Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A coated tool in a non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure includes a base and a coating film located on the base. The coated tool includes a first surface, a second surface adjacent to the first surface, and a cutting edge located on at least a part of a ridge part of the first surface and the second surface. The coating film includes an AlTiN film. The coating film has a first compressive stress σ11 in a first direction which is parallel to a surface of the base and intersects with the cutting edge at an angle of 90°, and a second compressive stress σ22 in a second direction which intersects with the first direction at an angle of 90°. The first compressive stress σ11 is different from the second compressive stress σ22.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A coated tool, comprising a base and a coating film located on the base, the coated tool comprising: a first surface, a second surface adjacent to the first surface, and a cutting edge located on at least a part of a ridge part of the first surface and the second surface, wherein the coating film comprises an AlTiN film; the coating film has a first compressive stress σ 11 in a first direction which is parallel to a surface of the base and intersects with the cutting edge at an angle of 90°, and a second compressive stress σ 22 in a second direction which intersects with the first direction at an angle of 90°, and the first compressive stress σ 11 is different from the second compressive stress σ 22 . 2. The coated tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first compressive stress σ 11 is 1.05 times or more than the second compressive stress σ 22 . 3. The coated tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first compressive stress σ 11 is 200-2000 MPa, and the second compressive stress σ 22 is 100-1500 MPa. 4. The coated tool according to claim 1 , wherein the AlTiN film is represented by Al x Ti 1-x N, and x is 0.7 to 0.9. 5. The coated tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first surface is a rake surface, and the second surface is a flank surface. 6. A method for making a coated tool, the method comprising: providing a base of the coated tool, the base comprising: a first surface, a second surface adjacent to the first surface, and a cutting edge located on at least a part of a ridge part of the first surface and the second surface; and forming a coating film using chemical vapor deposition on at least part of the base, the coating film comprising an AlTiN film with a first compressive stress σ 11 in a first direction which is parallel to a surface of the base and intersects with the cutting edge at an angle of 90°, and a second compressive stress σ 22 in a second direction which intersects with the first direction at an angle of 90°, wherein the first compressive stress σ 11 is larger than the second compressive stress σ 22 . 7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first compressive stress σ 11 is 1.05 times or more than the second compressive stress σ 22 . 8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first compressive stress σ 11 is 200-2000 MPa, and the second compressive stress σ 22 is 100-1500 MPa. 9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the AlTiN film is represented by Al x Ti 1-x N, and x is 0.7 to 0.9. 10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first surface is a rake surface, and the second surface is a flank surface. 11. The method according to claim 6 , wherein when forming the coating layer using chemical vapor deposition, the coating layer is deposited by supplying a composition of a mixed gas in a direction intersecting with the cutting edge at approximately right angles. 12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the mixed gas is supplied at a velocity in a range of 5 m/s to 50 m/s. 13. The method according to claim 6 , wherein when forming the coating layer using chemical vapor deposition, the coating layer is deposited by supplying a composition of a mixed gas in a direction approximately parallel to the cutting edge. 14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the mixed gas is supplied at a velocity in a range of 5 m/s to 50 m/s and a flow rate in a range of 10 L/min. to 100 L/min.
