Abstract

An insert includes a first surface having a corner portion, a second surface, a third surface, and a cutting edge. The cutting edge is provided with a first cutting edge located on the corner portion and a second cutting edge adjacent to the first cutting edge, and the third surface is provided with a first portion located along the first cutting edge and a second portion located along the second cutting edge. the second portion includes a first region having a first end portion and a second end portion, and a second region having a third end portion and a fourth end portion. An inclination angle θ 212 at the second end portion is greater than an inclination angle θ 211 at the first end portion, and an inclination angle θ 222 at the fourth end portion is smaller than an inclination angle θ 221 at the third end portion.

Claims (76)

1. A cutting insert comprising:

a first surface comprising a corner portion;

a second surface;

a third surface located between the first surface and the second surface, and intersecting the first surface;

a cutting edge located on at least part of an intersection of the first surface and the third surface; and

a central axis passing through a center of the first surface and a center of the second surface, wherein

the cutting edge comprises:

a first cutting edge located at the corner portion, and

a second cutting edge adjacent to the first cutting edge;

the third surface comprises:

a first portion located along the first cutting edge, and

a second portion located along the second cutting edge,

the second portion comprises a first region that inclines toward the central axis going away from the second cutting edge, and a second region that is located farther away from the first portion than the first region and inclines toward the central axis going away from the second cutting edge,

the first region comprises a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion is located closer to the first portion than the second end portion,

the second region comprises a third end portion and a fourth end portion, the third end portion located closer to the first region than the fourth end portion, and

a second inclination angle at the second end portion is greater than a first inclination angle at the first end portion, and a fourth inclination angle at the fourth end portion is less than a third inclination angle at the third end portion.

2. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein

a fifth inclination angle of the first region increases going away from the first portion, and a sixth inclination angle of the second region decreases going away from the first portion.

3. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein

the second portion further comprises a third region located between the first region and the second region, and

a seventh inclination angle of the third region with respect to the central axis is constant.

4. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein

the cutting edge further comprises a third cutting edge adjacent to the second cutting edge,

the third surface further comprises a third portion located along the third cutting edge, and

an eighth inclination angle of the third portion with respect to the central axis is constant.

5. The cutting insert according to claim 4 , wherein

the eighth inclination angle is zero, and

the third portion is located from the first surface to the second surface.

6. The cutting insert according to claim 4 , wherein

the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge are formed in circular arc shapes and the third cutting edge is formed in a linear shape in a top view, and

a radius of curvature of the second cutting edge is greater than a radius of curvature of the first cutting edge.

7. A cutting tool comprising:

a holder comprising a pocket on a side of front end of the holder; and

the cutting insert according to claim 1 , located in the pocket.

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

rotating a workpiece;

bringing the cutting tool according to claim 7 into contact with the workpiece that is rotating; and

separating the cutting tool from the workpiece.

9. A cutting insert comprising:

a first surface comprising a first corner portion and a second corner portion sequentially following the first corner portion;

a second surface;

a third surface located between the first surface and the second surface, and intersecting the first surface;

a cutting edge located on at least part of an intersection of the first surface and the third surface; and

a central axis passing through a center of the first surface and a center of the second surface, wherein

the cutting edge comprises:

a first cutting edge located at the first corner portion, and

a second cutting edge adjacent to the first cutting edge and between the first corner portion and the second corner portion;

the third surface comprises:

a first portion located along the first cutting edge, and

a second portion located along the second cutting edge,

the second portion comprises a first region that inclines toward the central axis going away from the second cutting edge, and a second region that is located farther away from the first portion than the first region and inclines toward the central axis going away from the second cutting edge,

the first region comprises a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion is located closer to the first portion than the second end portion,

the second region comprises a third end portion and a fourth end portion, the third end portion located closer to the first region than the fourth end portion, and

a second inclination angle at the second end portion is greater than a first inclination angle at the first end portion, and a fourth inclination angle at the fourth end portion is less than a third inclination angle at the third end portion.

10. The cutting insert according to claim 9 , wherein

a fifth inclination angle of the first region increases going away from the first portion, and a sixth inclination angle of the second region decreases going away from the first portion.

11. The cutting insert according to claim 9 , wherein

the second portion further comprises a third region located between the first region and the second region, and

a seventh inclination angle of the third region with respect to the central axis is constant.

12. The cutting insert according to claim 9 , wherein

the cutting edge further comprises a third cutting edge adjacent to the second cutting edge,

the third surface further comprises a third portion located along the third cutting edge, and

an eighth inclination angle of the third portion with respect to the central axis is constant.

13. The cutting insert according to claim 12 , wherein

the eighth inclination angle is zero, and

the third portion is located from the first surface to the second surface.

14. The cutting insert according to claim 12 , wherein

the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge are formed in circular arc shapes and the third cutting edge is formed in a linear shape in a top view, and

a radius of curvature of the second cutting edge is greater than a radius of curvature of the first cutting edge.

15. A cutting tool comprising:

a holder comprising a pocket on a side of front end of the holder; and

the cutting insert according to claim 9 , located in the pocket.
