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.

  • The metal cutting insert has a substrate body made of cemented carbide, cermet, or ceramic.
  • It 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.
  • The stoichiometry coefficients for aluminum, carbon, and at least one other element have specific ranges.
  • The layer satisfies a specific relationship for residual stress measured on the rake face and the relief face.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Metal cutting inserts can be used in various machining operations, such as turning, milling, and drilling.
  • The improved coating with AlTiN layer can enhance the performance and durability of the cutting insert.
  • It can be used in industries that require high precision and efficiency in metal cutting processes, such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The coating with AlTiN layer provides better wear resistance, reducing the need for frequent tool changes.
  • It improves the cutting performance by reducing friction and heat generation.
  • The specific stoichiometry coefficients and residual stress relationship ensure consistent and reliable performance of the cutting insert.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Longer tool life and reduced downtime due to improved wear resistance.
  • Higher cutting speeds and improved productivity.
  • Enhanced surface finish and dimensional accuracy of machined parts.
  • Cost savings through reduced tooling costs and increased machining efficiency.
