Abstract

A surface-coated cutting tool includes a base material and a coating covering the base material. The base material includes a rake face and a flank face. The coating includes a TiCN layer. The TiCN layer has a (422) orientation in a region d 1 in the rake face. The TiCN layer has a (311) orientation in a region d 2 in the flank face.

Claims (96)

1. A surface-coated cutting tool comprising:

a base material; and

a coating covering the base material, wherein

the base material includes a rake face and a flank face,

the coating includes a TiCN layer,

the TiCN layer has a (422) orientation in a region d 1 in the rake face,

the TiCN layer has a (311) orientation in a region d 2 in the flank face,

when the rake face and the flank face are continuous with each other with a cutting edge face therebetween,

the region d 1 is a region sandwiched between an imaginary line D 1 and a boundary between the rake face and the cutting edge face, the imaginary line D 1 being 500 μm apart from an imaginary ridge line on the rake face, the imaginary ridge line being an intersection between a surface obtained by extending the rake face and a surface obtained by extending the flank face, and

the region d 2 is a region sandwiched between an imaginary line D 2 and a boundary between the flank face and the cutting edge face, the imaginary line D 2 being 500 μm apart from the imaginary ridge line on the flank face, and

when the rake face and the flank face are continuous with each other with a ridge line therebetween,

the region d 1 is a region sandwiched between the ridge line and an imaginary line D 1 which is 500 μm apart from the ridge line on the rake face, and

the region d 2 is a region sandwiched between the ridge line and an imaginary line D 2 which is 500 μm apart from the ridge line on the flank face.

2. The surface-coated cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein

the TiCN layer having the (311) orientation means that, among texture coefficients TC (hkl) defined by equation (1) below, a texture coefficient TC (311) of a (311) plane in the TiCN layer is greater than a texture coefficient of any other crystal orientation plane, and

the TiCN layer having the (422) orientation means that, among the texture coefficients TC (hkl) defined by equation (1) below, a texture coefficient TC (422) of a (422) plane in the TiCN layer is greater than a texture coefficient of any other crystal orientation plane,
