CUTTING TOOL WITH A TiAlN COATING HAVING RAKE AND RELIEF SURFACES WITH DIFFERENT RESIDUAL STRESSES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051033 titled 'CUTTING TOOL WITH A TiAlN COATING HAVING RAKE AND RELIEF SURFACES WITH DIFFERENT RESIDUAL STRESSES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a metal cutting insert that has a substrate body made of cemented carbide, cermet, or ceramic. It also has at least one cutting edge defined between a rake face and a relief face. The cutting insert is coated with a layer of aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN) using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. The AlTiN layer has a cubic face-centered lattice structure and specific stoichiometry coefficients for aluminum, carbon, and at least one other element. The layer satisfies a specific relationship for residual stress measured on the rake face and the relief face.
