[0134] Example 1 - Coated Cutting Tool

[0135] Coating a cutting tool with a refractory layer formed by sublayer groups, each sublayer group consisting of a TiN nanolayer forming a cubic phase and an adjacent M 1-x Al x N nanolayers, where M is titanium and x > 0.6. The refractory layer is deposited by cathodic arc evaporation on a cemented carbide (WC-6wt.% Co) indexable insert substrate [ANSI standard geometry CNGP433], wherein the substrate temperature is 550-600 ° C, bias voltage -20V, nitrogen partial pressure 4.0-4.5Pa and argon partial pressure 0.5-1.0Pa. For the coating deposition, an INNOVA PVD device from OC Oerlikon Balzers AG was used. Using the cathode configuration in Table VIII to alternately sequentially deposit TiN nanolayers forming the cubic phase and Ti 1-x Al x N nanolayers (x≥0.6) to provide the refractory layer.

The Ti 1-x Al x The N refractory layer is deposited by cathodic arc deposition on a cemented carbide (WC-6wt.% Co) indexable insert substrate [ANSI standard geometry SNG433], where the substrate temperature is 550-600 ° C, bias voltage -30V, nitrogen partial pressure 4.0-4.5Pa and argon partial pressure 0.5-1.0Pa. For the deposition of the refractory layer, INNOVA cathodic arc equipment from Oerlikon was used. The cathode composition is Ti 0.33 Al 0.67 And the anode of the device employs an annular extension. For example, the INNOVA cathodic arc equipment operates in an Advanced Plasma Optimizer (APO) configuration in which an annular extension of the anode is incorporated. The properties of the resulting refractory layers are provided in Table XI. The hexagonal phase content, residual compressive stress, and hardness of the refractory...

Abstract

In one aspect, a coated cutting tool is described that includes a substrate and a coating attached to the substrate, the coating including a refractory layer deposited by physical vapor deposition, the refractory layer contains M 1‑x al x N, where x > 0.68 and M is titanium, chromium or zirconium, the refractory layer comprises a cubic crystal phase and has a hardness of at least 25 GPa.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to hard refractory coatings for cutting tools and wear parts, and in particular to refractory coatings deposited by physical vapor deposition exhibiting high thickness, high hardness and low stress. Background technique [0002] One or more layers of refractory material are applied to the cutting tool surface, typically by physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques, to enhance various properties, including wear resistance, performance and life of the cutting tool. For example, titanium nitride (TiN) coatings are typically applied by PVD onto cemented carbide cutting tool substrates. However, TiN starts to oxidize at about 500 °C to form rutile TiO 2 , thereby promoting rapid deterioration of the coating. The incorporation of aluminum into the cubic lattice slows down the degradation oxidation of TiN coatings by forming a protective aluminum-rich oxide film at the coating surface. [0003] While providing enhancements to...
