The present invention relates to a coated cemented carbide cutting tool(indexable inserts) for the milling, particularly at high cutting speeds, of stainless steels of different composition and microstructure such as austenitic, ferritic, duplex, superaustenitic and precipitation hardened stainless steels but also for the milling of non-stainless steels such as low carbon steels and low and medium alloyed steels.
It is well known that for cemented carbide cutting tools used in the machining of steels, the cutting edge is worn by different wear mechanisms such as chemical and abrasive wear, but the tool edge may also fracture under a heavy intermittent cutting load resulting in so called edge chipping which is usually initiated by cracks formed perpendicularly to the cutting edge. This type of cracks are named comb cracks. Furthermore, different cutting conditions such as cutting speed, depth of cut, cutting feed rate and also external conditions, such as dry or wet machining, heavy vibrations of the work piece, etc., require a plurality of different properties of the cutting edge. For example, when applying a carbide cutting insert in the milling of a workpiece of a non-stainless steel or a stainless steel where the surface of the workpiece is covered by so called cast skin, or when milling under difficult external conditions such as heavy vibrations of the workpiece, a coated cemented carbide insert must be used where the insert includes a substrate of a tough cemented carbide grade and on the surface of the substrate, a hard and wear resistant refractory coating is deposited. The coating should be adherently bonded to the substrate and covering all functional parts of the insert. In addition, when milling a stainless steel, still another wear mechanism is active called adhesive wear which is caused by the adhesive force between the stainless steel chip and the cutting edge material. When the adhesive force grows large enough, edge chipping in the vicinity of the above mentioned comb cracks on the cutting edge will occur and, hence, the tool life will be shortened.
When using a cemented carbide cutting tool for the milling of a stainless steel at high cutting speeds (150-300 meter/min depending on the composition of the stainless steel), the thermal energy developed in the cutting edge is considerable and the entire tool edge may plastically deform. This type of wear mechanism is known as plastic deformation wear and, therefore, yet another requirement of the coated cemented carbide insert when being used at high cutting speeds, is that the selection of the carbide composition and the coating material results in a cutting edge exhibiting a high resistance to plastic deformation.
Commercial cemented carbide tools suitable for the machining of stainless steels and, in particular, carbide tools suitable for the milling of stainless steels are usually only optimized with respect to one or two of the required tool properties mentioned above i.e. high resistance to chemical, abrasive, adhesive and plastic deformation wear of a tough cemented carbide substrate coated with a wear resistant and an adherently bonded coating.
WO 97/20083 discloses a coated cemented carbide cutting tool particularly designed for the wet and dry milling of workpieces of low and medium alloyed steels or stainless steels, with or without abrasive surface zones, in machining operations requiring a high degree of toughness of the carbide cutting edge. The external cutting conditions are characterized by complex shapes of the workpiece, vibrations, chip hammering, recutting of the chips etc. The described cutting insert comprises a coated cemented carbide substrate containing WC with an average grain size of 1.7 μm together with cubic carbides and 11-12 wt % Co, a coating including a layer of TiCxNyOz with a columnar grain structure, a second layer of a smooth, finegrained κ-Al2O3 and an outermost third layer of TiN.
WO 97/20081 discloses a coated cemented carbide cutting tool particularly designed for the wet and dry milling of low and medium alloyed steels.

A very smooth cutting edge surface is optionally obtained by brushing the tool edges with brushes based on e.g. SiC.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a coated cemented carbide cutting tool for wet or dry machining, particularly at high cutting speeds, of stainless steels of different composition and microstructure, and of low and medium alloyed non-stainless steels, comprising: a WC−Co based cemented carbide body which comprises a WC+Co composition in the range of 10-12 wt % Co, 0.3-0.6 wt % Cr, an average WC grain size in the range of 1.0-1.6 μm and a low W-alloyed binder phase with a CW-ratio in the range of 0.87-0.96; and a hard and wear resistant coating having a thickness of 1 to 8 μm on said body that comprises: a first innermost thin layer of TiN; a second layer comprising a multilayered structure of 0.05-0.2 μm thick sublayers of the composition (TixAl1−x)N in which x varies repeatedly between the two ranges 0.45<x<0.55 and 0.70<x<0.80, the first sublayer of (TixAl1−x)N adjacent to the first TiN layer having an x-value in the range 0.45<x<0.55, the second sublayer of (TixAl1−x)N having an x-value in the range 0.70<x<0.80 and the third sublayer having x in the range 0.45<x<0.55 and so forth repeated until 12 to 25 sublayers are being built up; a third 0.1−0.5 μm thick layer of (TixAl1−x)N, where x is found in the range 0.45<x<0.55; and a fourth outermost thin layer of TiN, where the thickness of the second layer constitutes 75-95% of the total coating thickness.
The present invention also provides a coating for a cemented carbide substrate having a thickness of between 1 and 8 μm, comprising: a first innermost thin layer of TiN; a second layer, comprising a multilayered structure of 12 to 25 0.05 to 0.2 ,μm thick alternating sublayers of the composition (TixAl1−x)N in which x is either in a first range of between 0.45 and 0.55 or in a second range of between 0.70 and 0.80, the first sublayer adjacent the first TiN layer and subsequent odd sublayers having an x-value in the first range, and the second and subsequent even sublayers having a x-value in the second range; a third 0.1 to 0.5 μm thick layer of (TixAl1−x)N, where x is 0.45 to 0.55; and a fourth outermost layer thin layer of TiN; where the second layer constitutes 75-95% of the total coating thickness.
FIG. 1 is a micrograph of a polished cross section of a coated insert according to the present invention.
In FIG. 1, the micrograph of the polished cross section of the coated insert shows the cemented carbide body (A) on which the coating is applied. The coating comprises an innermost TiN layer (B), a layer of several (TixAl1−x)N sublayers (C), a further layer of (TixAl1−x)N (D) and an outermost TiN layer.
According to the present invention there is provided a coated cutting tool insert for the milling of stainless steels at high cutting speeds comprising a WC−Co based cemented carbide body including a small amount of Cr and with a composition of WC+Co in the range of 10-12 wt % Co, preferably 10-11 wt % Co and most preferably 10.2-10.8 wt % Co, and a Cr concentration in the range of 0.3-0.6 wt %, preferably 0.4-0.5 wt % and the balance is made up by WC. The average WC grainsize is found in the range of 1.0-1.6 μm, preferably 1.1-1.4 μm and most preferably 1.15-1.3 μm. The grainsize of WC is highly affected by the Cr concentration. The cobalt binder phase is alloyed with a small amount of W and the concentration of W in the binder phase can be expressed as the CW-ratio (CW=Ms/ (wt% Co* 0.0161)), where Ms is the measured saturation magnetization of the cemented carbide body in kA/meter and wt % Co is the weight percentage of Co in the cemented carbide. The saturation magnetization depends on the concentration of W in the binder phase, hence, the CW-value is a function of the W content in the Co binder phase as well. A large CW-value corresponds to a low W-content in the binder phase. For improved cutting performance, according to the present invention, the cemented carbide substrate should have a CW-ratio in the range of 0.87-0.96, preferably 0.88-0.95, and most preferably 0.89-0.93. The cemented carbide substrate preferably should not contain any free graphite.

The thickness of this second layer comprising a multilayered structure of sublayers constitutes 75-95% of the total coating thickness. The individual sublayers of (TixAl1−x)N are essentially of the same thickness but their thickness may also vary in a regular or irregular way and said sublayer thickness is generally found in the range of 0.05-0.02 μm.
a third thin 0.1-0.5 μm layer of (TixAl1−x)N having an x-value in the range 0.45<x<0.55.
a fourth (outermost) thin preferably 0.1-0.2 μm layer of TiN.
The total thickness of the coating deposited on the cemented carbide substrate according to the present invention may vary in the range of 1-8 μm, preferably 2-5 μm. The layer thickness, the sublayer thickness and the coating thickness quoted above refers to measurements made close to the cutting edge, i.e. the functional part of the cutting tool.
The present invention also relates to a method of making a coated cutting tool insert for the milling of stainless steels at high cutting speeds comprising a WC−Co based cemented carbide body including a small amount of Cr and with a composition of WC+Co in the range of 10-12 wt % Co, preferably 10-11 wt % Co and most preferably 10.2-10.8 wt % Co, and a Cr concentration in the range of 0.3-0.6 wt %, preferably 0.4-0.5 wt % and the balance is made up by WC. The average WC grainsize is found in the range of 1.0-1.6 μm, preferably 1.1-1.4 μm and most preferably 1.15-1.3 μm.
The hard and wear resistant refractory coating is deposited onto the cemented carbide substrate by applying conventional PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) or CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) methods and according to the present invention said coating comprises:
a first (innermost) thin, preferably, 0.1-0.5 μm bonding layer of TiN
a second layer comprising a multilayered structure of sublayers of the composition (TixAl1−x)N in which x varies repeatedly between the two ranges 0.45<x<0.55 and 0.70<x<0.80. The first sublayer of(TixAl1−x)N adjacent to the TiN bonding layer having an x-value in the range 0.45<x<0.55, the second sublayer of (TixAl1−x)N having an x-value in the range 0.70<x<0.80 and the third sublayer having x in the range 0.45<x<0.55 and so forth repeated until 12-25 sublayers, preferably 22-24 sublayers, are being built up. The thickness of this second layer comprising a multilayered structure of sublayers constitutes 75-95% of the total coating thickness.
