Title:
SURFACE-COATED CUTTING TOOL HAVING RIGID COATING LAYER EXHIBITING EXCELLENT CHIPPING RESISTANCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/038840
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In a surface-coated cutting tool according to the present invention, a rigid coating layer contains at least a composite-nitride or composite-carbonitride layer represented by compositional formula: (Ti1 - xAlx) (CyN1 - y), wherein the average content ratio xavg of Al and the average content ratio yavg of C (xavg and yavg each represent an atomic ratio) satisfy 0.60 ≤ xavg ≤ 0.95 and 0 ≤ yavg ≤ 0.005. Among crystal grains forming the composite-nitride or composite-carbonitride layer, crystal grains each having a cubic crystal structure exist. When the surface-polishing surface of the layer surface is analyzed from a direction perpendicular to the layer surface: the crystal grains each having a cubic crystal structure have an average in-crystal-grain orientation difference of not less than 1 degree or of not less than 2 degrees; and also, a frequency distribution regarding an average in-crystal-grain orientation difference and the area ratio thereof has the peak in the range in which the average in-crystal-grain orientation difference is not less than 1 degree but less than 2 degrees.
