| 20120114964 | COATED-SURFACE SLIDING PART HAVING EXCELLENT COATING ADHESION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - Provided is a coated-surface sliding part having excellent adhesion of a hard coating, and a method for producing the same part. The coated-surface sliding part is a sliding part wherein a hard coating is formed by physical deposition on the surface of a base material formed from, by mass percent, C 0.5 to 0.8%, Si 0.1 to 1.5%, Mn 0.2 to 1.0%, Cr 8.0 to 13.5%, Mo and/or W 0.5 to 4.0% in terms of (Mo+ 1/2 W), and N 0.01 to 0.1%, with the remainder being Fe and impurities. The physically deposited coating is a titanium metal coating further covered by a diamond-like carbon coating. The method for producing a coated-surface part involves sputtering in order to apply the physically deposited coating, which consists of the titanium metal coating and then the diamond-like carbon coating which forms the surface layer, to the surface of the base material having the aforementioned composition. The base material is preferably subjected to argon gas bombardment prior to application of the physically deposited coating. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20120020749 | CARBIDE END MILL AND CUTTING METHOD USING THE END MILL - Provided is a long life carbide end mill which can perform stable cutting in high-efficiency machining such as die machining and parts machining. A cutting method using such an end mill is also provided. When a certain wavy or nicked peripheral cutting edge is considered a reference peripheral cutting edge with reference phases in a pitch of the reference peripheral cutting edge, wherein the distance of each reference phase is an amount corresponding to a value obtained by dividing the pitch of the nicks or waveform of each peripheral cutting edge by the number of the cutting edges; and the phase of at least one of the remaining peripheral cutting edges is deviated in the direction of the tool axis from the corresponding reference phase by an amount corresponding to 5% or less (excluding 0%) of the pitch. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20100215912 | HARD-COATED MEMBER, AND ITS PRODUCTION METHOD - The hard-coated member of the present invention having a compression-stress-loaded hard coating having a thickness of 5 μm or more, the hard coating having a face-centered cubic structure having a composition represented by (Me | 08-26-2010 |
