Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sintered carbonitride alloy with Ti as main component and a cobalt binder phase, which has im- proved properties particularly when used as tool material for steel and cast iron cutting. More particularly, the present invention relates to a carbonitride-based alloy of specific composition and controlled relative saturation magnetization and coercivity for optimal combination of abrasive wear resistance, toughness and resistance to plastic deformation.
- Titanium-based carbonitride alloys so called cermets
- cermets are widely used for metal cutting purposes.
- cermets have excellent chemical stability when in contact with hot steel, even if it is uncoated, but have substan- tially lower toughness. This makes them most suited for finishing operations, which generally are characterized by limited mechanical loads on the cutting edge and a high surface finish requirement on the finished component.
- Cermets comprise carbonitride hard constituents embedded in a metallic binder phase generally of Co and/or Ni.
- the hard constituent grains generally have a complex structure with a core, most often surrounded by one or more rims of other composition.
- group Via elements normally both Mo and W, are added to facilitate wetting between binder and hard constituents and to strengthen the binder phase by means of solution hardening.
- group IVa and/or Va elements e.g. Zr, Hf, V, Nb and Ta, are also added in all commercial alloys available today. Cermets are produced using powder metallurgical methods. Powders forming binder phase and powders forming hard constituents are mixed, pressed and sintered.
- US 6,344,170, US 6,344,445 and US 6,325,838 relate to a sintered body of a carbonitride alloy with titanium as main component with improved properties when used as cutting tool material. This has been achieved by combining a carbonitride based hard phase of specific chemical composition with an extremely solution hardened Co binder phase. By optimizing composition and sintering process in the Ti-Ta-W-C-N-Co system improved toughness and resistance to plastic deformation are accomplished. The two parameters that are used to optimize toughness and resistance to plastic deformation are the Ta- and Co-contents.
- the use of pure Co-based binder is a major advantage over mixed Co-Ni-based binders with respect to the toughness behavior due to the differences in solution hardening between Co and Ni .
- US 7,332,122, and US 7,157,044 are similar. They relate to a titanium based carbonitride alloy containing Ti, Nb, W, C, N and Co. By replacing Ta in US 6,344,170 by Nb and carefully controlling the amount of undissolved Ti (C, N) cores a further optimization of technological properties has been achieved. More particularly, said patents relate to a carbonitride-based hard phase of specific composition, for which the amount of undissolved Ti (C, N) cores is optimized for maximal abrasive wear resistance, while the Co and Nb contents are simultaneously optimized to give the desired toughness and resistance to plastic deformation.
- Fig. 1 shows the microstructure in detail and Fig. 2 shows the microstructure in a lower magnification of an alloy according to the invention as observed in back scattering mode in a scanning electron microscope in which
- A depicts undissolved Ti (C, N) -cores
- B depicts a complex carbonitride phase sometimes surrounding the A-cores and C depicts the Co binder phase.
- optimum combination of abrasive wear resistance, toughness, resistance to plastic deformation and work piece surface finish for the intended application area has been achieved by op- timizing the amount of carbo-nitride formers dissolved in the Co based binder, the ratio between Ta and Nb and the hard constituent grain size.
- the content of dissolved carbo-nitride formers in the binder phase may be expressed by the S-value, the magnetic saturation of the sample divided by the magnetic saturation of the same amount of pure Co as in the sample.
- the S-value depends on the content of dissolved metals in the binder phase and increases with decreasing amount of solutes.
- the sintered grain size of the hard constituents may be expressed by the magnetic coercivity.
- the Co content must be chosen to give the desired properties for the envisioned application area. This is best achieved by a Co content of 7 to 21 wt%. In a first embodiment the Co-content is 8 to 15 wt% and, particularly, for fine machining applications the Co content must be 8 to 10 wt% and for applications requiring balanced resistance to plastic deformation and toughness 12 to 15 wt%. In a second embodiment requiring higher toughness the preferred Co content is 15 to 20 wt%.
- the W content must be 14 to 22 wt%, preferably 16 to 19 wt%.
- the Ta content must be 5 to 11 wt%, preferably 6 to 9 wt%.
- the Nb content must be 2 to 7 wt%, preferably 3 to 5 wt%.
- the Ti content must be 33 to 50 wt%, preferably 37 to 47 wt%.
- the ratio between added Ta wt% and Nb wt% must be 1.8 to 2.1.
- the overall N/C weight ratio in the sintered alloy must be in the range 0.6 to 0.75.
- the C content must be adjusted such that the relative satura- tion magnetization is within 0.60 to 0.90, preferably 0.65 to 0.80.
- a method of manufacturing a sintered titanium-based carbonitride alloy In another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a sintered titanium-based carbonitride alloy. Hard constituent powders of TiC x N]__ x , having x in the range 0.45- 0.55 and an FSSS grain size of 1 to 2 ⁇ m, TaC, NbC and WC are mixed with powder of Co to a composition within the limits given above and pressed into bodies of desired shape.
- Sintering is per- formed in a N2 ⁇ Ar atmosphere, having a total pressure of 10-40 mbar and a partial pressure of N2 of 0.5 to 4 mbar, at a temperature in the range 1370-1500 0 C for 0.5-1 h. It is within the purview of the skilled artisan to determine by experiments the conditions necessary to obtain the desired microstructure according to this specification.
- the powders were spray dried and pressed into SNUN120408 inserts.
- the inserts were dewaxed in H 2 and subsequently sintered in a N2 ⁇ Ar atmosphere, total pressure of 10 mbar and a partial pressure of N2 of 1 mbar, for 1.0 h at 148O 0 C which was followed by grinding and conventional edge treatment.
- Polished cross sections of inserts were prepared by standard metallographic techniques and characterized using scanning electron microscopy.
- Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show a scanning electron micrographs of such a cross section, taken in back scattering mode. The porosity was determined according to ISO 4505 standard. Magnetic properties were determined by standard methods.
- the porosity levels of alloys outside the preferred relative magnetic saturation range are higher and, thus, detrimental for the toughness.
- Inserts of type DCMT 11T304 of alloys D and E according to example 2 were prepared.
- the magnetic properties of alloy E is within the present invention. However, the saturation magnetization of alloy D is outside.
- the surface roughness of the work piece, Ra was monitored as a function of cutting time. At shorter times, ⁇ 5 min the Ra value was similar for the two alloys, 1.2 ⁇ m. After 1 h of turning the Ra value for alloy D was 3.3 ⁇ m and for alloy E 1.8 ⁇ m. The considerably better surface finish of the work piece for alloy E is due to a better resistance to wear.
- Example 4 Cutting tests utilizing inserts of type DCMT 11T304 of alloys G (outside invention) and F (according to invention) in a high toughness demanding work piece were done with following cutting data :
- the resistance to plastic deformation was determined as the maxi- mum cutting speed at which no plastic deformation of the edge was detected.
