Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to a cutting tool including a cemented carbide substrate having WC, gamma phase and a binder phase. The substrate is provided with a binder phase enriched surface zone, which is depleted of gamma phase, wherein no graphite and no ETA phase is present in the microstructure and wherein the binder phase is a high entropy alloy.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A cutting tool comprising a cemented carbide substrate, wherein said substrate comprises a microstructure of WC, a gamma phase comprising (W,M)C and/or (W,M)(C,N) wherein M is one or more of Ti, Ta, Nb, Hf, Zr and V, and a binder phase, said substrate including a binder phase enriched surface zone which is depleted of gamma phase, wherein no graphite and no eta phase is present in the microstructure of said substrate and wherein the binder phase is a high entropy alloy comprising 4 or more elements selected from Co, Cr, Cu, W, Fe, Ni, Mo and Mn wherein the amount of each element is between 5 to 35 at % of the total amount of the high entropy alloy. 2. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the elements in the high entropy alloy is selected from Cr, Fe, Ni and Co. 3. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of the elements in the high entropy alloy are selected from Cr, Fe, Ni and Co. 4. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the high entropy alloy includes Co, Cr, Fe and Ni. 5. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the high entropy alloy includes Co, Cu, Cr, Fe and Ni. 6. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the surface zone is between 2 and 100 μm. 7. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the gamma phase is between 3 to 25 vol %. 8. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate is provided with a coating.
