Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tool preparation, and in particular to a coating for a tool, a highly wear-resistant and long-life coating tool applicable to a wide temperature range, and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Modern manufacturing industry has put forward a series of stringent requirements on the machining accuracy and surface quality of mechanical parts. Generally, the machining surface of high-performance parts is required to reach sub-nanometer surface roughness and nanometer flatness, and the surface / sub-surface is free of damage, but traditional cutting equipment and machining tools are difficult to meet such requirements. The demand for high-speed and high-precision dry cutting is increasing. During high-speed dry cutting, the local temperature of the tool exceeds 1000℃, so the tool is required to have good high-temperature oxidation resistance and wear resistance. Depositing a hard coating on the tool surface can effectively extend the tool life and improve the machining quality, which is a commonly used tool strengthening method.

[0003] Commonly used coated tools include TiN tools, TiAlN tools, etc. However, due to the poor thermal stability of TiN coating, the application scope of TiN tools is greatly limited. On the one hand, TiAlN tools undergo strip decomposition at high temperatures, which strengthens the mechanical properties of the coating; on the other hand, they are challenged by poor performance after long-term use. In addition, TiAlN coatings also face many problems such as difficult to control Al content, high internal stress in the coating, and low bonding strength.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop new types of highly wear-resistant and long-life coated tools suitable for a wide temperature range. For alloy materials, adding early transition metal elements such as Nb and W can effectively improve the high-temperature mechanical properties of alloy materials. In the TiN system, elements such as Nb and W have similar chemical properties to the Ti element and can form face-centered cubic crystals Fcc with N. Adding them to TiN can replace some Ti atoms in the crystal, increase the configuration entropy of the system, and thus increase its thermal stability. At present, there are no reports on the application of TiNbHfWN coating systems in cutting tools. The present invention provides a new method for using TiNbHfWN coatings as tool protective coatings. Summary of the invention

The outer sub - coating is a single - phase face - centered cubic crystal structure. Ti atoms occupy the face - centered positions, while N atoms occupy the vertex positions. The thickness of the outer sub - coating is designed to be 1.8 μm.

[0068] The inner sub - coating is a single - phase hexagonal close - packed structure hcp - Ti, and the thickness of the inner sub - coating is 0.12 μm.

[0069] Comparative Example 1 of the present invention is a method for preparing a double-layer coated tool, comprising the following steps:

[0070] S1: Using a Ti target to deposit a coating of a set thickness on the etched tool substrate surface by reactive magnetron sputtering;

[0071] S2: Inert gas is introduced into the chamber, the bias voltage is set to -350 V, and the surface of the tool substrate is etched for a set time, and the etching time is 12 minutes;

[0074] S5: The substrate is heated to 300° C. in the cavity and kept at this temperature for 140 min to obtain a coated tool.

[0075] Table 1 is a comparison of the surface hardness properties of the coatings prepared in Example 1, Example 2, and Comparative Example 1 at different temperatures.

[0076] Table 1 Comparison of surface hardness properties at different temperatures (unit: GPa)

[0077] 25℃ 300℃ 600℃ 800℃ Example 1 16.8 12.4 6.8 8.7 Example 2 14.1 10.9 8.4 5.6 Comparative Example 1 12.5 9.1 6.4 3.3

[0078] From the data comparison in Table 1, it can be seen that the surface hardness of the double-coated tool prepared in the embodiment of the present invention is better than that of the tool coating in Comparative Example 1 in the temperature range of 25 to 800°C, indicating that the double-coated tool provided by the present invention is applicable in a wider temperature range than the coated tools in the prior art.

[0079] The hardness test method is as follows:

[0080] The substrate surface was polished to a mirror surface, and after the coating was deposited, it was tested using a G200 nanoindenter (MTS). The indenter was a diamond Berkovich indenter, and the continuous stiffness method was used for testing. The indentation depth was controlled to be 1 / 3 of the coating thickness. The hardness of 10 different points was measured, and the average value was taken as the hardness of the coating.

[0081] Figure 2The variation of flank wear of the coated tools prepared in Example 1, Example 2 and Comparative Example 1 with cutting length during cutting is compared with that of the uncoated tools. Figure 2 In the middle, number 4 is the variation of flank wear of the uncoated tool with cutting length, number 5 is the variation of flank wear of the TiN coated tool with cutting length, number 6 is the variation of flank wear of the TiNbWN coated tool with cutting length, and number 7 is the variation of flank wear of the TiNbHfWN coated tool with cutting length.

[0082] Depend on Figure 2 By comparison, it can be seen that the flank wear of the coated tool prepared in the embodiment of the present invention is less than that of other comparative samples and uncoated tools. The longer the cutting length, the more obvious this advantage is, as can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. These data fully demonstrate that the service life of the double-layer coated tool provided by the present invention is greatly improved compared with the coated tool of the prior art.

[0083] The cutting test method is as follows:

[0084] Processing method: continuous dry cutting;

[0085] Material: Ductile iron;

[0086] Tool model: CCMT 09T3 08-MF S205;

[0087] Cutting conditions: cutting speed 150m / min, feed 0.1mm / z, cutting depth 0.1mm;

[0088] The wear amount VB (unit μm) of the tool flank after cutting different lengths was measured using an OLYMPUS SZ61 optical super-depth microscope with a scale.

[0089] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
