  • Patent number: 6528171
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool, especially a cutting insert for cutting metallic materials, which consist of a hard metal, cermet ceramics or steel base, especially of a high speed steel base, and at least one layer deposited thereon. The single layer, or in the case of several layers the outer layer or the layer underneath the outer layer, contains molybdenum sulfide. The aim of the invention is to improve the resistance to wear of the friction-reducing, molybdenum sulfide containing layer even at high pressures. To this end, the molybdenum sulfide containing layer consists of an alternating sequence of two layer that are different from one another. The first layer contains 51 to 100% by weight of metallic molybdenum and the second layer contains 21 to 100% by weight of MoS2 which substantially consists of hexagonal crystals that are at least substantially oriented in a plane parallel to the tool surface.

  • Patent number: 6350510
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a processing insert comprised of a body with a hard metal or ceramic substrate and with a multilayer coating and the manufacture of same. In order to have a highly fracture-tough insert with a relatively thick coating, it is suggested that an external layer (protective layer) be applied according to the CVD process, said layer being either a monophase or multiphase layer of Zr-based or Hf-based carbide nitride or carbonitride, and presenting internal compressive stresses. The layer(s) underlying the external layer, also applied according to the CVD process, also present(s), without any exception, internal compressive stresses, while at least one of them, maybe the only one laying under the protective layer is made of TiN, TiC and/or TiCN. The coating is applied according to a continuous CVD process at temperatures of 900° C. to 1100° C. and involves a specific modification of the gas compounds.
