This application is a reissue of U.S. Pat. No. 5,861,210, which claims the benefit of priority to Swedish Application No. 9402543-4 filed Jul. 20, 1994.
The presently claimed invention relates to an Al2O3-coated cutting tool suitable for machining of metals by turning, milling, drilling or by similar chipforming machining methods.
Modern high productivity chipforming machining of metals requires reliable tools with excellent wear properties. This has so far been achieved by employing a cemented carbide tool body coated with a wear resistant coating. The cemented carbide tool body is generally in the shape of an indexable insert clamped in a tool holder.
The most commonly used wear resistant layers are TiC, TiN, and Al2O3. Both single layer and multilayer coatings are employed. CVD, PVD or similar coating techniques are used for depositing the different layers onto the cemented carbide body.
During the past five to ten years, coated cemented carbide tools have been improved considerably with respect to reliability and tool life.
During, e.g., a turning and cutting operation, the coated tool is worn continuously on its rake face by the formed metal chip which causes crater wear. The machined workpiece also slides along the clearance face of the tool causing flank wear.
During high speed cutting, the tool edge may reach a very high temperature at the rake face. This leads to a diffusion type crater wear on the rake face of the tool. On the clearance face of the tool, the temperature is significantly lower mainly so that abrasive type wear occurs.
It is generally accepted that an Al2O3-layer performs best on the rake face due to its excellent ability to withstand diffusion type wear. Layers of the type MeCxNyOz, where Me is a metal selected from the group consisting of the Groups IVB, VB, and VIB of the Periodic Table, generally Ti and where (x+y+z)=1, which type is hereafter denoted by TiCxNyOz, generally performs better on the clearance face. Al2O3-layers on the other hand, wear relatively fast on the clearance face and develop flank wear relatively quickly on that face. The flank wear will be particularly large for thick, >4 μm, Al2O3-layers. Flank wear influences the machined surface and may therefore limit tool life. For TiCxNyOz-type layers, the situation is almost the reverse, that is, they exhibit low flank wear and faster crater wear than Al2O3.
It is desirable to have a tool with high wear resistance on both the clearance face and on the rake face at the same time.
Other factors influencing cutting performance of a coated tool include spalling or flaking of the coatings. Flaking accelerates tool wear, in particular the flank wear. Flaking may be the result of inferior coating adhesion or it may be due to the smearing or welding of workpiece material onto the cutting edge and a successive withdrawal of the coating. This may occur when the adhesion strength between the chip formed and the coating material is sufficiently high.
Some steels are more difficult to machine than others due to smearing and resulting flaking, for example, stainless steel and low carbon steel.
Nowadays, less machining per each component is needed. The requirements for high surface finish of the machined component only allow tools with a clean smooth cutting edge-line with very little developed wear to be used. It is becoming more and more difficult for the machine operator by the naked eye to differentiate between a little used and an unused cutting edge (“edge identification”). This is particularly difficult if the top layer is Al2O3 which color is dark grey or black. By mistake, using a used tool cutting edge, e.g., during an unmanned night shift run may cause component rejection or even unwanted production stops. Edge identification can more easily be done if the insert has a top layer of TiCxNyOz or in particular if the top layer is a goldish TiN-, ZrN- or HfN-layer.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,643,620, the coating thickness is reduced along the edge by a mechanical treatment such as brushing, lapping or barrel polishing. The object is mainly to reduce the coating thickness along the cutting edge which is claimed to improve the toughness behavior of the cutting tool.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,966,501 discloses a method of reducing edge damages during cutting by reducing the coated surface roughness by employing a mechanical polishing, lapping or brush honing. This method is according to the findings of the present inventors not sufficient to minimize smearing.
It is an object of this invention to avoid or alleviate the problems of the prior art.
It is further an object of this invention to provide improvements in coated bodies with respect to the tendency of smearing/welding of workpiece material onto the cutting edge, cutting edge flaking resistance, simultaneous high resistance to crater and flank wear and to make “used edge identification” possible.
In one aspect of the invention there is provided a cutting tool insert made of cemented carbide, titanium based carbonitride or ceramics comprising a body of generally polygonal or round shape having an upper face, an opposite face and at least one clearance face intersecting said upper and lower faces to define a cutting edge, said insert being at least partly coated with at least two refractory layers of which one is a fine-grained α-Al2O3-layer and the other is an MeCxNyOz-layer where Me is a metal selected from the group consisting of metals in the Groups IVB, VB and VIB of the Periodic Table and (x+y+z)=1, said Al2O3-layer being the top layer along the cutting edge-line and said MeCxNyOz-layer being the top layer on the clearance face.
In another aspect of the invention there is provided a method of making a cutting tool insert comprising a body of generally polygonal or round shape having an upper face, an opposite face and at least one clearance face intersecting said upper and lower faces to define a cutting edge, said body made of cemented carbide, titanium based carbonitride or ceramics comprising coating said insert at least partially with at least two refractory layers of which the next outermost is a fine-grained α-Al2O3-layer and a top MeCxNyOz-layer where Me is a metal selected from the group consisting of metals in the Groups IVB, VB, VIB of the Periodic Table and (x+y+z)=1 removing said top MeCxNyOz-layer at least along the cutting edge-line leaving said layer essentially untouched on the clearance face.
The invention is illustrated by
The inventors have made great efforts to find means to reduce the smearing of workpiece material onto the cutting edge in order to improve edge flaking and flank wear resistance. It has been found by comparative cutting tests with different top layers that Al2O3 is less prone to smearing than layers of the type TiCxNy0z. In particular, fine-grained smooth α-Al2O3 is very suitable as a coating material along the cutting edge in order minimize smearings and thereby reduce the risk of edge-line flaking.
The fine-grained α-Al2O3 layers may, e.g., be any of the types disclosed in U.S. patent Ser. Nos. 08/159,217 (our reference: 024000-993) and 08/366,107 (our reference: 024444-093) or most likely also any other fine-grained α-Al2O3-layer with other preferred growth direction.
Although tools with a top layer of a fine-grained α-Al2O3, such as described in the above patent applications have excellent cutting properties they do not always comply with today's requirements since they, e.g., suffer from the following drawbacks:
As mentioned above, edge identification and improved flank wear can be obtained by applying a top layer of TiCxNyOz. However, such a top layer will severely increase smearing along the edge-line when machining the difficult materials mentioned above.
The inventors have solved this problem by mechanically removing the TiCxNyOz-layer either from only the cutting edge-line or from both the rake face and the cutting edge-line.
By employing this method and keeping the TiCxNyOz-layer intact on the clearance face, several requirements have been fulfilled simultaneously:
According to the presently claimed invention, there now exists a cutting tool insert comprising a body of generally polygonal or round shape having an upper face, an opposite face and at least one clearance face intersecting said upper and lower faces to define cutting edges made of cemented carbide, titanium based carbonitride or ceramics. The insert is at least partly coated with at least two refractory layers. One is a fine-grained, grain size 0.5-4.0 μm, preferably 0.5-2.0 μm, α-Al2O3-layer being the top layer along the cutting edge-line and the other is a TiCxNyOz- or a ZrCxNy-cutting-layer, preferably a TiN-, ZrN-, TiCN- and/or TiC-layer being the top layer on the clearance face. The α-Al2O3-layer preferably has a texture in the (012)-direction or (104)-direction. A Texture Coefficient, TC, can be defined as:
where
According to the invention, TC for the set of (012) crystal planes is larger than 1.3, preferably larger than 1.5, and for the set of (104) crystal planes TC is larger than 1.5, preferably larger than 2.5, and most preferably larger than 3.0.
The α-Al2O3-layer has a thickness of 2-12 μm, preferably 4-8 μm. The other layer has a thickness of 0.1-5 μm, preferably 1-4 μm. The total thickness of the coating including also other layers is <20 μm.
According to the method of the presently claimed invention, a cutting tool insert made of cemented carbide, titanium based carbonitride or ceramics is at least partly coated with at least two refractory layers of which the next outermost layer is a fine-grained α-Al2O3-layer and the outermost is a MeCxNy0z-layer, where Me is a metal selected from the group consisting of metals in the groups IVB, VB, VIB of the Periodic Table, preferably Ti or Zr. This top MeCxNyOz-layer is removed along the cutting edge-line or on the cutting edge-line as well as the rake face leaving said layer essentially untouched on the clearance face.
The methods used to remove the layer can be: brushing with a brush with straws containing, e.g., SiC or other grinding media, polishing with diamond paste, controlled directed blasting with, e.g., Al2O3-powders with or without masking off the clearance face. Also combinations of these methods are possible.
The aim of the mechanical treatment in the presently claimed invention is as mentioned to remove the top TiCxNyOz-layer and expose the fine-grained α-Al2O3 layer along the edge or also the entire rake face. A reduction of coating thickness along the edge-line is not desired. The used mechanical method should be so gentle that only the top TiCxNyOz-layer is removed leaving the Al2O3 at the edge-line as untouched as possible.
The invention is additionally illustrated in connection with the following Examples which are to be considered as illustrative of the presently claimed invention. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the specific details of the Examples.

As can be seen from above, the best results have been obtained when the fine-grained α-Al2O3-layer has been exposed at the edge-line. Post treatment resulting in a smoother coating surface but not exposure of the α-Al2O3 does not result in any improvement of the flaking resistance. Variants 6B and 6C with the α/κ-polymorphs exposed at the edge-line do not obtain as good flaking resistance as the Variants with α-Al2O3-layer exposed at the edge-line.
Cutting inserts from Examples 4 and 5 were run in longitudinal turning of a ball bearing steel SKF 25B.
