TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cutting machining, and particularly relates to a progressive modification passivation machining method for a PCD cutter edge. BACKGROUND
[0002] The structure and surface quality of a cutting tool edge have a crucial influence on its cutting performance. Edge passivation can customize the edge structure and effectively improve the edge surface quality, and has become a standard process for the preparation of high-performance tools. The main motivation for edge preparation is to improve edge strength to prevent early damage and other abnormal failures of the tool, improve tool life, and ensure the consistency of tool performance. It has been proven that the service life of tools after edge passivation treatment can be increased by at least 20%, and the service life of some types of tools can be increased by 1-3 times. Edge passivation is a kind of edge machining technology for eliminating micro defects at the edge and changing the micro-geometric shape of the edge. Common passivation methods include brush passivation, sandblasting passivation, and drag passivation. The main method is to remove the edge material through the relative movement of the abrasive and the tool edge. During passivation, the tool edge shape, size, and microstructure can be selected according to the actual machining conditions to prepare a suitable tool edge, which has a positive effect on prolonging the service life of the tool and improving the machining quality.
[0003] Chinese patent CN114227392A discloses a "machine tool cutter passivation equipment and passivation method thereof". The passivation method adopts a brush passivation process, which passivates the tool edge through the interaction between the nylon brush containing abrasive and the tool edge. When the brush is worn, new abrasive will be exposed to interact with the workpiece. The elastic brush wire is equivalent to a flexible file, which uniformly covers and files the tool edge to ensure that the passivated tool edge is flush and removes burrs on the tool surface. However, the passivation method has a greater impact on the sharpness of the brush under high cutting speed, which leads to a decrease in the sharpness of the brush. As the number of brush scraping cutting edges increases, the shape factor k value gradually decreases, indicating that the arc line on the exit surface is lengthened, which weakens the material removal capacity of the brush. The wear of the brush causes the deviation of the edge shape.
[0004] Chinese patent CN113732969A discloses "a diamond grinding wheel and its manufacturing method", which adopts diamond grinding wheel to grind hard alloy cutter edge, the diamond grinding wheel has high passivation size profile precision, uniform abrasive distribution and consistent abrasive layer embedding rate, and does not need to be modified during use, so that it can realize mass production of high-precision and high-efficiency rough and fine grinding integrated hard alloy cutter edge, and is beneficial to improve edge profile precision, stabilize edge quality, reduce production cost and improve production efficiency. However, when diamond grinding wheel is used to grind hard alloy cutter edge, the cutter edge after being ground by diamond grinding wheel will have different degrees of microscopic notches (i.e. small chipping and sawing), and the edge passivation part is uneven, thereby reducing the edge strength and shortening the service life of the cutter, and the microscopic notches of the cutter edge are easy to expand during cutting, reducing the cutting stability of the cutter and accelerating the wear and damage of the cutter.
[0005] Based on the high hardness and high wear resistance of PCD material, it is very difficult to process and form the cutter, especially in the process of cutter edge passivation, because the structure size is small and the material removal amount is required to be strict, so it is of great significance to develop a high-efficiency and accurate PCD cutter edge passivation method.

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-6 The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] Example 1:
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a progressive modification and passivation machining method for the cutting edge of a PCD tool, comprising the following steps:
[0052] Step S 100 The PCD cutting tool is cleaned to remove oil and dirt, resulting in a PCD cutting tool with a clean surface. Specific cleaning steps are as follows:
[0053] Step S 110 Rinse the PCD tool in a water bath with deionized water.
[0054] Step S 120 After washing the PCD tool, place it in a neutral detergent solution for cleaning, then ultrasonically clean it with pure water for 15 minutes, and finally rinse it with pure water.
[0055] Step S 130 The PCD tool was ultrasonically cleaned with isopropanol for 15 minutes, then ultrasonically cleaned with pure water for 15 minutes, and then rinsed with pure water.
[0056] Step S 140The cleaned PCD cutting tool is dried with nitrogen gas.
[0057] Step S 200 The PCD tool is fixed on a sputtering fixture and placed in a magnetron sputtering device, and the tool edge is subjected to progressive sputtering gold plating treatment; such as... Figure 2 As shown, the magnetron sputtering apparatus 1 includes a gold target 11 mounted at the top of the housing, a permanent magnet 2 mounted at the bottom of the housing, and a substrate tray 13 mounted on the permanent magnet 2. A sputtering fixture 3, with a PCD tool mounted on it, is eccentrically placed on the permanent magnet 2. The permanent magnet 2 has a diameter of 30 mm, and there is a 5 mm eccentricity between the permanent magnet and the center of the PCD tool. Utilizing the spatial magnetic field formed by the permanent magnet 2, an iron target 12 is placed between the cathode and the etching target to shield the internal magnetic field of the cathode. The iron target 12 can be used to shield the internal magnetic field of the cathode. For magnetron sputtering with an external magnetic field, the non-uniformity of the electromagnetic field on the target surface, especially the non-uniform distribution of the magnetic field, results in non-uniform plasma density, leading to non-uniform etching and deposition of target atoms. Therefore, after sputtering, the gold plating thickness on the PCD tool should gradually decrease. By controlling the thickness of the conductive plating layer on the cutting edge, a gradual gold plating thickness is obtained, ensuring the adaptability of the PCD tool cutting edge. The gold-plated PCD tool cutting edge has high conductivity during machining, thereby improving the machining efficiency of the PCD tool in the electrical discharge passivation process.
[0058] The magnetron sputtering process includes a gold target cleaning step to remove any dust or dirt that may be present on the gold target surface.

[0060] Step L2: Wipe the gold target material with a lint-free soft cloth soaked in alcohol to remove residual acetone;
[0061] Step L3: Clean the gold target material with deionized water, and then place the target material in an oven to dry at 100°C for 30 minutes.
[0062] The specific processing steps of the magnetron sputtering are as follows: start the magnetron sputtering device 1, fill it with Ar protective gas, and ignite it at a pressure of 5 Pa. Then adjust the gas extraction valve to reduce the gas pressure to 3 Pa and the sputtering power to 100 W. Rotate the substrate tray 13 to place the PCD tool cutting edge under the cathode target and deposit gold on the PCD tool cutting edge to form a gold film, thus obtaining the coated PCD tool.

The positioning screw 54 can be tightened to fix the mounting table 53 on the positioning plate 52, and the positioning screw 54 can be loosened to conveniently realize the movement of the mounting table.

The passivation main shaft 55 can drive the passivation electrode 56 to perform lifting action, and the machining alignment of the cutting edge of the PCD cutter and the passivation electrode 56 can be realized by moving the mounting table 53. The passivation treatment on the cutting edge of the PCD cutter is performed by positive polarity machining. The PCD cutter is connected to the positive pole of the pulse power supply, and the passivation electrode is connected to the negative pole of the pulse power supply. The pulse current of the electric spark passivation treatment is 1.2 A, the pulse width is 0.6 μs, the pulse interval is 1 μs, the duty cycle is T=0.375, the discharge gap is 10 μm, and the open circuit voltage is 120 v.
