Carbide base cemented carbide. There is an unlayered cobalt strengthening region starting near the peripheral surface of the substrate and extending inwardly from the peripheral surface of the substrate. The unlayered reinforcement region has an A porosity, the bulk substrate is at least C00 and has a porosity of C02 or less or C02.
Referring to the drawings, in FIG. 1 a particular embodiment of the present invention is shown as a splittable cutting insert 10. The cutting insert 10 has a cutting edge 12 at the junction of the flank face 16 and the rake face 14. Although the cutting insert 10 shown in FIG. 1 is in the SPGN 432 style with the chamfered cutting edges, the present applicant can determine whether the invention has a chamfered cutting edge or no chamfered cutting edges. Regardless of the style of cutting inserts are included.
FIG. 2 shows a cross section at the cutting edge 12 of the cutting insert 10 taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 1. Substrate 18 is an area 20 that is not reinforced with a binder, that is, an area that includes the central portion (or bulk region) of the substrate and an outer side (or surrounding) near the perimeter boundaries 24 and 26 of the substrate. It has a binder reinforced region 22. The outer binder reinforced region 22 represents binder strengthening in an unlayered form. In other words, the binder reinforced region 22 is very homogeneous throughout. This is one binder, as discussed by Kobori et al. In Powder and Powder Metallurgy, Vol. 34, No. 3, pp. 129-133 (April 1987), entitled “Binder Enriched Layer Formed Near the Surface of Cemented Carbide”. It is distinguished from the layered binder reinforcement region formed as layers forming another layer on the layer of.

In the reinforced region 22, the solid carbide and / or carbonitride is totally or partially depleted such that tungsten carbide and cobalt comprise most of the composition of the binder reinforced region 22.
Within the binder reinforced region 22, the binder (eg cobalt) content should be at a maximum of about 125 to 300 percent. A more preferred range of reinforced binder is about 150 to 300 percent of the bulk binder content. The most preferred range of reinforced binders is from about 200 to about 300 percent of the bulk cobalt concentration of the substrate.
Preferably, the binder reinforced region 22 extends to the peripheral surfaces 24 and 26 of the substrate. Optionally, the cobalt content is reduced due to evaporation during sintering of the substrate, such that a thin layer of binder (eg, cobalt) strengthened region 22 extends near the peripheral surfaces 24 and 26 of the substrate 18. It may be adjacent to the peripheral surfaces 24, 26. The thickness of the binder reinforced region is preferably about 50 micrometers (μm) or less.
On the peripheral surfaces 24 and 26 of the substrate are bonded rigid coatings 29 which preferably have one or more layers applied by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or a combination of CVD and physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques. MT CVD (medium temperature CVD) technology can be used to add a layer, such as a titanium carbonitride layer. Such layers may include a base layer 30, an intermediate layer 32, and an outer layer 34. In Figure 2, the layers are shown having different thicknesses, it should be understood that this is for illustration only. The thickness of each layer 30, 32, 34 depends on the particular use of the cutting insert.
Substrate 30 is deposited directly on surfaces 24 and 26 of substrate 30. The thickness of the base layer 30 preferably varies between about 3 micrometers (μm) and about 6 μm.

The outer layer 34 is deposited directly on the surface of the intermediate layer 32. The thickness of the outer layer 32 varies between about 1.5 μm and about 4 μm. The composition of the outer layer may vary, but preferred compositions may include titanium nitride, titanium carbonitride, titanium aluminum nitride and alumina.
While the above specification has described suitable subjects for the coating layers, suitable coating schemes use a base coating of titanium carbide, an intermediate coating of titanium carbonitride and an outer coating of titanium nitride.
US Pat. No. 4,035,541 to Smith et al. Discloses a three layer coating that can be used for the cutting insert shown in FIG. In addition, the coating scheme can be used for CVD and PVD processes such as Stanthanam's U.S. Patent No. 5,250,367 entitled "Binder Enriched CVD and PVD Coated Cutting Insert" and Stanthanam's U.S. Patent No. 5,266,388 named "Binder Enriched Coated Cutting Insert". It can be added by a combination of. Applicant hereby incorporated by reference herein US Pat. No. 4,035,541 to Smith et al., US Pat. No. 5,250,367 to Stanthanam and US Pat. No. 5,266,388 to Stanthanam.

It intersects with the other rake face (not shown) opposite from the rake face 44. The cutting insert 40 has a substrate 49 having a peripheral area 52 of the rake face and a peripheral area 54 of the flank face. The substrate 49 has a binder reinforced layer 56 near the bulk portion 50 that comprises most of the substrate 49 and the peripheral region 52 of the rake face. The binder reinforcement is missing from the bulk portion 49 which includes the volume near the peripheral region 54.
The substrate 49 for the cutting insert 40 is of substantially the same composition as the substrate for the cutting insert 10. The level of binder reinforcement is also approximately the same as the binder reinforcement for cutting insert 10 for cutting insert 40. The basic coating scheme for the cutting insert 40 (shown in parentheses of 59) is also largely the same as for the cutting insert 10. In this regard, the cutting insert 40 has a base coating layer 60, an intermediate coating layer 62 and an outer coating layer 64.
