Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cutting insert includes a rake face, a flank face, and a cutting edge constituted of a ridgeline between the rake face and the flank face. The cutting edge has a first cutting edge portion for corner processing, a second cutting edge portion for low cut-in pulling processing, a third cutting edge portion for high cut-in pulling processing, a fourth cutting edge portion for finished-surface processing, a first connection cutting edge portion, a second connection cutting edge portion, and a third connection cutting edge portion. The fourth cutting edge portion is disposed between the first cutting edge portion and the second cutting edge portion. The second cutting edge portion is disposed between the fourth cutting edge portion and the third cutting edge portion. Each of the first cutting edge portion, the second cutting edge portion, and the fourth cutting edge portion has a curved shape.

The invention claimed is: 1 . A cutting insert having a surface involved in cutting, the surface being composed of a cBN-based sintered material, a diamond-based sintered material, a ceramic, a cermet, or a cemented carbide, the cutting insert comprising: a rake face; a flank face; and a cutting edge constituted of a ridgeline between the rake face and the flank face, wherein the cutting edge has a first cutting edge portion for corner processing, a second cutting edge portion for low cut-in pulling processing, a third cutting edge portion for high cut-in pulling processing, a fourth cutting edge portion for finished-surface processing, a first connection cutting edge portion that connects the first cutting edge portion and the fourth cutting edge portion, a second connection cutting edge portion that connects the second cutting edge portion and the fourth cutting edge portion, and a third connection cutting edge portion that connects the second cutting edge portion and the third cutting edge portion, the fourth cutting edge portion is disposed between the first cutting edge portion and the second cutting edge portion, the second cutting edge portion is disposed between the fourth cutting edge portion and the third cutting edge portion, each of the first cutting edge portion, the second cutting edge portion, and the fourth cutting edge portion has a curved shape, a curvature radius of the first cutting edge portion is 0.1 mm or more and 2.4 mm or less, a curvature radius of the second cutting edge portion is 3 mm or more, a curvature radius of the fourth cutting edge portion is 3 mm or more, the third cutting edge portion has a straight line shape, and each of the first connection cutting edge portion, the second connection cutting edge portion, and the third connection cutting edge portion has a curved shape, a curvature radius of the second cutting edge portion is smaller than a curvature radius of the fourth cutting edge portion. 2 . The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein a curvature radius of each of the first connection cutting edge portion, the second connection cutting edge portion, and the third connection cutting edge portion is 0.2 mm or more. 3 . The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein a flank angle of each of the first cutting edge portion, the second cutting edge portion, the third cutting edge portion, and the fourth cutting edge portion is 3° or more and 20° or less. 4 . The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the flank face has a restraint surface to be restrained by a holder, and when an apex angle of the second cutting edge portion is defined as a first angle and an apex angle of a ridgeline between the restraint surface and the rake face is defined as a second angle, the second angle is smaller than the first angle, and the second angle is 30° or more and 80° or less. 5 . The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the flank face has a restraint surface to be restrained by a holder, and when an apex angle of the second cutting edge portion is defined as a first angle and an apex angle of a ridgeline between the restraint surface and the rake face is defined as a second angle, the second angle is smaller than the first angle, and the first angle is 35° or more and 85° or less. 6 . The cutting insert according to claim 4 , wherein a flank angle of the restraint surface is 0°. 7 . A processing method using the cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein in pulling processing for processing a workpiece using the second cutting edge portion, a lateral rake angle of the second cutting edge portion is −20° or more and 20° or less. 8 . The processing method according to claim 7 , wherein in pulling processing for processing a workpiece using the third cutting edge portion, a lateral rake angle of the third cutting edge portion is −20° or more and 20° or less. 9 . The processing method according to claim 7 , wherein the second cutting edge portion is located within a range of 0.15 mm or less from a position closest to the workpiece in a direction perpendicular to a rotation axis, and in the pulling processing for processing the workpiece using the second cutting edge portion, a lateral cutting edge angle of the second cutting edge portion is 70° or more and 89° or less. 10 . The processing method according to claim 7 , wherein the third cutting edge portion is located within a range of 0.05 mm or more and 0.5 mm or less from a position closest to the workpiece in a direction perpendicular to a rotation axis, and a lateral cutting edge angle of the third cutting edge portion is 60° or more and 85° or less. 11 . The processing method according to claim 7 , wherein a minimum value of a lateral cutting edge angle of the second cutting edge portion is the same as a lateral cutting edge angle of the third cutting edge portion.
