Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a coating layer for cutting tools, as a hard coating layer stacked and formed in the sequence of a TiN layer, a TiCN layer, a bonding layer, an alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) layer, and a cover layer from the bottom by using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method on a parent material, able to improve cutting performance, because surface residual stress of the coating layer may be maintained in a compressive stress state by adjusting a composition of the cover layer without using a separate additional process, such as a blasting operation, or a mixed process of CVD and physical vapor deposition (PVD), and simultaneously the cover layer may also be used as a wear-resistant layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A coating layer for cutting tools formed on a surface of a parent material by using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method comprising: an alumina layer formed of an α-phase, disposed on the parent material and composed of a composite structure having a columnar crystal structure and an equiaxed crystal structure mixed therein; and a cover layer formed of Al x Ti y Si z Cr w N (herein, x+y+z+w=1, x≧0.75, y≧0.2, 0≦z≦0.06, 0≦w≦0.08) and disposed on th…
