Abstract

The present invention relates to a sintered body for chip forming machining containing at least one hard constituent comprising a carbide, nitride and/or carbonitride of a metal of group IVB, VB or VIB in the periodical system and a binder metal based upon Co, No and/or Fe, in which the body comprises a core containing eta-phase or an intermediate phase, substantially free of carbon and/or nitrogen surrounded by a hard constituent- and binder phase-containing surface zone, free of said eta-phase or intermediate phase.

Description

.Iadd.This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/702,025, filed May 17, 1991, now abandoned. .Iaddend.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sintered body useful for cutting operations such as preferably milling and turning.
In Swedish patent applications 8405667-0 (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 06/791,556) and 8503804-0 it has been shown that an increased strength was obtained in sintered bodies of cemented carbide used in tools for rock drilling and also in wear parts by manufacturing said sintered body so that its core comprises a fine grained eta phase, M6 C (e.g. Co3 W3 C) and/or M12 C (e.g. Co6 W6 C), embedded in normal alpha (WC) + beta (Co binder phase) structure at the same time as the sintered body has a surrounding surface zone which consists merely of alpha + beta-phase. Furthermore, said surface zone has an outer part with low content of beta-phase, (binder phase), and an inner part - between the outer .[.paart.]. .Iadd.part .Iaddend.and the eta phase containing core - which has a high content of binder phase.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 is a representation of a cross-sectional view of a cutting edge of a cemented carbide cutting insert made according to the present invention.
SUMMARY OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
Surprisingly, it has now been found that cemented carbide cutting inserts, being manufactured so that the above mentioned structure has been obtained, also show highly improved cutting performance in chip forming machining (milling) compared to conventional cemented carbide cutting inserts.
Furthermore, it has also been surprisingly found that just as strong improvements are obtained incurring such as turning if the cemented carbide body contains cubic carbides (so-called .[.gramma.]. .Iadd.gamma .Iaddend.phase) based upon TiC, TaC or NbC in addition to alpha-, beta- and eta-phase. This is particularly surprising because cemented carbide grades for turning (particularly coated grades) are normally very brittle if they contain eta-phase. But because of the above mentioned structure the disadvantages of the eta-phase have been eliminated.
The considerably lower content of binder phase in the outer part of the zone free of eta-phase in relation to the inner part will in this case lead to compressive stresses arising in the zone nearest to the surface which has a positive effect upon the strength and the toughness of the body. At the same time, the wear resistance of said surface zone is also increased by the high content of hard constituents (metal carbides). An increase of the thermoshock resistance has also been obtained which results in a reduction in the initiation and growth of thermal cracks. This can be explained by the different levels of thermal expansion of the two zones in the part free of eta-phase. The outer, binder phase depleted zone has a smaller thermal expansion than the inner zone rich in binder phase.
In FIG. 1, a cross section of a cutting edge .Iadd.of a cutting insert .Iaddend.according to the present invention is shown. In the figure, A is .[.A.]. .Iadd.a .Iaddend.cemented carbide comprising alpha-, beta-, eta- and possible gammaphase, B1 is the cemented carbide having alpha-, high content of beta- and possibly gamma phase, B2 is the .Iadd.same as the .Iaddend.cemented carbide .[.or.]. B1 having a lower content of beta phase. The .[.ete-phase.]. .Iadd.eta-phase .Iaddend.in the core A shall be finely distributed, usually with a grain size of 0.5-20 μm, preferably 1-10 μm, and the content of eta-phase shall be at least 2% by volume, preferably at least 10% by volume, but at the most 60% by volume, preferably maximally 35% by volume. The thickness of the zone B1 shall be at the most 1000 μm, and usually 50-500 μm and preferably about 100-300 μm and the zone B2 shall be at the most 300 μm, usually 10-100 μm and preferably about 50 μm thick. The content of binder phase in zone B1 shall be more than 1.2, preferably 1.4-2.5, of the nominal content of binder phase and in zone B2 0.1-0.9, preferably 0.2-0.7, of the nominal content of binder phase.
In cutting operations requiring a great toughness, a further improvement of the cemented carbide-containing gamma phase can be obtained if the sintered body has nearest to the surface a thin zone, at the most 50 μm, usually 10-30 μm, preferably about 15-20 μm, thick which is gamma phase depleted and has higher content of binder phase than B2, see B3 in FIG. 1. Said zone, B3, can also in certain cases contain small amounts of free graphite without impairing the performance. It is also possible that said zone B3, can have an increased content of gamma phase in a thin part of the zone at the most 10 μm, usually 0.5-5 μm, preferably about 1-2 μm, thick nearest to the surface together with the gamma-phase-free structure described above.
An alternative embodiment for cutting applications where the toughness behaviour is of greatest importance is: The core A shall be of the same type as described above, the thickness of the zone B1 shall be at the most 200 μm, usually 30-100 μm and preferably about 50-80 μm and the zone B2 shall be at the most 15 μm, usually 0-10 μm and preferably less than 2 μm thick and the zone B3 shall be at the most 75 μm usually 10-40 μm and preferably 15-30 μm thick. The content of binder phase in zone B1 shall be more than 1.2, preferably 1.4-2.5 of the nominal content of binder phase and in the zone B3 more than 1.2, preferably 1.4-2, of the nominal content of binder phase.
Particularly in turning applications, it has been found suitable to coat the cemented carbide body with wear resistant layers, zone .[.c.]. .Iadd.C .Iaddend.in FIG. 1, comprising one or more coatings of carbides, nitrides and/or oxides in order to obtain sufficient wear resistance. Said coating is deposited by known techniques (CVD or PVD). During the coating process, particularly using CVD-technique, small amounts of eta-phase can be formed, especially in the edges .Iadd.of the .Iaddend.cemented carbide being coated. Coatings can be deposited on cutting inserts, which do or do not have the zone B3. Because cutting inserts for turning and milling sometimes have to be ground to accurate dimensions, the zone B2 in certain cases can also be more or less missing.
It has also been found that the cobalt in the eta-phase and the binder-phase can be substituted completely or partly by the metals iron and/or nickel.
In another alternative embodiment, the carburization is carried further so that a thicker zone free of eta-phase is obtained. The eta-phase core should in that case be 10-95%, preferably 40-75%, of the dimensions of the body. Especially, the carburization can be carried so far that all the eta-phase just disappears which results in a body with a high content of binder phase in the center and decreasing content towards the surface. The content of binder phase in the surface shall be 0.1-0.9, preferably 0.4-0.7, of the nominal content. In the centre the content of binder phase shall be at least 1.2, preferably 1.4-2.5, of the nominal binder phase content and be present in the form of a zone with a uniform content of binder phase and with a width of 0.05-0.5, preferably 0.1-0.3, of the width of the body.
In the .[.next.]. .Iadd.text .Iaddend.above and in the examples, the positive effects of eta-phase in the center of cemented carbide cutting inserts are shown only for those cases where the alpha-phase comprises WC, the gamma-phase comprises TiC, TiN, TaC and NbC and the beta-phase is based upon one or more of the iron group metals (iron, nickel or cobalt). Preliminary tests have shown, however, that very promising results are obtained also when the alpha phase comprises a solid solution of MoC and WC i.e. (Mo, W)C with the same hexagonal structure as pure WC. Furthermore, good results have been reached when the gamma-phase completely or partly comprises other carbide-forming metals of the groups IVB, VB or VI, i.e. Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta and W. Positive results have also been obtained when the carbides in the gamma phase are partially substituted by nitrides of the group IVB, VB or VIB metals. The gamma phase may also contain certain amounts of oxygen.
Tests have also been performed with so called cermets, cutting meterials in which the main part of the hard constituents comprises phases based upon TiC-TiN alloyed with other carbide- or nitride-forming elements. The binder phase essentially comprises the iron group metals Co, Ni or Fe and is often alloyed with other elements such as W, Mo, Nb, Ti, Ta, Cr or Al. At low contents of carbon and/or nitrogen, cermet cutting inserts will also contain, besides the usual phases TiN, Ti(C,N), (Ti, W, Mo) (C,N) and metal binder, intermediate phases being more or less free of carbon and/or nitrogen and being formed by the iron group elements (Ni, Co, Fe) and the carbide- or nitride-forming metals, for example Ni3 Ti-phase. Said phase can also contain other elements than Ni and Ti. In addition, the Ni3 Ti- or Ni3 (Al,Ti)-phase can be precipitated in the form of finely dispersed small particles of the .[.gramma-prime.]. .Iadd.gamma-prime .Iaddend.type by a suitable heat treatment. At sufficiently low contents of C and N even eta-phases of the type M6 C or M12 C where M=W, Mo, Cr, Co, Ni, etc, can be formed. Cermet cutting insets with substoichiometric composition in respect to carbon and nitrogen and with finely distributed Ni3 Ti in the entire cutting insert after a carbonitriding heat treatment have a surface zone free of intermediate phases of the type Ni3 Ti (or eta-phase). The thickness of the zone shall be less than 2 mm, preferably less than 0.3 mm. Like conventional cemented carbide cutting inserts of WC-Co or WC-Co-gamma phase type, it has been found that a certain enrichment of the hard carbonitride-phase has taken place in the outer part of the surface zone of the cutting insert. The heat treatment can easily be controlled so that essentially nitride phases or carbide phases are formed in the surface zone. Furthermore, it has been found that the Ti(C,N)-phase in the inner core is somewhat substoichiometric in respect to C and N while in the surface zone it has a more or less stoichiometric composition with respect to carbon and nitrogen.
The invention is additionally illustrated in connection with the following Examples which are to be considered as illustrative of the present invention. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the specific details of the Examples.
EXAMPLE 1
Cutting inserts for milling (TNJN 1204 AN-geometry) were pressed from a WC-8% Co powder with 0.3% substoichiometric carbon content (5.3instead of 5.6% C). The inserts were presintered in N2 gas for 1 h at 900° C. and standard sintered at 1450° C. After that, half the number of cutting inserts were ground to final shape. Said ground inserts were sparsely packed in fine Al2 03 - powder in graphite boxes and thermally treated in a carburizing atmosphere for 0.5 h at 1350° C. in a pusher type furnace. During the sintering, a structure of alpha+beta-phase with uniformly distributed, fine grained eta-phase therein was formed. During the thermal treatment a very narrow zone of solely alpha+beta structure was formed in the surface of the cutting inserts because carbon diffuses into the cutting inserts and transforms the eta-phase to alpha+beta-phase. The thickness of the zone free of eta-phase was determined to 0.3 mm and the thickness of the part having a low content of cobalt to 0.05 mm. In the very cutting edge, the zones were somewhat thicker. The content of Co in the outer zone having of low content of cobalt was determined to 4% and in the Co-rich inner part of the zone free of eta-phase to 12%. The cutting inserts were then coated by ordinary CVD-technique with 3 μm TiC+1 μm Al2 03.
