| 20080196318 | Carbide Cutting Insert - Cutting tools and cutting inserts having a wear resistant coating on a substrate comprising a metal carbide particle and a binder. For certain applications, a cutting insert having a wear resistant coating comprising hafnium carbon nitride and a binder comprising ruthenium may provide a greater service life. The wear resistant coating comprising hafnium carbon nitride may have a thickness of from 1 to 10 microns. In another embodiment, the cutting tool comprises a cemented carbide substrate with a binder comprising at least one of iron, nickel and cobalt. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080226943 | Composite Articles - A composite article includes a first composite material and a second composite material. The first composite material and the second composite material individually comprise hard particles in a binder. A concentration of ruthenium in the binder of the first composite material is different from a concentration of ruthenium in the binder of the second composite material. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090041612 | COMPOSITE CUTTING INSERTS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - Embodiments of the present invention include methods of producing a composite article. A method comprises introducing a first powdered metal grade from a feed shoe into a first portion of a cavity in a die and a second powdered metal grade from the feed shoe into a second portion of the cavity, wherein the first powder metal grade differs from the second powdered metal grade in chemical composition or particle size. Further methods are also provided. Embodiments of the present invention also comprise composite inserts for material removal operations. The composite inserts may comprise a first region and a second region, wherein the first region comprises a first composite material and the second region comprises a second composite material. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090097929 | CUTTING INSERT FOR HIGH FEED FACE MILLING, AND MILLING CUTTER TOOL INCLUDING SAME - A cutting insert for milling operations, such as, face milling, slot milling, plunge milling, and ramping operations. The cutting insert exhibits a combination of favorable cutting edge strength, and unique cutting edge geometry, thus, allowing milling operations at relatively high feed rates. The cutting insert includes at least four cutting edges, wherein at least one of the cutting edges is a convex cutting edge. Certain embodiments of square cutting inserts will have four convex cutting edges which may be connected by nose corners. The convex cutting edge may comprise at least one of a circular arc, a portion of an ellipse, a portion of a parabola, a multi-segment spline curve, a straight line, or combinations of these. Wherein the convex cutting edge comprises a circular arc, the circular arc may have a radius greater than or equal to two times a radius of the largest circle that may be inscribed on the top surface. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090136308 | Rotary Burr Comprising Cemented Carbide - A rotary burr comprising cemented carbide for removing material from a workpiece includes a shank and a working portion and a shank. A surface of the working portion includes a plurality of right-handed helically oriented flutes that define a plurality of cutting teeth on the working portion. Each of the plurality of cutting teeth defined by the right-handed flutes includes a front face, a back face, a tip, and a positive front face angle, and lacks a radial land adjacent the tooth tip and at the periphery of the working portion. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090279962 | CUTTING TOOL SYSTEM, CUTTING INSERT, AND TOOL HOLDER - An improved design of a cutting insert system includes a plurality of indexable peripheral milling cutting inserts adapted to be mounted on a peripheral milling tool holder. Each of the cutting inserts includes an insert width that is the same for each cutting insert. Each of the cutting inserts also includes a corner nose having a corner nose radius dimension that is different for each cutting insert, and an axial alignment clearance face that defines an equivalent face location and an equivalent clearance angle for each of the plurality of cutting inserts when the insert is detachably mounted on the tool holder. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100202845 | MULTI-PIECE DRILL HEAD AND DRILL INCLUDING THE SAME - One non-limiting aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a multi-piece spade drill head for a spade drill, wherein the spade drill includes an elongate body portion and a cutting portion removably secured to an end of the body portion. The multi-piece spade drill head includes at least two insert pieces, each piece including a cutting edge. The at least two insert pieces are configured to be removably secured to the body portion of the spade drill adjacent one another and with the cutting edges of the insert pieces aligned to together form a cutting edge on an end of the spade drill. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100227160 | Al203 CERAMIC TOOLS WITH DIFFUSION BONDING ENHANCED LAYER - The present invention relates to ceramic cutting tools, such as, an aluminum oxide with zirconium oxide ceramic cutting tool with diffusion bonding enhanced layer and CVD coatings, particularly useful for machining modern metal materials. The method comprises a chemical reaction with a mixture including nitrogen and aluminum chloride introduced to form a diffusion bonding enhanced layer between the ceramic substrate and the CVD coatings. Thus formed diffusion bonding enhanced layer is highly adherent to the aluminum oxide with zirconium oxide ceramic substrate and significantly enhances the CVD coating properties, thus improving the machining performance in terms of the tool life of zirconium-based aluminum oxide with zirconium oxide ceramic cutting tools. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110103904 | ANTIROTATION TOOL HOLDER AND CUTTING INSERT - The present invention relates to embodiments of a cutting tool holder having at least one insert pocket, wherein at least one insert pocket comprises a side surface and at least one antirotation stop protruding from the side surface. The antirotation stop may comprise at least two substantially planar surfaces. In certain embodiments, the cutting tool holder may have a pocket which comprises a bottom surface and an antirotation stop having three substantially planar surfaces that are substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110110731 | CUTTING TOOL SYSTEM, CUTTING INSERT, AND TOOL HOLDER - An improved design of a cutting insert system includes a plurality of indexable peripheral milling cutting inserts adapted to be mounted on a peripheral milling tool holder. Each of the cutting inserts includes an insert width that is the same for each cutting insert.
