Definitions

  • This invention relates to the cutting of workpieces.
  • cutting is used herein in a broad sense, and operations embraced by that term include: sawing, drilling, milling, planing, thread-cutting, reaming and turning.
  • Workpieces which may be "cut” in any of those senses include articles made (or being made) from metals, including alloys, reinforced composite materials, glass, ceramics, plastics, wood and wood products.
  • the invention has particular reference to lubricated cutting, especially the cutting of metals, and it will hereinafter be described with particular reference to that.
  • lubricated cutting especially the cutting of metals
  • metals are subjected to various machining operations including turning, cutting, drilling and milling.
  • oil lubrication typically the oil may be simply oil of one grade or another, or it may be in an emulsion with water.
  • These lubricants are usually expensive, they can cause health hazards to the machine operator, and there are environmental problems associated with their disposal.
  • a further problem associated with the use of conventional liquid lubricants is that there is a tendency to use increasingly high speeds during machining in order to improve productivity. It is doubtful that the liquid lubricants currently used are effective because they will not be able to penetrate to the actual cutting zone at such high speeds. This leads to unlubricated cutting, an increase in the cutting forces, and consequently results in the generation of significant quantities of heat. Overheating of the cutting tool promotes wear.
  • the lubricant can be introduced in small quantities for example by spraying. While this reduces the amount of lubricant used and accordingly reduces the environmental problems associated with the disposal of waste lubricant, it will have a reduced cooling effect and it will not solve the problems presented by high machining speeds.
  • Hard and heat resistant coatings such as titanium aluminium nitride coatings have been used successfully. It will be appreciated, however, that the use of such coatings mitigates the disadvantages referred to above rather than solving the problem. Such coatings are not lubricants and they accordingly do not reduce the cutting forces involved.
  • a method of cutting a workpiece in which the workpiece is cut with a cutting surface of a cutting tool coated with a carbon based solid lubricant coating and wherein during cutting, the cutting tool is lubricated and/or cooled with an aqueous coolant.
  • the invention extends to a cutting tool having a cutting surface which is coated with a carbon based coating.
  • Carbon based coatings can have excellent dry lubrication properties and can be used in the same way as molybdenum disulphide based coatings for dry machining.
  • the performance of molybdenum disulphide can sometimes be very poor under water.
  • the performance of carbon based coatings can be considerably enhanced by the presence of water.
  • the coefficient of friction of the coating can be reduced to about one half of its dry value, and the wear can be reduced by a factor of at least ten.
  • the coolant is preferably oil free and it may be water.
  • a method according to the invention presents particular advantages when the cutting operation is a machining operation, and when it is applied to the cutting of a metal workpiece or a reinforced composite workpiece.
  • the carbon based coating may be a hydrogenated Me:C coating or a diamond-like coating. These coatings provide good lubrication properties under water. It is preferred however, that carbon-carbon bonding within the coating is mostly of the graphitic sp2 form. Such a graphitic coating can have a low coefficient of friction, a lower wear rate and a higher load bearing capacity than either a diamond-like carbon coating or a hydrogenated Me:C coating.
  • the cutting tool has a composite coating which comprises a first hard layer of a nitride, carbide, carbo-nitride or boride followed by a said carbon-based coating layer.
  • the cutting tool is coated with a plurality of coating layers of which an uppermost is a carbon-based coating.
  • the cutting tool may be formed from a steel or a tungsten carbide based material. Other materials may also be used and in some preferred embodiments of the invention the cutting tool is constructed from a ceramic material.
  • the cutting tool may be constructed from a combination of steel, tungsten carbide based material and ceramic.
  • the aqueous coolant may be supplied to the cutting zone by any appropriate method for example as a flood lubricant or a spray lubricant or through holes or apertures within the cutting tool.
  • the carbon based coating is a coating formed in accordance with International Patent Application No: WO99/27893, and the full contents of that specification are incorporated herein by this reference.
  • a carbon-based coating which is graphitic in structure can in fact have tribological properties, such as greater hardness and wear-resistance, which are much improved over the properties of a carbon-containing coating which is of diamond-like structure.
  • Such a graphitic coating is preferably formed by sputtering, suitably by a method which comprises using a sputter ion plating system with at least one carbon target in which an ion current density of above 0.5mA/cm is applied at the cutting tool to be coated in order to deposit a carbon coating layer.
  • This method provides a coating of much improved quality, in particular as regards its tribological properties.
  • the coating layer contains sufficient carbon for there to be carbon-carbon (as opposed to carbide) bonds within it. When deposited in this way, it will be found that those carbon-carbon bonds are predominantly of the sp2 or graphitic type.
  • the carbon-based coating comprises a succession of carbon and metal-containing layers and in which carbon-carbon bonding within the or each carbon layer is mostly of the graphitic sp2 form
  • the invention includes a method of applying a carbon coating to a cutting tool comprising by sputter ion plating with at least one carbon target and at least one metal target in order to deposit a carbon coating layer and a metal-containing coating layer.
  • such a metal-containing layer is an underlayer deposited directly onto the cutting tool to be overcoated with carbon. Such a metal-containing underlayer is very effective in promoting adhesion between a carbon layer and a cutting tool.
  • a method according to the invention preferably comprises using a metal target to form a metal-containing underlayer directly onto the cutting tool which is over-coated with the or a said carbon coating layer.
  • Such a metal-containing underlayer is preferably deposited to a thickness of between 50 and 200 nm.
  • the underlayer can comprise an initial stratum of metal followed by a second stratum consisting of the metal and carbon produced by co- deposition from metal and carbon targets.
  • This stratum may be harder than the metal stratum and can improve the tribological behaviour of the subsequent carbon coating.
  • a one or more metal- containing layers each of which is an intermediate layer located between successive carbon layers. This promotes cohesiveness of the coating as a whole.
  • a uniform (graphitic) carbon coating is deposited on a cutting tool, once a certain thickness threshold is exceeded, the coating may have a tendency to spall and that this tendency increases with increasing thickness.
  • this tendency is alleviated or even eliminated if thin carbon layers are interleaved with metal-containing layers.
  • a said carbon-containing layer is preferably formed to a thickness of up to I ⁇ m.
  • the coating is built up from a succession of alternating metal- containing and carbon coating layers respectively formed predominantly (that is, more than 50 atoms %) from metal and from carbon.
  • the coating as a whole may be built up to any desired thickness, for example up to 10 ⁇ m, preferably in the range 1 to 5 ⁇ m, and without risk of spalling of the carbon, provided that the carbon layers have thicknesses below l ⁇ m.
  • transition metal that is a metal in one of Groups 3 to 10 (new IUPAC notation) of the Periodic Table as shown on page 1-15 of Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 77th Edition 1996-1997 (CRC Press) , preferably chromium or titanium, is found particularly effective.
  • a said coating is suitably formed by magnetron sputter ion plating, and most preferably by a technique known as closed field unbalanced magnetron sputter ion plating (CFUBMSIP).
  • CFUBMSIP closed field unbalanced magnetron sputter ion plating
  • Such a CFUBMSIP method of deposition is the preferred method of deposition although other methods giving high ion current density can also be used.
  • the cutting tool being coated is preferably held at a bias voltage of from floating voltage to 250V negative.
  • the bias voltage applied may be DC, pulsed DC or RF.
  • Preferably such bias is between 50V and 150V negative, and the best results have been attained when such bias is between 70 and 100 volts negative.
  • a very simple and preferred way of forming a said coating is to rotate the cutting tool while it is being coated. This assists in achieving an even coating on the cutting tool, and also has advantages in the deposition of a plural layer coating.
  • a particularly convenient way of achieving the optimum proportions of carbon and metal in a multi-layer coating is to use three carbon-donating targets and one metal-donating target for forming the coating.
  • the cutting tools may be rotated in a working space between such targets and this is a highly advantageous way of building up a coating from a succession of alternating metal-containing and carbon strata.
  • the rotational speed of the cutting tool and the rates of deposition of the carbon and metal are suitably so controlled as to yield a period of at least 3 nm in the coating strata. If the period is too small, there is a risk that the carbon and metal will react and combine to form a metal carbide. While metal carbide may be tolerated in any said metal-containing layer, the replacement of carbon-carbon bonds by metal carbide bonds in a said carbon layer would detract from the quite remarkable properties afforded by this invention.
  • the carbon layers having graphitic carbon-carbon bonds which provide these tribological properties; while such carbon layers may contain small proportions of metal (and indeed this may be difficult to avoid when using some deposition techniques) the presence of such metal is purely incidental, and the excellent wear-resistance and low friction properties do not depend on the carbon layers containing any metal.
  • the metal-containing layers have a strengthening or adhesion promoting or anti-spalling effect, and they thus allow the coating to be built up to a greater thickness if this is desired.
  • the incorporation of metal layers can also enable the coating to withstand higher loads.
  • said coating is deposited under an atmosphere containing a noble gas.
  • a noble gas avoids contamination of the deposited coating by compounds of a chemically active gas. It is generally found most convenient to use argon.
  • the argon gas pressure in the sputter system is not critical and can be between about 7xl0 "2 Pa (5xl0 4 torr) and about 1 Pa (1x10 " torr).
  • said coating is deposited under an argon-containing atmosphere at a pressure of from 0.07 Pa to 0.6 Pa.
  • the invention does not exclude the possibility of deliberately modifying the coating composition by introducing such a gas into the atmosphere in the sputtering chamber.
  • the coatings which are formed can be modified by the inclusion of a hydro-carbon gas in the sputtering atmosphere during deposition as is provided in some embodiments of this invention.
  • a feature of such a method may be that a mixture of carbon and metal is sputtered to deposit as a metal-containing layer on the cutting tool (the article being coated) which layer also contains additional carbon produced by breakdown of any hydrocarbon gas present in the working atmosphere and which deposits directly on the electrically biased cutting tool.
  • Deposition of a said carbon layer may be by a combination of sputtering from the carbon target and breakdown of the hydrocarbon gas in the plasma.
  • the coatings as described above can be modified by the addition of nitrogen to the working atmosphere during deposition. This can result in coatings modified by reaction of the nitrogen with the metal to form metal nitrides or with the carbon to from carbon-nitrogen compounds.
  • Such magnetron sputter ion plating apparatus preferably comprises at least two magnetrons adapted to generate a magnetic field between them with field lines extending from one said magnetron to the or an other said magnetron, whereby said magnetrons, and field lines extending directly from one said magnetron to the or an other, form a barrier which tends to prevent the escape of electrons from within a plasma-containing working space within which a cutting tool may be coated.
  • the arrangement is such as to permit the achievement of an ion current density of at least 0.5m A/cm .
  • the invention extends to: a tool bearing a carbon-containing coating, wherein said coating has a specific wear rate under wet conditions of less than 10 "16 m 3 /Nm, and preferably less than 10 " m /Nm; a tool bearing a carbon-containing coating, wherein said coating has an adhesion critical load of at least 70N; a tool bearing a carbon-containing coating, wherein said coating has a hardness of at least 1000 VHN; a tool bearing a carbon-containing coating, wherein said coating has a coefficient of friction (dry) of not more than 0.1 ;
  • a said carbon-containing layer should most preferably have a structure with one or more of the following properties: an absence of crystallinity detectable by X-ray diffraction or by selected area diffraction in a transmission electron microscope; a predominant carbon-carbon bonding within the layer of the sp2 form indicated by Raman spectroscopy; predominantly graphitic (sp2) bonding with very small grain size;
  • the very high hardness which may be exhibited by the coatings indicates that there must be some cross bonding.
  • the coating structure may contain some C60, and some sp3 bonding may be present.
  • a test coating is formed under the same conditions as the given coating but on a substrate which consists of a flat high-speed steel disc.
  • the wear resistance of the test coating is measured in the following way.
  • a tungsten carbide pin having a hemispherical head which is uncoated and has a radius of 2.5 mm is rubbed against the test coating on the flat high speed steel disc.
  • the specific loading on the pin is between 20 and 100 N, and the disc is rotated to give a rubbing speed of 180 mm per minute. (We have found that provided the loading on the pin is between 20 and 100 N, the specific wear rate afforded by this test is substantially independent of the actual loading.)
  • wet conditions are specified, the rubbing is performed under water unless another liquid is specified.
  • a taper section (angle less than 5°) through the rubbed surface is examined using an optical microscope at a magnification of 500 x to measure of the wear of the coating. This method easily enables the measurement of specific wear rates as low as 10 " m /Nm.
  • a coating formed in accordance with this invention is useful in providing a hard, low friction, wear resistant surface for use in conditions where components are highly loaded, whether unlubricated or lubricated by oil or an aqueous medium.
  • components which could usefully be provided with a coating in accordance with this invention abound in the metal- working industries. Drill bits, saw blades, thread-cutting taps and dies, milling cutters, and lathe tools may be mentioned.

  • the magnetrons are arranged around a carrier 7 for cutting tools which are to be coated.
  • the cutting tool carrier 7 is arranged to rotate as indicated by arrow 8 about an axis. It is usually most convenient to arrange for the cutting tool carrier 7 to rotate about a substantially vertical axis.

  • the magnetic field lines B of magnetrons 1 , 2, 3, and 4 form a continuous barrier, trapping electrons which diffuse from the magnetron plasmas, and they at least in part define a working space 10 within which the cutting tool carrier 7 rotates during the coating process. That barrier may extend over the axial ends of the working space 10 (usually its top and bottom) or not, as desired.

  • the magnetic field lines B surround the cutting tool carrier 7 and serve to form a tubular working space 10 within which electrons are trapped. Since the electrons cannot escape the system, except perhaps at its axial ends, they are available to enhance the ionisation associated with the cutting tool, creating a high ion density.
  • an inert gas such as argon is provided in the chamber of the system and electrons are accelerated in the chamber by a potential difference applied to the magnetron targets 11 , 12, 13, 14 to ionize the gas, producing more electrons and argon ions.
  • the argon ions present in the chamber bombard the targets of source material and produce a coating flux of source material. It is suitable for three of the targets to be of carbon while one is of a transition metal such as chromium or titanium. The argon ions also bombard the cutting tool.
  • the magnetic field lines B serve to form a continuous barrier to the electrons diffusing from the magnetron discharges and ensure that these electrons are not lost to the system through its sides without performing their useful function of enhancing the glow discharge associated with the negatively electrically biased cutting tools, increasing the ion current to the cutting tool.
  • the magnetrons 1, 2, 3, 4 are provided approximately equi-angularly spaced in a ring with the cutting tool carrier 7 at its centre. They are carried within a coating chamber (not shown) which may be of cylindrical shape having axial bearings for supporting the cutting tool carrier 7 at its top and base. A pumping port (not shown) is provided out of line with the four magnetrons, for example in its base.
  • the magnetic field B forms a continuous ring surrounding the cutting tool and traps electrons in the ring. Since an even number of magnetron pole assemblies is provided the flux ring can be complete. There is an advantage in providing an even number of magnetrons. Six or eight magnetron pole assemblies are also considered good configurations, but clearly more could be provided if desired, and a system with but two magnetrons could also be used. Adjacent magnetrons would have outer magnet assemblies of opposite polarity, as illustrated.
  • the plating system is arranged with three carbon-donating targets and one chromium-donating target, and the cutting tools to be coated are held on a rotating carrier 7 mounted between the targets to promote uniformity of coating and so that a multi- layer coating results.
  • the sputtering chamber contains an argon atmosphere at a pressure of about 0.3 Pa (2x10 " torr).
  • Use of the four-target closed field unbalanced magnetron sputter ion plating system ensures an ion current density at the cutting tool which is in excess of 0.5mA/cm .
  • the coating has been found to have inferior tribological properties.
  • the power applied to the carbon target of the magnetron source is not critical and is limited only in the fact that high powers cause cracking of the target.
