Composite sintered body cutting tool and surface coated composite sintered body cutting tool

Abstract

A composite sintered body cutting tool is made of a composite sintered body comprising a TiCN-based cermet layer; and a WC-based cemented carbide layer. The angle between the rake face and the flank face of the cutting tool is 90°. The rake face including a cutting edge of the cutting tool is constituted from the WC-based cemented carbide layer, in which 4 to 17 mass % of an iron group metal component and 75 mass % or more of W are included; and a major hard phase component is WC. The thickness of the WC-based cemented carbide layer is 0.05 to 0.3 times the thickness of the composite sintered body. The TiCN-based cermet layer is constituted from a single layer of a TiCN-based cermet layer, including at least, 4 to 25 mass % of an iron group metal component, less than 15 mass % of W, 2 to 15 mass % of Mo, 2 to 10 mass % of Nb and 0.2 to 2 mass % of Cr in a case where contents of the constituting components of the cermet layer are expressed as contents of metal components, and satisfy the Co content relative to the total content of Co and Ni of 0.5 to 0.8 with respect to Co and Ni of the iron group metal component in a mass ratio. When the height profile from the upper end to the lower end of the flank face is measured in the plane, which passes the center of the rake face of the cutting tool and is perpendicular to both of the rake face and the flank face, as the line, which passes the ridge line where the rake face and the flank face intersect and perpendicular to the rake face, being the reference line, the maximum elevation difference value of the height profile is in a ratio of 0.01 or less with respect to the thickness of the composite sintered body from the front surface of the rake face to a rear surface.
