Cutting tool sintered body with specific hard particles and binding phase
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240026501A1) describes a sintered body for cutting tools, comprising hard particles with specific compositions and a binding phase containing elements like Co, Ni, Re, and Ru. The sintered body includes a combination of first, second, and third hard particles, with the third hard particle having a core portion containing TiCN and a peripheral portion containing (Ti, M) (C, N). The binding phase, which also includes Mo, has a thickness of not greater than 5 nm at grain boundaries between adjacent third hard particles, and each third hard particle contains at least one dislocation in both the core and peripheral portions.
Furthermore, the sintered body may include particles containing Al, Zr, or Si, with AlN as a main component. The patent application also extends to a cutting tool utilizing the described sintered body, with the cutting tool potentially featuring a coating layer on its surface. This innovative sintered body design aims to enhance the performance and durability of cutting tools by incorporating specific hard particles and a binding phase with controlled thickness at grain boundaries, ultimately improving the tool's cutting efficiency and longevity in various applications.
