    TECHNICAL FIELD
    [001] The present invention relates to a coated cutting tool for chipping metals comprising a substrate having a surface coated with a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) coating. The coated cutting tool in accordance with the present invention is particularly useful for transforming (turning) steels, such as low alloy steels, carbon steels and tough hardened steels. OVERVIEW OF THE STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
    [002] Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) of wear-resistant coatings on carbide cutting tools has been an industrial practice for more than 30 years. Coated insert properties have been constantly improved over the years; service life and reliability in terms of edge fracture strength have been enhanced considerably. A notable improvement in the performance of CVD-coated tool inserts appeared when Ti(C,N) produced by the MTCVD [Moderate Temperature CVD (Moderate Temperature Chemical Vapor Deposition)] technique began to enter the tooling industry at about 10 years - 15 years ago. An improvement in the hardness properties (strength, toughness) of the cutting tool insert was then achieved. Currently, most toolmakers use this technique. Modern tool coatings today also include at least one layer of Al2o3 to achieve high wear resistance and to protect the carbide (carbide) substrate from excessive heat during cut.
    [003] European patent application number EP 1,953,258 A1 discloses that a cutting tool provided as an α-alumina layer with a texture of (001), as measured by a strong diffraction peak of (006), results in improved hardness and improved wear resistance of the cutting tool. The tendency for plastic deformation of the cutting edge was reduced.
    [004] European patent application number WO 2013/037997 discloses a cutting insert for transformation into steel, comprising a layer of α-Al2O3 with a texture of (001) as measured by a strong diffraction peak of (0 0 12 ). The insert is subjected to a surface blast treatment to provide a specific stress state on the cutting insert. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    [005] It is an object of the present invention to provide an alumina coated cutting tool insert with improved performance in cutting operations. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a coated cutting tool with improved wear resistance, for example, a higher resistance to crater wear and an enhanced resistance to plastic deformation of the cutting edge. Another objective of the present invention is to provide a cutting tool with high performance in steel transformation, such as low alloy steels, carbon steels and tough hardened steels.
    [006] These objects of the present invention are achieved by a cutting tool in accordance with the independent claim. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are set out in the dependent claims.
    [007] The cutting tool in accordance with the present invention comprises a coated cutting tool comprising a substrate and a coating, wherein the coating comprises a layer of MTCVD TiCN, and a layer of α-Al2O3, wherein the layer of α-Al2O3 exhibits an X-ray diffraction pattern, as measured using CuKα and θ - 2θ scan radiation, where the texture coefficient TC(hkl) is defined, in accordance with Harris' formula:

    [008] Where:- I(hkl) = measured intensity (integrated area) of the reflection (hkl);- I0(hkl) = standard intensity in accordance with ICDD card PDF No. 00-010-0173;- n = number of reflections used in the calculation;- reflections (hkl) used are (012), (104), (110),(113), (116), (300), (214) and (0 0 12), and wherein TCde (0 0 12) is higher than 5, and preferably higher than 6, and most preferably higher than 7.
    [009] An α-Al2O3 layer with a high TC of (0 0 12) has been shown to be advantageous as a layer over a cutting tool due to its high resistance to crater wear and also its ability to reduce tendency to plastic deformation of the cutting tool edge.
    [010] One way to study the texture of a coating is to use a so-called waveform measurement, also called an a scan. The principle for the measurements is that of a fixed angle 2θ, corresponding to the value d of a specific plane, and detection of the diffracted intensity when the sample is tilted (or “oscillated”), that is, the angle of incidence a is scanned. . If the planes are perfectly aligned parallel to the surface (e.g. in a single crystal) the Bragg condition will be fulfilled when angle a is half of angle 2θ and therefore a peak will appear at a value corresponding to half of the value 2θ. For a perfect single crystal, the peak magnification (broadening) will be equal to the divergence of the incident X-ray beam. Further peak magnification indicates that the layer comprises non-aligned textured grains perfectly aligned relative to the substrate surface.
    [011] In the present invention, α-Al2O3 shows a high TC of (0 0 12), i.e., a strong texture of (0 0 1), and the degree of texture perfection through the α-layer integrity. Al2O3 was studied by analyzing the plane oscillation curve of (0 0 12).
    [012] One way to express the sharpness of the wobble curve is to calculate a half-full-width maximum (FWHM) value of a peak. A lower FWHM value corresponds to a better textured coating through the α-Al2O3 layer integrity.
    [013] Insofar as a high texture of (0 0 1) has been shown to be advantageous in increased resistance to crater wear and resistance to plastic deformation, a high texture of (0 0 1) through the entire integrity, or at least the entirety of the most of the coating thickness is considered advantageous. This has been shown to be advantageous also in increased resistance to flank wear of the cutting edge.
    [014] The coating in accordance with the present invention comprises a layer of α-Al2O3 with a half full width maximum (FWHM) of a peak (0 0 12) plane oscillation curve of α-Al2O3 using ray diffraction. X as measured over the clearance face of the cutting tool is FWHM less than 300, and preferably less than 260, and more preferably less than 220.
    [015] The cutting tool in accordance with the present invention is for chip forming machining of metals and is preferably a transforming (turning) insert. The substrate is the body that is coated by the surface coating. The body (ie the substrate) can be made of a cermet (cermet) or a carbide (cemented carbide). The body is, in one embodiment of the present invention, made of carbide, wherein the carbide comprises 4% by weight - 15% by weight Co, and preferably 6% by weight - 8% by weight Co, and more preferably 10% by volume - 14% by volume of cubic carbides of metals from groups IV, V and VI of the periodic table, preferably Ti, Nb and Ta.
    [016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the carbide substrate comprises a cobalt-enriched surface zone from the interface between the body and the coating to a depth of 15 μm - 25 μm to the body being essentially free from of cubic carbides, giving the cutting insert an excellent hardness with preserved resistance to plastic deformation.
    [017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the α-Al2O3 layer is 2 μm - 15 μm, and preferably 3 μm - 7 μm, and most preferably 4 μm - 6 μm.
    [018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the TiCN layer is 2 μm - 15 μm, and preferably 5 μm - 12 μm, and most preferably 7 μm - 11 μm.
    [019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cutting tool was subjected to a sandblasting treatment to increase the hardness properties of the coating. The blast treatment affects the stress condition of the coating. Excessively hard blasting will lead to cracking and chipping of the coating. The blasting impact force can be controlled, for example, by the blasting slurry pressure, by the design of the blast nozzle, by the distance between the blast nozzle and the coating surface, by the type of blasting medium, by the grain size of the blasting medium, by the concentration of the blasting medium in blasting fluid and by the angle of impact of the blast jet.
    [020] One way of measuring the stress state in the coating is to study the magnification (broadening) of a specific peak in a θ - 2θ X-ray scan. The peak is typically wider for a coating with a gradient of stress than for a coating without a stress gradient. The measured peak width achieved after blasting the coating will determine an indirect measurement of the stress gradient in the coating if the peak width is compared to the peak width of the same peak measured from a coating as deposited.
    [021] The intuitive crystal plane to use for an analysis is the plane parallel to the surface of the textured coating plane which is parallel to the substrate surface and preferably peaks at a high value of 2θ. In this case, the peak of (0 0 12) is selected. The peak of (0 0 12) is advantageous in that it has a position at an especially high angle and, consequently, a small change in cell parameter determines a relatively large change. in peak width.
    [022] The diffraction peak width of a sandblasted coating can be compared with the diffraction peak width of a non-blasted coating, or, of the same coating after stress relaxation by heat treatment as presented later. This difference is here defined as difference Δ, where the difference Δ = FWHM (stressed) - FWHM (unstressed), that is, the difference between the half maximum full width (FWHM) of the diffraction peak as subjected to blasting, and the half maximum full width (FWHM) of the diffraction peak in a state as previously for blasting. For example, on a cutting tool comprising a gap face and a lead face, and where only the lead face has been blasted, the diffraction peak of the gap face can be compared with the corresponding diffraction peak of the gap face. attack.
    [023] In one embodiment of the present invention, a stress state in the α-Al2O3 layer is changed from its stress state as deposited, and through that to the diffraction peak configuration of 2θ (0 0 12) has been changed in such a way that the difference Δ becomes Δ > 0.2; and preferably Δ > 0.3; and most preferably Δ > 0.4, or Δ > 0.5, or Δ > 0.6 or Δ > 0.7. A blast is preferably performed, preferably with Al2O3 grains. The angle between the blast slurry beam from the blast gun to the cutting tool surface during blasting, and the cutting tool surface may, for example, be 700 - 1100, preferably about 900.
    [024] In one embodiment of the present invention, a difference Δ between the FWHM of the diffraction peak of (0 0 12) in an X-ray diffraction of α-Al2O3 on the leading face of the cutting tool and the FWHM of the diffraction peak of (0 0 12) in an X-ray diffraction of α-Al2O3 over the clearance face of the cutting tool is Δ > 0.2, and preferably Δ > 0.3, and most preferably Δ > 0.4 , or Δ > 0.5, or Δ > 0.6 or Δ > 0.7. This way of measuring the difference Δ is suitable if the insert is, for example, blasted on its leading face.
    [025] In one embodiment of the present invention, the difference Δ between the (0 0 12) diffraction peak FWHM in an α-Al2O3 X-ray diffraction and the (0 0 12) diffraction peak FWHM in an X-ray diffraction of a cutting tool after heat treatment at 1030 °C in N2 for 3 hours is Δ > 0.2, and preferably Δ > 0.3, and most preferably Δ > 0.4, or Δ > 0.5, or Δ > 0.6, or Δ > 0.7. This way of measuring the difference Δ is useful if the insert, for example, has been blasted over all its external surfaces.
    [026] If an unblasted surface is not available as a reference surface, a sandblasted wafer can be heat treated at 1030°C in an atmosphere of N2 for 3 hours in order to bring it back to its original stress state, i.e. , become comparable with the unsandblasted state. This is demonstrated in Example 7.
    [027] It is to be noted that the stress state of the coating after a CVD process, i.e. as coated or as deposited, is not free from residual stresses. Usually, a CVD coating on a carbide substrate is subjected to residual stresses, causing cracks in the CVD coating. The heat treatment as presented earlier is to re-transform the CVD coating to a stress state corresponding to that one as previously for blasting.
    [028] In one embodiment of the present invention, the TiCN layer exhibits an X-ray diffraction pattern, as measured using CuKα radiation, in which relationship between the integrated area intensity of peak 220 (I220) and the area intensity integrated of peak 311 (I311), I220/I311, is less than 3, and preferably less than 2, and most preferably less than 1.5; or less than 1, or less than 0.5 or less than 0.3. This has been shown to be preferred to obtain a strong texture of (0 0 1) through the entire integrity of the α-Al2O3 layer. To obtain such MTCVD TiCN layers it is beneficial to use TiCl4/CH3CN volume ratios higher than 2 in the MTCVD process.
    [029] In one embodiment of the present invention, the TiCN layer exhibits an X-ray diffraction pattern, as measured using CuKα radiation, where the relationship between the integrated area intensity of peak 220 (I220) and the area intensity integrated of peak 422 (I422), I220/I422, is less than 3, and preferably less than 2, and most preferably less than 1.5; or less than 1, or less than 0.5 or less than 0.3.
    [030] Other objects, advantages and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the present invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and claims. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
    [031] Examples of embodiments of the present invention will be presented in greater detail. Example 1 - Coating DepositionSample A (Present Invention)
    [032] Coated cutting tools (inserts) in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention have been manufactured. Carbide substrates of ISO type CNMG120408 for transformation (turning) were manufactured from 7.2 wt% Co, 2.7 wt% Ta, 1.8 wt% Ti, 0.4 wt% Nb, 0.1 wt% N and the sludge being WC, comprising a Co-enriched surface zone of about 25 µm from the substrate surface and to a depth to the body being essentially free from cubic carbides.
    [033] The substrates were subjected to a CVD coating process on a size 530 radial ion bonding type CVD equipment that has a housing capacity of 10,000 half-inch size cutting inserts.
    [034] The pellets were first coated with a thin layer of TiN of approximately 0.4 μm and then with a layer of TiCN of 9 μm by employing the well-known MTCVD technique using TiCl4, CH3CN, N2, HCl and H2 at 8850C . The volume ratio of TiCl4/CH3CN during the deposition of MTCVD from the TiCN layer was 2.2.
    [035] On top of the MTCVD TiCN layer an agglutition layer of thickness 1 μm - 2 μm was deposited at 1,000 0C by a process consisting of three separate reaction steps. First a TiCN step using TiCl4, CH4, N2, HCl and H2 at 400 mbar, then a second step using TiCl4, CH3CN, CO, N2, HCl and H2 at 70 mbar and finally a third step using TiCl4, CH3CN, AlCl3, CO, N2 and H2 at 70 mbar.
    [036] Before the start of Al2O3 nucleation, the agglutination layer was oxidized for 4 minutes in a mixture of CO2, CO, N2 and H2.
    [037] The Al2O3 layer was deposited at 1,000 °C and 55 mbar in two steps. The first step using 1.2% by volume of AlCl3, 4.7% by volume of CO2, 1.8% by volume of HCl and the balance being H2 determining about 0.1 μm of Al2O3 and the second step using 1.2 % by volume of AlCl3, 4.7% by volume of CO2, 2.9% by volume of HCl, 0.6% by volume of H2S and the balance being H2 determining a total layer thickness of Al2O3 of about 5 μm .
    [038] An outermost colored layer comprising TiN was applied with a thickness of about 1 μm. Sample B (Reference)
    [039] Coated inserts were manufactured in a process corresponding to the one for Sample A, except that a different CVD coating deposition process was used as shown later.
    [040] The wafers were first coated with a thin layer of TiN of approximately 0.4 μm and then with a layer of TiCN of 9 μm by employing the well-known MTCVD technique using TiCl4, CH3CN, N2, H2 and optionally with some addition of HCl at 885°C. The volume ratio of TiCl4/CH3CN was kept higher than 2 during the TiCN layer deposition.
    [041] On top of the MTCVD TiCN layer was a 1 μm - 2 μm thick binder layer deposited at 1000°C using two separate reaction steps. First a TiCN step using TiCl4, CH4, N2 and H2 at 55 mbar , and then a second step using TiCl4, COe H2 at 55 mbar pressure.
    [042] Before the start of Al2O3 nucleation, the agglutiation layer was oxidized by a mixture of CO2, HCl and H2 for a short period of time, about 2 minutes.
    [043] The Al2O3 layer was deposited at 1,000 °C and 55mbar in two steps. During the first stage, the following gases were used: 1.2% by volume of AlCl3, 4.7% by volume of CO2, 1.8% by volume of HCl and the balance being H2, determining about 0.1 μm of Al2O3. The second step was to use 1.2% by volume of AlCl3, 4.7% by volume of CO2, 2.9% by volume of HCl, 0.35% by volume of H2S and the balance being H2, determining a thickness of total Al2O3 layer of about 5 μm.
    [044] An outermost colored layer comprising TiN was applied with a thickness of about 1 μm. Example 2 (Sandblasting)
    [045] Sandblasting was performed on the leading faces of cutting tools. The blast slurry consisted of 20 wt% alumina in water and a 900 angle between the rake face of the cutting insert and the direction of the blast slurry. The distance between the gun nozzle and the insert surface was about 145 mm. The mud pressure to the gun was 1.8 bar for all samples, while the air pressure to the gun was 2.1 bar (blast treatment 1), 2.2 bar (blast treatment 2) or 2, 5 bar (blast treatment 3). The alumina cuttings (grains) were F220 mesh (FEPA 42 - 1: 2006). The average blasting time per unit area was 4.4 seconds. Three different blast treatments were evaluated for Sample A. Sample A treated with blast treatment 1 is hereafter called Sample A1, and if treated with blast treatment 2 called Sample A2, and if treated with blast treatment blasting process 3 called Sample A3. Sample B was blasted with blast treatment 2 (Sample B2). Example 3 - CT measurements (0 0 12) of a dea-Al2θ3 layer
    [046] Cu-Kα X-rays were used for measurements. Mirrors attached to the microfocus X-ray source focus the beam to about 0.8mm x 0.8mm without pinhole (hole) collimator. Measurements were made with a voltage of 50 kV and a current of 1 mA, resulting in a maximum power of 50 W. A 0.5 mm pinhole hill was used in order to be able to measure over small flat areas over the insert face. The intensity diffracted from the sample was measured with three images, with the area detector at different 2θ positions, resulting in diffraction information between 150 and 1050 in 2θ. The images were consequently merged (mixed) in Brukers EVA software (V 3.0) and converted to 1D diffractograms by integration, in which Bruker's software was defined as Gamma direction.
    [047] In order to investigate the texture of the α-Al2O3 layer, X-ray diffraction was conducted using CuKα radiation and TC texture coefficients (hkl) for different directions of column grain growth of the α-Al2O3 layer were calculated. in accordance with the Harris formula:

    [048] Where:- I(hkl) = measured intensity (integrated area) of reflection (hkl);- I0(hkl) = standard intensity in accordance with ICDD card PDF No. 00-010-0173;- n = number of reflections to be used in the calculation; - and in this case, the reflections (hkl) used are (01 2), (1 0 4), (1 1 0), (1 1 3), (1 1 6), (3 0 0), (2 1 4) and (0 0 12).
    [049] Data analysis, including background subtraction, Cu-Kα2 scaling and data profile assembly, was performed using PANalytical's X'Pert HighScore Plus software. The output (peak areas integrated into the assembled profile curve) from this program was then used to calculate the texture coefficients of α-Al2O3 by comparing the ratio of measured intensity data to standard intensity data (PDF record no. 10-0173), using the Harris formula. As the α-Al2O3 layer was a finitely thick film, the relative intensities of a pair of peaks at different 2θ angles are different than these relative intensities are for bulky samples, due to the fact that the differences in path length through α-Al2O3. Consequently, thin film correction was applied for the peak area intensities integrated into the profile mounted curve, also taking into account the linear absorption coefficient of α-Al2O3 when calculating the TC values. As possible additional layers above the α-Al2O3 layer will affect the X-ray intensities entering the α-Al2O3 layer and leaving the coating integrity, corrections need to be made for these as well as taking into account the coefficient of linear absorption for the respective compound in one layer. Alternatively, an additional layer, such as TiN, above the alumina layer may be removed by a method that does not substantially influence the XRD measurement results, eg pickling.
    [050] The TC values (0 0 12) for the α-Al2O3 layer of Sample A1, A2, A3 and B2, as measured on the leading face, are shown in Table 2. Example 4 - Intensity area measurements, I220/I311, of TiCN
    [051] The equipment used for the XRD measurements of the TiCN layer was the same as for the TC measurements of α-Al2O3 in Example 3 using the same methodology and the same equipment parameters. In this case, the unsandblasted gap face was measured.
    [052] In order to investigate the peak intensities (integrated peak area) of the TiCN layer, X-ray diffraction was conducted using CuKα radiation.
    [053] Data analysis, including background subtraction, Cu-Kα2 scaling, and profile assembly of the data, was performed using PANalytical's X'Pert HighScore Plus software. The output from this program has been integrated into peak areas for the assembled profile curve. As the TiCN layer was a finitely thick film, the relative intensities of a pair of peaks at different 2θ angles are different than these relative intensities are for bulky samples, due to the fact that the differences in path length through the TiCN layer. Consequently, thin film correction was applied for the peak area intensities integrated into the profile mounted curve, also taking into account the linear absorption coefficient of TiCN. As possible additional layers above the TiCN layer will affect the X-ray intensities entering the TiCN layer and leaving the coating integrity, corrections need to be made for these as well, especially if their thicknesses are substantial, in this case the α-Al2O3 layer and the upper layer of TiN, take into account the linear absorption coefficient for the respective compound in one layer.
    [054] It is to be noted that peak overlap is a phenomenon that can occur in X-ray diffraction analysis of coatings comprising, for example, several crystalline layers and/or which are deposited on a substrate comprising crystalline phases, and these must be considered and compensated by the person specialized in the state of the art. A peak overlap of peaks from the α-Al2O3 layer with peaks from the TiCN layer could influence I220/I311 and/or I220/I422. It is also to be noted that, for example, WC in the substrate may show diffraction peaks close to the peaks relevant to the present invention.
    [055] The area intensity values (corrected values) for TiCN are shown in Table 1.Table 1 - (Intensity ratios)
    Example 5 - Oscillation curve measurements
    [056] Oscillation curve measurements were performed on a Philips MRD [Materials Research Diffractrometer]. The diffractometer was operated in line focus with CuKα radiation (both α1 and α2). Incidence optics were an X-ray mirror with a divergence of 0.040 and a transverse slit collinear. The diffracted side optics was a 0.270 parallel plate hiller and a gas proportional point detector. At a fixed angle 2θ of 90.6650,a was scanned between 6.30 and 69.30 with a step size of 10 and 10 seconds per step in continuous mode. The outer layer, such as TiN, above the alumina layer may be removed by a method that does not substantially influence the XRD measurement results, eg pickling. As the α-Al2O3 layer is of finite thickness, the pathlength of the x-ray beam within the α-Al2O3 layer will be different as a function of the omega angle, for which the intensity data need to be corrected. This can be done by taking into account the thickness and linear absorption coefficient as described, for example, by Bircholz (Thin Film Analysis by X-ray Scattering, 2006, Wiley-VLC Verlag, ISBN 3-527-31052-5 , chapter 5.5.3, pages 211-215).
    [057] The results from the sway curve measurements, as measured over the gap face, are shown in Table 2. Example 6 - Difference Δ between the peaks of (0 0 12) of FHWM in θ - 2θ scan
    [058] The FWHM of the diffraction peak of (0 0 12) in an X-ray diffraction of θ - 2θ scan, corresponding to the one presented in Example 3, was measured, on the blasted lead face and on the non-bleeded gap face. sandblasted
    [059] The difference Δ between the peak FHWM of (0 0 12) in the θ - 2θ scan over the lead face and the FWHM of the peak of (0 012) in the θ - 2θ scan over the clearance face (not sandblasted) was measured on the graphs. The results are shown in Table 2, presented as difference Δ = FWHM (attack) - FWHM (clearance).Table 2 (Sandblasting)
    Example 7 - (Heat treatment)
    [060] To verify that a heat treatment transforms a sandblasted coating back to its stress state as a precedent for sandblasting, the following experimentation was performed. A cutting insert that was blast treated on its leading face showed a difference Δ = FWHM (lead) - FWHM (clearance) of 0.51. The pellet was heat treated for 3 hours at 1030°C in N2. After heat treatment, the difference Δ = FWHM (attack) - FWHM (clearance) was 0.08. A corresponding heat treatment can, therefore, be used in the case where the insert is not only blasted on the lead face, but also on the gap face, to produce a coating that is similar to that of an unblasted gap face. Example 8 - Crater wear test
    [061] Cutting tools coated as blasted in accordance with Example 2, i.e. Samples A1, A2, A3, B2, were tested in longitudinal transformation (turning) in ball bearing steel (100CrMo7-3) using the following cutting data: Cutting speed vc: 220 m/minCutting feed, f: 0.3 mm/revolution Cutting depth, ap: 2 mm Insert style: CNMG120408-PM
    [062] Water-miscible metal working fluid was used.
    [063] A cutting edge per cutting tool was evaluated.
    [064] In a crater wear analysis, the area of exposed substrate was measured using an optical light microscope. When the surface area of the exposed substrate exceeded 0.2 mm2 the tool life was considered reached. The wear of each cutting tool was evaluated after 2 minutes of cutting under an optical light microscope. The shear process was then continued with a measurement after every 2 minutes of running, until the shelf life criterion was reached. When the size of the crater area exceeded 0.2 mm2 the time until the tool life criterion was met was estimated based on the assumed constant wear rate between the last two measurements. In parallel with crater wear, flank wear was also observed, but had no influence in this test on tool life. The results are shown in Table 3. Example 9 - Hardness Test
    [065] The coated cutting tools of Example 2, ie Samples A1, A2, A3, B2 were tested in a hardness test.
    [066] The workpiece material consisted of two carbon steel bars (Fe 360C), mounted parallel to each other with a distance between them. In longitudinal transformation (turning) of this workpiece, the cutting tool will be exposed to two stops per revolution. In this test, the hardness of the cutting tool proved to be critical to its lifetime.
    [067] The following cutting data were used: Cutting speed vc: 80 m/min Cutting depth ap: 1.5 mm
    [068] Water-miscible metal working fluid was used.
    [069] Cut feed has been increased linearly. The starting value was 0.15 mm/revolution. After 1 minute of cutting, the feed value was 0.30 mm/revolution and after 2 minutes of cutting, the feed value was 0.45 mm/revolution.
    [070] An equipment for measuring the cutting forces was used. When an insert breakage occurred, the cutting force clearly increased and the machine was stopped. 15 cutting edges were evaluated per sample. The effective value of the break-cut feed for each of the 15 cutting edges was recorded. Values were ranked from the lowest fracture feed value to the highest fracture feed value for each cutting edge. The results are shown in Table 3, showing the fracture feed for edge number 3, the average value of all 15 edges and the value for edge number 13.Table 3 (Wear performance)

    [071] Crater wear test shows that an α-Al2O3 layer with a TC of (0 0 12) of about 7.4; an FWHM of an oscillation curve of about 20 and an I220/I311 value of about 0.4 - 0.7 determines a higher crater wear resistance than an α-Al2O3 layer with a TC of ( 0 0 12) of about 5.4; an FWHM of a wobble curve of about 36 and an I220/I311 value of about 1.1.
    [072] The hardness test shows that sufficient blasting to determine a Δ difference greater than 0.2 results in a good cutting tool. Additionally, as shown by the results, a higher blast pressure determines a stronger (more tenacious) cutting tool.
    [073] While the present invention has been described in connection with various exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments presented, but rather is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent provisions within the claims. escorts.
