Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

CVD coated cutting tools are provided. A coated cutting tool described herein, in some embodiments, comprises a PcBN substrate and a polished coating adhered to the substrate including one or more layers of Al 2 O 3 deposited by chemical vapor deposition, wherein the coating has a surface roughness (R a ) less than about 600 nm in an area of the cutting tool for contacting a workpiece.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed is: 1. A coated cutting tool comprising: a polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) substrate comprising greater than 85 weight percent PcBN; and a polished coating adhered to the substrate comprising first and second layers of Al 2 O 3 deposited by chemical vapor deposition, wherein the first Al 2 O 3 layer of the coating is deposited directly on the PcBN substrate and the second Al 2 O 3 layer is deposited on TiN, TiC or TiCN layer and wherein the co…
