Problems solved by technology

[0013] The cBN tool has high hardness and is excellent in that it has low affinity with iron-based workpieces such as steel and cast iron. However, since the adhesion strength between cBN particles and the binder phase is insufficient, as described in Patent Documents 1 to 5, Various proposals have been made to improve the adhesive strength
[0014] However, in the aforementioned conventional cBN tools and composite high-density-phase BN sintered tools, the adhesion strength between cBN particles and the binder phase is not stable under the cutting conditions under which a high load acts on the cutting edge such as interrupted cutting of high-hardness steel or the like. Still insufficient, therefore, prone to chipping and short tool life

Embodiment

[0140] Fabrication of cBN particles coated with AlN(O) film:

[0141] (a) Using cBN particles with an average particle size of 0.5 to 8 μm as the base material, the surface of the particles is coated with Al in a uniform and thin film according to the ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) method 2 o 3 film, followed by the Al 2 o 3 A uniform thin-film AlN film is formed on the film.

[0142] More specifically, for example, cBN particles having a predetermined particle size are charged in the furnace, and the temperature in the furnace is raised to 300°C. Next, Al(CH 3 ) 3 and H 2 O gas, and using Ar gas as the purge gas, perform (i) Ar+Al(CH 3 ) 3 Gas inflow process, (ii) Ar gas purge process, (iii) Ar+H 2 O gas inflow process, (iv) Ar gas purge process. The steps (i) to (iv) are regarded as one cycle, and this cycle is repeated for a desired film thickness. Film formation is performed in 0.25 to 3 hours, whereby the surface of cBN particles is uniformly coated with Al havi...

Abstract

The invention provides a cutting tool made from a cubic boron nitride sintering material which demonstrates excellent resistance to defects in intermittent cutting machining of high-hardness steel. According to the cutting tool made from the cubic boron nitride sintering material, optimally an average particle size of a cubic boron nitride particle is 0.5 to 8 [mu]m; at least pat of the surface of the cubic boron nitride particle is coated by an oxygen-containing aluminum nitride film with the average thickness of 10 to 100 [mu]m and an everage oxygen concentration being 1 to 15 atom%; furthermore, the oxygen-containing aluminum nitride film covering the surface of the cubic boron nitride particle has a local crack; and the average formation proportion of the local crack h / H satisfies 002<=h / H<=0.08, with h representing the length of the crack of the oxygen-containing aluminum nitride film and H representing the perimeter of the cubic boron nitride particle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cutting tool made of a cubic boron nitride (hereinafter referred to as cBN)-based sintered material (hereinafter referred to as cBN tool) exhibiting excellent fracture resistance in interrupted cutting of high-hardness steel. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, it is known that cBN-based sintered materials (hereinafter referred to as cBN sintered bodies) are used as cutting materials for iron-based workpieces such as steel and cast iron, due to their low affinity with the workpiece and high hardness. cBN tools for tool materials. [0003] For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, ceramic compounds such as carbides, nitrides, and borides containing 20 to 80% by volume of cBN as a hard phase and the rest of which are 4a, 5a, and 6a of the periodic table are known. cBN tool as a binding phase. [0004] Also, for example, Patent Document 2 proposes the following scheme: surround cBN particles with at least o...
