Abstract

A cutting insert of one aspect is provided with a top surface having a polygonal shape and including a corner portion, a first side and a second side, each extending from the corner portion, a bottom surface, a side surface, and a cutting edge. The cutting edge includes a corner cutting edge disposed in a position corresponding to the corner portion, and a first cutting edge disposed in a position corresponding to the first side. The top surface includes an inclined surface provided with a first inclined surface disposed along the first side, a second inclined surface disposed along the second side, and a third inclined surface disposed along the corner portion. An inclination angle of the first inclined surface is greater than an inclination angle of the second inclined surface.

Claims (69)

1. A cutting insert comprising:

a top surface having a polygonal shape, and comprising:

a corner portion,

a first side and a second side, each extending from the corner portion;

a bottom surface;

a side surface located between the top surface and the bottom surface; and

a cutting edge located at an intersecting part of the top surface and the side surface;

wherein the cutting edge comprises

a corner cutting edge located at the intersecting part corresponding to the corner portion; and

a first cutting edge located at the intersecting part corresponding to the first side,

wherein the top surface comprises an inclined surface comprising:

a first inclined surface being flat and along the first side;

a second inclined surface being flat and along the second side; and

a third inclined surface-along the corner portion;

a flat surface located on an inner side of the inclined surface; and

a connecting surface, having a curved surface shape, and located between the inclined surface and the flat surface, and

wherein a width of the connecting surface between the first inclined surface and the flat surface is greater than a width of the connecting surface between the second inclined surface and the flat surface in a top view of the cutting insert, and

wherein an inclination angle of the first inclined surface is greater than an inclination angle of the second inclined surface.

2. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the second inclined surface in a direction orthogonal to the second side is greater than a width of the first inclined surface in a direction orthogonal to the first side in a top view of the cutting insert.

3. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein

the top surface further comprises a protruding portion:

located on an inner side of the flat surface; and

protruding towards the corner cutting edge, and

the protruding portion is off-centered toward a side of the first cutting edge with respect to a vertical bisecting line of the corner cutting edge in a top view of the cutting insert.

4. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein an inclination angle of the third inclined surface increases as approaching from a region adjacent to the second inclined surface to a region adjacent to the first inclined surface.

5. A cutting tool comprising:

a holder comprising an insert pocket on a tip side thereof; and

the cutting insert according to claim 1 , configured to be mounted to the insert pocket with the cutting edge protruding from a tip of the holder.

6. A method for manufacturing a machined product, the method comprising:

rotating a work material;

bringing the cutting edge of the cutting tool according to claim 5 into contact with the work material that is rotating; and

separating the cutting tool from the work material.

7. A cutting insert comprising:

a top surface having a polygonal shape, and comprising:

a corner portion,

a first side and a second side, each extending from the corner portion;

a bottom surface;

a side surface located between the top surface and the bottom surface; and

a cutting edge located at an intersecting part of the top surface and the side surface;

wherein the cutting edge comprises

a corner cutting edge located at the intersecting part corresponding to the corner portion; and

a first cutting edge located at the intersecting part corresponding to the first side,

wherein the top surface comprises an inclined surface comprising:

a first inclined surface along the first side;

a second inclined surface along the second side; and

a third inclined surface along the corner portion,

wherein the first inclined surface is in contact with the intersecting part and inclined downward going away from the first side,

wherein the second inclined surface is in contact with the intersecting part and inclined downward going away from the second side, and

wherein an inclination angle of the first inclined surface is greater than an inclination angle of the second inclined surface.

8. The cutting insert according to claim 7 , wherein the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are flat.

9. The cutting insert according to claim 8 , wherein a width of the second inclined surface in a direction orthogonal to the second side is greater than a width of the first inclined surface in a direction orthogonal to the first side in a top view of the cutting insert.

10. The cutting insert according to claim 8 ,

wherein the top surface further comprises:

a flat surface located on an inner side of the inclined surface; and

a connecting surface, having a curved surface shape, and located between the inclined surface and the flat surface, and

wherein a width of the connecting surface between the first inclined surface and the flat surface is greater than a width of the connecting surface between the second inclined surface and the flat surface in a top view of the cutting insert.

11. The cutting insert according to claim 10 , wherein

the top surface further comprises a protruding portion:

located on an inner side of the flat surface; and

protruding towards the corner cutting edge, and

the protruding portion is off-centered toward a side of the first cutting edge with respect to a vertical bisecting line of the corner cutting edge in a top view of the cutting insert.

12. The cutting insert according to claim 7 , wherein an inclination angle of the third inclined surface increases as approaching from a region adjacent to the second inclined surface to a region adjacent to the first inclined surface.

13. A cutting tool comprising:

a holder comprising an insert pocket on a tip side thereof; and

the cutting insert according to claim 7 , configured to be mounted to the insert pocket with the cutting edge protruding from a tip of the holder.

14. A method for manufacturing a machined product, the method comprising:

rotating a work material;

bringing the cutting edge of the cutting tool according to claim 13 into contact with the work material that is rotating; and

separating the cutting tool from the work material.
