜を加工部材の表面に成膜することである。この硬質皮膜を大気中において加熱した場合でも、加熱後の皮膜が高い硬度を維持したり、加熱前後での皮膜硬度の変化が少なかったりするときには、高温領域下での耐摩耗性が維持されているといえるのでその硬質皮膜は優れた耐熱酸化性を有していると期待される。
本発明はかかる現状を鑑み、耐熱酸化性に優れる硬質皮膜、およびかかる硬質皮膜を形成するためのターゲットを提供することを課題とする。Technology related to parts processing has always faced the challenge of achieving both improvement in processing quality and improvement in productivity, and plastic processing is also required to increase the productivity and reduce the production cost. For this reason, the amount of processing (a deformation amount and cutting length of the workpiece are exemplified) by one plastic working is increased, or the amount of lubricating oil used is reduced (no lubrication in some cases). Countermeasures have come to be taken. As a result, the load applied to the machining surface of a machining tool such as a mold is increased, and even if the plastic machining is cold machining, the generation of sliding frictional heat between the workpiece and the machining surface tends to be significant. There is. For this reason, the material constituting the machining surface of the machining tool has high heat resistance, in particular, wear resistance does not deteriorate even at a high temperature due to accumulation of sliding frictional heat (in this specification, “heat oxidation resistance” Is also called for.) Here, a plurality of specific methods for imparting wear resistance to the material constituting the processed surface can be considered, but the simplest method is to increase the hardness of such a material, specifically a hard coating. Is formed on the surface of the processed member. Even when this hard film is heated in the atmosphere, when the film after heating maintains a high hardness or there is little change in film hardness before and after heating, the wear resistance under the high temperature region is maintained. Therefore, the hard coating is expected to have excellent heat and oxidation resistance.
This invention makes it a subject to provide the target for forming the hard film which is excellent in heat-resistant oxidation resistance, and this hard film in view of this present condition.
本発明者らが鋭意検討した結果、TiおよびAlに加えて、CrおよびNbを適切に含有させることにより、優れた耐熱酸化性を有する硬質皮膜が得られるとの知見を得た。 As a result of intensive studies by the present inventors, it has been found that a hard film having excellent heat and oxidation resistance can be obtained by appropriately containing Cr and Nb in addition to Ti and Al.

The hard film according to the present embodiment includes a case where such an unavoidable impurity is contained. The upper limit of the content of such impurities is not particularly set, but from the viewpoint of reducing the influence of impurities on the hard coating, the atomic ratio of the entire impurity elements is 1.0% of the total of the atomic ratios of the above four elements. In this case, it should be 0.01 or less.
本実施形態に係る硬質皮膜は、炭化物、窒化物、酸化物またはこれらの混合物(炭窒化物など)であるから、前述の組成におけるeおよびfはそれぞれ0.0から1.0までの任意の数値を取り、e+fは1.0以下となる。 Since the hard film according to the present embodiment is a carbide, nitride, oxide, or a mixture thereof (carbonitride, etc.), e and f in the above-mentioned composition are each arbitrary from 0.0 to 1.0. Taking a numerical value, e + f is 1.0 or less.
なお、本実施形態に係る硬質皮膜において、Cr、Al、TiおよびNbからなる金属成分と、C、NおよびOの少なくとも一種からなるガス成分との原子比は特に限定されず、化学量論的範囲外の場合も含む。 In the hard coating according to the present embodiment, the atomic ratio between the metal component composed of Cr, Al, Ti and Nb and the gas component composed of at least one of C, N and O is not particularly limited, and is stoichiometric. Including cases outside the range.
本実施形態に係る硬質皮膜の厚さは特に限定されない。用途に応じて適宜設定されるべきものである。ただし、過度に薄い場合には硬質皮膜が所望の特性を発現することができなかったり、その耐久性が低下したりすることが懸念されるため、通常0.1μm以上の厚さとすることが好ましい。また、硬質皮膜の厚さが過度に厚い場合には、皮膜に発生した圧縮応力によって皮膜の被処理部材に対する密着性が低下したり、被処理部材に変形が生じたりすることが懸念されるため、通常20μm以下の厚さとすることが好ましい。 The thickness of the hard film according to the present embodiment is not particularly limited. It should be set appropriately according to the application. However, since it is feared that the hard film cannot express desired characteristics or its durability is lowered when it is excessively thin, it is usually preferable to set the thickness to 0.1 μm or more. . Moreover, when the thickness of the hard coating is excessively thick, there is a concern that the adhesion of the coating to the member to be processed may be reduced or the member to be processed may be deformed by the compressive stress generated in the coating. In general, the thickness is preferably 20 μm or less.
本実施形態に係る硬質皮膜の製造方法は限定されない。後述するターゲットを用いてイオンプレーティングにより製造することが一般的であり、その際に含有させる雰囲気を制御することによって、前述の組成におけるeおよびfを調整することが可能である。イオンプレーティングを行うための装置の構造は任意である。ターゲットを直接加熱してその構成材料を蒸発させてもよいし、成膜ガス雰囲気中でアーク放電を行ってターゲットを構成する材料を蒸発させてもよいし、マグネトロンスパッタリングなどのスパッタリングによってターゲット材料を気化させてもよい。 The manufacturing method of the hard film which concerns on this embodiment is not limited. It is common to manufacture by ion plating using the target mentioned later, and it is possible to adjust e and f in the above-mentioned composition by controlling the atmosphere contained in that case. The structure of the apparatus for performing ion plating is arbitrary. The target material may be directly heated to evaporate the constituent material, or the material constituting the target may be evaporated by performing arc discharge in a film forming gas atmosphere, or the target material may be changed by sputtering such as magnetron sputtering. It may be vaporized.
図1は、本実施形態に係る硬質皮膜を製造する装置の一例であるイオンプレーティング装置の構成を概念的に示す図である。イオンプレーティング装置10は、真空容器1内に、ヒータ2、ターゲットが付設された金属蒸発源(アークイオンプレーティング方式の場合にはアーク式蒸発源)3、ガス供給系に接続されたガス供給口4、図示しない排気ポンプ系に接続された排気口5、バイアス電源6に接続された回転テーブル7、および回転テーブル7に固定され電気的に接続された被処理部材8を備える。排気口5と排気ポンプ系との間を開放して真空容器1内の全圧をひとたび所定の値以下にした後、窒素源(N2ガスなど)、炭素源(メタンガスなど)および/または酸素源(O2ガスなど)を、作製すべき硬質皮膜の組成に応じて設定された分圧となるように、ガス供給口4から供給する。続いて、金属蒸発源3を動作させて(アーク式蒸発源の場合にはアーク放電を発生させて)、ターゲットを適宜溶融させ、ターゲットに含まれる金属を真空容器内に蒸発・イオン化させる。こうして真空容器内に拡散した金属成分は真空容器内の窒素源、炭素源および/または酸素源と反応し、得られた反応生成物はバイアス電源6により負電圧に印加された被処理部材8へと進行し、金属の窒化物、炭化物および酸化物ならびにこれらの混合物(以下、「金属窒化物等」という。)として被処理部材8上に堆積して、硬質皮膜が形成される。このとき、金属窒化物等の密着力を向上させるなどの目的でヒータ2による被処理部材8の加熱が行われる場合もある。FIG. 1 is a diagram conceptually showing the configuration of an ion plating apparatus which is an example of an apparatus for producing a hard coating according to this embodiment. An
イオンプレーティングにおける成膜条件は任意であり、雰囲気圧力、被処理部材の温度などは適宜制御すればよい。アーク放電によりイオンプレーティングを行う場合を一例として説明すれば、通常、成膜時の圧力を2から8Paの範囲とすることが好ましく、3から6Paとすればさらに好ましい。また、アーク放電のための印加電圧は被処理材へのダメージを少なくすることを考慮すると−300V以下とすることが好ましく、−20から−200Vの範囲とすれば、被処理材へのダメージの発生を抑制しつつ成膜速度を高めることが可能となる場合が多い。アーク放電による放電電流は通常60から200Aの範囲内にて設定される場合が多いところ、アーク電流の電流値が過度に低い場合には成膜速度が低下し、過度に高い場合には装置の安全性の見地から不利益が生じる可能性が高まることから、アーク電流は90から150A程度の範囲とすることが好ましい。 The film forming conditions in ion plating are arbitrary, and the atmospheric pressure, the temperature of the member to be processed, and the like may be appropriately controlled. If the case of performing ion plating by arc discharge is described as an example, the pressure during film formation is usually preferably in the range of 2 to 8 Pa, more preferably 3 to 6 Pa. In addition, the applied voltage for arc discharge is preferably −300 V or less in consideration of reducing damage to the material to be processed, and if it is in the range of −20 to −200 V, damage to the material to be processed is reduced. In many cases, it is possible to increase the deposition rate while suppressing the occurrence. In many cases, the discharge current due to arc discharge is usually set within a range of 60 to 200 A. However, when the current value of the arc current is excessively low, the film formation rate is reduced. The arc current is preferably in the range of about 90 to 150 A because there is a high possibility that a disadvantage will occur from the viewpoint of safety.
ターゲットを構成する材料は、材料を蒸発させる方法が特に問題がない限り、得ようとする硬質皮膜における金属組成とほぼ同一の金属組成を有する金属系材料を用意すればよい。したがって、上記の硬質皮膜を与えるターゲット材料の組成の一例として、

Tiles that are in a substantially pure metal state for each element may be arranged as targets, or a target made of an alloy for some or all of the four elements. The porosity of the target is also arbitrary. In any case, the composition of the hard coating should not change significantly from the composition of the target.
