  • Coated cutting tool with anodized top layer and method of making the same
    Publication number: 20080014421
    Abstract: A coated cutting tool for chipforming machining of materials, as well as a method for making the same, wherein the coated cutting tool includes a substrate. The substrate has a rake surface and a flank surface wherein there is a cutting edge at the intersection of the rake surface and the flank surface. There is a coating scheme on at least a portion of one of the rake surface or the flank surface of the substrate. The coating scheme includes a top oxide interference film that visually appears to be colored when viewed under white lighting formed by full or partial anodization of an anodizable layer.

  • Diamond coated cutting tool and method for making the same
    Patent number: 6890655
    Abstract: A diamond coated cutting tool that has a treated substrate and a diamond coating thereon. In the process of making the substrate, the sintered substrate is re-sintered to form a re-sintered substrate and the re-sintered substrate is chemically treated to remove cobalt on the surface of the re-sintered substrate as to form a treated substrate.

  • Method for making diamond coated cutting tool
    Patent number: 6660329
    Abstract: A process for making a diamond coated cutting tool that comprises the steps of providing a sintered substrate, re-sintering the sintered substrate to form a re-sintered substrate, subjecting the re-sintered substrate to a chemical treatment to remove cobalt on the surface of the re-sintered substrate so as to form a treated substrate, and adherently depositing a diamond coating to the treated substrate.
