Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical cutting tools, in particular to a method for producing a nano-TiO 2 Coated micro-textured tool and method for preparing the same. Background Art

[0002] Innovation in cutting technology, especially the improvement of cutting tool technology, is the key to promoting the development of this field. New processing methods such as dry cutting and high-speed cutting have put forward higher requirements on tool performance, prompting the industry to explore new tool materials, surface micro-textures, coating technologies and geometric structure optimization.

[0003] The surface texturing and coating treatment of cemented carbide tools have become an important way to improve performance. Surface texturing technology forms a micro-texture array with specific size and shape on the surface of the tool by precise processing. Compared with the smooth surface, this specific micro-textured surface exhibits better tribological properties. It can effectively reduce the tool-chip contact area during the processing process, and at the same time has the function of capturing chips and storing lubricating materials, thereby optimizing the cutting process. As an advanced surface modification method, surface coating technology aims to improve the cutting performance of the tool, extend its service life and improve processing efficiency by coating a thin film with specific properties on the surface of the tool.

[0004] However, the bonding problem between the coating and the substrate material has always been the key factor restricting the performance of coated tools. Traditional coating manufacturing technologies, such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition (PVD), have their own advantages, but also have obvious limitations. The deposition temperature of CVD technology is high, which can easily cause thermal damage to the tool substrate material, and the coating thickness control is imprecise and the shape retention is poor; while PVD technology has a fast deposition speed, but the coating bonding force is relatively low. It is mainly suitable for the deposition of planar structures and is difficult to meet the needs of complex structures. ALD technology achieves atomic-level precision control of coating thickness through saturated chemical adsorption self-limiting reaction and exhibits strong bonding force. In addition, its low-temperature deposition characteristics effectively reduce residual thermal stress, and high shape retention ensures high step coverage of the coating on complex structures, especially effective coverage of micro-textured structures. When the coating material reaches the nanoscale, its physical and mechanical properties are significantly improved, showing a lower friction coefficient. More importantly, the synergy between surface texturing technology and surface coating technology is expected to further improve the cutting performance of the tool. How to combine surface texturing technology and ALD deposition technology to develop new nano-scale coating tools with high bonding strength is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0019] (3.3) After the pressure in the deposition chamber is pumped down to 0.5 Pa, nitrogen gas is introduced into the pipeline at a nitrogen flow rate of 50 to 200 sccm;

[0020] (3.4) Heat the deposition chamber with a tube furnace at a heating rate of 4-6°C / min to 200°C. At the same time, heat the TiCl 4 Source bottle and H 2 O source bottle, TiCl 4 Source bottle and H 2 Heat the O source bottle to 30-50℃ and keep it warm for 1-1.5h. 4 Source bottle and H 2 The valve of the O source bottle is controlled by a pneumatic valve. 4 and H 2 O vapor is introduced to perform an atomic layer deposition cycle.

[0028] Diamond micro-texture was processed on the surface of cemented carbide by laser processing. The parameters of laser processing were as follows: scanning speed of 50 mm / s, laser power of 12 W, laser frequency of 20 kHz, and scanning times of 1 time. The side length of the processed diamond micro-texture was 200-500 μm, the width of the groove was 50 μm, the depth of the groove was 20 μm, and it filled the entire tool-chip contact area. The distance between the main cutting edge and the secondary cutting edge of the tool was 0.1-0.2 mm. After processing, the processed surface was polished with 2000-mesh SiC sandpaper to remove the protrusions on the edge of the micro-texture caused by cooling and recasting, and to reduce the irregular surface contour. The best wear reduction effect was achieved when the side length of the diamond was 400 μm.

[0029] The diamond microtexture has three orientations with a phase difference of 120°, a diamond side length of 200 to 500 μm, a groove width of 50 μm, and a depth of 20 μm.

[0030] The micro-textured area covers at least the tool-chip contact area on the rake face.

[0033] Working principle: The tool base material of the present invention is cemented carbide, multi-oriented diamond micro-texture is processed on the front cutting surface, and the coating is TiO 2 The micro-texture of the coated micro-textured tool is produced by laser processing. 2 The coating is prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology, and the coating thickness is precisely controlled at 50 to 200 nm, and then annealed to enhance its stability. The microtexture in the present invention reduces the contact area between the tool and the chips, and also has the function of efficiently collecting chips and coating particles, thereby improving the friction conditions during the cutting process. The coating of the coated tool exhibits excellent bonding strength with the substrate, ensuring the high stability of the coating. The surface hardness of the coating is extremely high and the wear resistance is excellent, which significantly improves the overall durability of the tool.

[0034] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0035] (1) The present invention processes a multi-oriented diamond micro-texture on the surface of a cemented carbide tool by a comprehensive process of nanosecond laser processing combined with atomic layer deposition and deposits nanoscale TiO2 Coating. Microtexturing technology reduces the actual contact area between the tool surface and the chips, thereby reducing friction resistance and providing space to accommodate the chips, thereby effectively alleviating the bonding phenomenon between the tool and the chips.

[0036] (2) Atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology relies on the saturated chemical adsorption and reaction of chemical precursors on the substrate surface. In each deposition cycle, the precursor molecules are introduced into the reaction chamber and chemically adsorbed with the active sites on the substrate surface to form a monolayer. This adsorption is self-limiting, that is, when the surface active sites are fully occupied, the excess precursor molecules cannot continue to adsorb, thus ensuring that only one atomic layer is deposited in each cycle, achieving precise control of the coating thickness at the atomic scale, showing a high degree of uniformity and conformality, as well as excellent step coverage, ensuring effective and uniform coverage of the micro-texture morphology.

[0037] (3) In addition, the deposition temperature of ALD is low, which avoids the potential damage of high temperature to the tool substrate material and reduces the generation of residual thermal stress. The coating and the tool substrate show strong bonding force. This is because the atomic layer in the nanocoating forms a stable chemical bond connection through chemical saturation adsorption, has a high energy state, is not easy to be destroyed or fall off, and has a higher bonding strength than traditional coatings.

[0038] (4) The present invention performs post-annealing treatment on the deposited coating to further fill the pores and defects in the coating, making the coating structure more compact and uniform, thereby reducing the residual stress of the coating, reducing the stress concentration phenomenon, and improving the bonding strength and hardness of the coating. This treatment process also promotes the growth and phase change of grains in the coating and optimizes the microstructure of the coating.

[0039] (5) The present invention uses atomic layer deposition ALD technology to deposit TiO 2 The coating has high hardness and excellent heat resistance, providing protection for the micro-texture structure and strengthening the tool matrix. The presence of micro-texture not only increases the specific surface area of ​​the tool matrix surface, but also provides more active sites for coating deposition, accelerating the deposition efficiency of the coating. During the cutting process, the nanoparticles produced by the nano-coating material can enter the grooves of the micro-texture and form a sliding-rolling composite friction pair with the chips, thereby improving the friction condition. The synergistic effect of the micro-texture and the coating reduces the cutting resistance and greatly improves the cutting performance and service life of the tool.

[0040] (6) The tool of the present invention is suitable for cutting operations of low-hardness metal materials, greatly prolonging the service life of the tool and significantly improving the production efficiency of cutting processing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
