  • Coated cutting tool for metal cutting applications generating high temperatures
    Patent number: 8216702
    Abstract: A cutting tool insert includes a body of cemented carbide, cermet, ceramics, high speed steel (HSS), polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN), a hard and wear resistant coating is applied, grown by physical vapour deposition (PVD) such as cathodic are evaporation or magnetron sputtering. The coating includes at least one layer of (ZrxAl1-x)N with 0.05<x<0.30 with a thickness between 0.5 and 10 ?m. The layer has a nanocrystalline columnar microstructure consisting of a single cubic phase or a mixture of hexagonal and cubic phases. The insert is particularly useful in metal cutting applications generating high temperatures with improved edge integrity.
