Definitions
- titanium carbide and titanium carbonitride hard metal can only be used to a limited extent as cutting tools, especially at high cutting speeds and with cyclical thermal loads (such as during milling); under the effect of the high temperatures occurring at the cutting edge, the binder metal loses its strength and tends to undergo plastic deformation under the influence of the cutting forces.
- the significantly lower thermal conductivity of TiC-Mo, Ni and Ti (C, N) -Mo, Ni hard metals compared to tungsten carbide leads to heat build-up, especially at the most stressed point.
- Aluminum-containing complex carbides or complex nitrides should preferably be used, furthermore those complex carbides or complex nitrides which contain substances which have the same or similar effects to aluminum.
- the substances NbCrN, TaCrN, V5Si3N 1-x , Mo5Si3C 0.6 offer.
- aluminum-containing complex carbides and / or nitrides from the family of the H phases and / or Chi phases and / or Kappa phases are used.
- the aluminum-containing complex carbides and nitrides are produced by reaction of the nitride or carbide of aluminum with the powdery transition metals or by reaction of the nitrides or carbides of the transition metals with aluminum. They become common in the carbide industry Chen crushing methods pulverized and processed with the other alloy components of the hard metal in a conventional manner to a sintered hard metal body - in particular to cutting tools or cutting plates.
- the aluminum content of the binder metal is between 2 and 8% by mass.
- the monocarbides and nitrides of the transition metals which form during the reaction of the complex carbides and nitrides with the liquid binder metal are epitaxially deposited on the surface of the hard material particles and completely envelop the hard material particle.
- sintering temperatures between 1350 ° C and 1550 ° C and sintering times of up to 2 hours, the diffusion rates in the hard material particles are not sufficient to bring about a metallurgical equilibrium between the hard material particle in question and its shell made of monocarbides or nitrides of the transition metals.
- the sintered hard metal according to the invention combines the favorable properties of the carbides of the transition metals in the peripheral zone, which are readily wettable by the conventional binder metals, with the high wear resistance of the nitrides in the core and, due to the content of titanium and aluminum in the binder metal, has such a high wear resistance that the cutting tools produced therefrom or cutting inserts have significantly improved cutting performance.
- Another advantage of the hard metal according to the invention is that during the implementation of the complex carbides and -ni tride with the liquid binder metal forming monocarbides and nitrides of the transition metals are epitaxially deposited on the surface of the hard material particles and thus prevent a further change in the hard material core under the effect of the liquid binder metal.
- the existing carbides and / or mixed carbides and / or nitrides and / or mixed nitrides encased with a diffusion-inhibiting layer thus indicate from their structure that an equilibrium in the metallurgical sense has been avoided between the different hard materials within the hard material particle. This deliberately created imbalance condition results in the abovementioned improved wear resistance - even under extreme working conditions.
- the conventional hard metal used for comparison (see FIG. 1, left blocks) consists of 57% Tic, 10% TiN, 10% WC, 2% VC, 10% Mo as well as 5.5% Ni and 5.5% Co.
- the hard metals according to the invention with complex nitride-modified binder metal (cf. the blocks in the middle and on the right-hand side of FIG. 1) were made from the same base material with the addition of 0.6% or 2.2% Ti2AlN while simultaneously reducing the nickel and Cobalt content to 5.2% and 4.4% in a manner known per se; in the sintered hard metal, the associated aluminum content in the binder is about 2 or slightly more than 7%.
- the milling tests were carried out on a shaft made of tempered steel 42CrMo4 at a cutting speed of 250 m / min; the associated product of depth of cut, chip cross-section and feed per tooth is 1.0 x 120 x 0.1 mm / tooth.
- the improved wear resistance - which makes the hard metals according to the invention also interesting for other areas of application - is based on the fact that the starting mixture for producing the hard metal or hard metal body is composed in such a way that certain chemical reactions are initiated very quickly at the beginning of the melting of the binding phase, which result in the formation of a diffusion-inhibiting layer around the surface of the hard material particles of the starting mixture.
- the deliberate selection of the constituents forming the starting powder mixture therefore means that no metallurgical equilibrium can be established in the finished hard metal or hard metal body. This ensures that the optimum properties of the different hard material particles for the intended applications - such as the known wear resistance of the titanium nitride and the known excellent hardness of the titanium carbide - are retained in the finished hard metal.
- the metallurgical equilibrium which is usually given according to the prior art, these individual properties of the hard material particles according to the invention would at least partially be lost.
- FIG. 4 shows a table with eight exemplary embodiments for the composition of the starting powder mixture of the hard metal body according to the invention.
