  • Patent number: 10844469
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a member according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is a method for manufacturing a member having a substrate and a sprayed coating formed on a surface of the substrate. The method includes: supplying an oil into a recessed portion of the sprayed coating, a kinematic viscosity of the oil at 40° C. being more than or equal to 3 mm2/s and less than or equal to 43 mm2/s; and dry-cutting, using a cutting tool, a surface of the sprayed coating with the recessed portion supplied with the oil. A supplied amount of the oil is more than or equal to 0.1 weight % and less than or equal to 2.7 weight % with respect to an apparent weight of the sprayed coating.

  • Patent number: 10676398
    Abstract: A sintered material includes cubic boron nitride grains and a binder, a grain size D50 of the cubic boron nitride grains when a cumulative value of the cubic boron nitride grains is 50% in an area-based grain size distribution being more than 0.5 ?m and less than or equal to 5 ?m, more than or equal to 70 volume % and less than or equal to 98 volume % of the cubic boron nitride grains being included in the sintered material, the binder being composed of A1-xCrxN, where 0?x?1, and a remainder, the remainder being composed of at least one of a first element and a compound including the first element and a second element, the first element being one or more elements selected from a group consisting of W, Co, Ni, Mo, Al, and Cr, the second element being one or more elements selected from a group consisting of nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, and boron.

  • Publication number: 20180117678
    Abstract: The surface-coated cBN sintered material includes a cBN sintered material containing cBN particles and a binder, and a coating. A proportion of the cBN particles in the cBN sintered material is 80 to 98% by volume, the binder contains a first compound including at least one element of Al and Cr and at least one element of N, B and O. The coating contains a layer A in contact with the cBN sintered material. The layer A is constituted of Alx1Cry1Mz1Ca1Nbb1Oc1 (provided that M is at least one element of Ti, V, Nb and Si, and 0.25?x1?0.75, 0.25?y1?0.75, 0?z1?0.5, x1+y1+z1=1, 0?a1?0.5, 0.5?b1?1, 0?c1?0.1, and a1+b1+c1=1 are satisfied).
