  • Publication number: 20230398609
    Abstract: A cermet insert includes a first surface, a second surface, a cutting edge, a third surface located opposite to the first surface, and a through hole extending from the first surface to the third surface. An inner wall constituting the through hole has, at least in a center portion, a binder-phase-rich layer having a higher binder phase content than an interior of the base. A thickness T1 of the binder-phase-rich layer at the center portion is larger than a thickness T2 of the binder-phase-rich layer at an end portion. The thickness T1 is 1 ?m or more and 20 ?m or less, the thickness T2 is 0.2 ?m or more and 6 ?m or less. The first surface includes a chip breaker. An arithmetic mean roughness Ra of the chip breaker is 0.05 ?m or less when a cut-off value is 0.08 mm.

  • Patent number: 11794257
    Abstract: A cutting insert may include a base member. The base member may include a first surface, a second surface adjacent to the first surface, and a first cutting edge located in at least a part of a first ridge line which the first surface intersects with the second surface. The base member may include a hard phase containing a titanium carbonitride, and a binding phase containing at least one of cobalt and nickel. The hard phase may include a first hard phase observed on a higher angle side, and a second hard phase observed on a lower angle side in a comparison of (422) plane peak in an X-ray diffraction analysis. A compressive residual stress of the second hard phase in the second surface may be less than a compressive residual stress of the second hard phase in the first surface.

  • Publication number: 20230142263
    Abstract: A cermet, as a base, containing a plurality of hard particles and a bonded phase between the plurality of hard particles. Each of the plurality of hard particles, when viewed in cross section, includes a first region containing Ti, N, and C, and contains a titanium carbonitride phase as a main constituent. Each of the plurality of hard particles, when viewed in cross-section, includes a second region containing one or more metal elements selected from the group consisting of V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Co, and Ni in a larger amount than the first region. The content of the one or more metal elements in the second region is 9.5 mass % or more in a total amount. A cutting tool has a length extending from a first end to a second end, and includes a holder and the insert described above.

  • Publication number: 20220176463
    Abstract: An insert includes a base of a cermet including hard particles and a binder phase. The base includes first and second surfaces, a cutting edge on at least a part of a ridge line of the first and second surfaces, a third surface opposite to the first surface, and a through hole from the first surface to the third surface. An inner wall constituting the through hole includes a binder-phase-riched layer having a higher content of the binder phase than an inside of the base, at least in a center part. A thickness of the binder-phase-ricked layer in the center part is larger than a thickness of the binder-phase-ricked layer in an end part of the inner wall. A cutting tool includes a holder which has a pocket located at an end, the insert located in the pocket, and a clamp inserted in the through hole of the insert.
