Abstract

There are provided a cubic boron nitride sintered body having a surface also excellent in adhesiveness to a ceramic coating film, while having excellent wear resistance and defect resistance, and a manufacturing method thereof, and a tool. The cubic boron nitride sintered body of the present invention includes 60.0 to 90.0% by volume of cubic boron nitride, the remainder being a binder phase, wherein the binder phase contains: at least any of a nitride, a boride, and an oxide of Al; at least any of a carbide, a nitride, a carbonitride, and a boride of Ti; and a compound represented by the following formula (1): W 2 Ni x Co (1-x) B 2 (0.40≤x<1)  (1).

Claims (15)

1. A cubic boron nitride sintered body comprising 60.0 to 90.0% by volume of cubic boron nitride, the remainder being a binder phase, wherein

the binder phase comprises: at least any of a nitride, a boride, and an oxide of Al; at least any of a carbide, a nitride, a carbonitride, and a boride of Ti; and a compound represented by the following formula (1):

W 2 Ni x Co (1-x) B 2 (0.40≤x<1)  (1), and

a degree of envelope of perimeter length of cubic boron nitride particles is 0.600 to 0.900.

2. The cubic boron nitride sintered body according to claim 1 , wherein in an X-ray diffraction spectrum using CuKα as a radiation source, a ratio IA/IB of diffraction peak intensity IA attributed to a (112) plane of the compound represented by the formula (1) to diffraction peak intensity IB attributed to a (111) plane of cubic boron nitride is in a range of 0.330 to 0.750.

3. The cubic boron nitride sintered body according to claim 1 , comprising TiB 2 as the boride of Ti, wherein

in the X-ray diffraction spectrum using CuKα as the radiation source, a ratio IC/IB of diffraction peak intensity IC attributed to a (101) plane of TiB 2 to the diffraction peak intensity IB attributed to the (111) plane of cubic boron nitride is in a range of 0.140 to 0.750.

4. The cubic boron nitride sintered body according to claim 1 , having an electrical resistivity at 25° C. of 1.0×10 −5 to 5.0×10 −2 Ω·cm.

5. A manufacturing method of the cubic boron nitride sintered body according to claim 1 , comprising the steps of:

mixing and crushing a blend comprising: blended raw materials comprising an Al source, a Ti source, a Ni source, a W source, and a Co source; and a cubic boron nitride powder to obtain a raw material mixture;

heat-treating the raw material mixture at 500 to 800° C. for degassing to obtain a heat-treated powder; and

subjecting the heat-treated powder to pressurization and heating treatment under an inert gas atmosphere at 3.0 GPa or more and 1200 to 1500° C. to obtain a cubic boron nitride sintered body.

6. A tool comprising the cubic boron nitride sintered body according to claim 1 as a constituent material.

7. The tool according to claim 6 , for cutting or grinding.

8. The tool according to claim 6 , comprising a ceramic coating film on a surface of the cubic boron nitride sintered body.
