A sintered material containing high-pressure phase-type boron nitride and a binder is provided. The high-pressure phase-type boron nitride is contained in an amount of from 50% to 78% by volume, and the balance is a binder phase. The binder phase comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of nitride, carbide, carbonitride, and boride of Ti, nitride, boride and oxide of Al, carbide and boride of W, nitride, carbide, carbonitride and boride of Co, and carbide and boride of Ni, or a mutual solid solution thereof. The binder phase forms a binder phase which is continuous in a sintered material texture. The weight of metal components Al, W, Co and Ni which are present as compounds in the sintered material is from 3% to 20% based on the sintered material. The sintered material is excellent in crater resistance and capable of realizing a long tool life, even under the condition that the temperature of the cutting edge becomes high and the impact is large, as in high-speed interrupted cutting of hardened steel where the cutting speed V becomes at least 150 m/min.

A method of cutting hardened steel using a cBN sintered tool which can improve the surface roughness while maintaining high dimensional accuracy. The upper limit of the tool feed rate is set at such a value that a theoretical surface roughness calculated from the feed rate is between 2/3 and 1/1000 of the target surface roughness. The amount of change of the feed rate between the upper and lower limits of the tool feed rate is set to be between 0.002 and 0.05 mm/rev, and the amount of every feed rate change is set not to be equal to the original feed rate multiplied by an integer. The feed rate is changed forcibly for every number of workpieces for which the total cutting length is between 10 and 1000 meters.
摘要:
In a pilot hole of a workpiece made of a difficult-to-cut cast iron, a cutting tool having a leading end to which a cutting insert is attached is inserted to cut the surface of the wall of the pilot hole. At this time, the cutting tool rotates about an axis (α) and also revolves about another axis (β), so that contouring is performed on the workpiece by the tool. The cutting insert is formed of a sintered body having a CBN content of not less than 85% by volume, and the cutting insert has a thermal conductivity of not less than 100 W/(mK).
