Abstract:
A coated indexable cutting insert (1) for wet and dry milling of cast irons is provided. The substrate of the insert (1) is composed of a cemented tungsten carbide based composition containing about 5.7 to about 6.4 weight percent cobalt and about 2.9 to about 3.6 weight percent tantalum. The coating includes two coatings of differing composition. The first coating is selected from titanium carbide, titanium carbonitride, and titanium nitride. The second coating is alumina.
Abstract:
Provided is a coated cutting tool (10) having a binder enriched substrate (18). The coating includes at least one chemical vapor deposited (CVP) layer (30) and at least one physical vapor deposited (PVD) layer (34). The PVD layer contains residual compressive stresses.
Abstract:
Provided is a coated cutting tool (10) having a coating and a substrate. The coating includes at least one chemical vapor deposited (CVD) layer and at least one physical vapor deposited (PVD) layer. The outermost layer of the coating is a PVD layer, containing residual compressive stresses. The substrate is a composite having hard refractory grains bonded together by a binder material.
