CUTTING TOOL FOR METALWORKING AS WELL AS METHOD IN THE PRODUCTION OF CUTTING TOOLS

摘要

A cutting tool and a method for the production of cutting tools for metalworking characterized in that the holder body of the tool first is submitted to a surface hardening that results in the formation of compressive stresses in the surface and then submitted to a surface treatment that gives additional contribution of compressive stresses in the surface. In this way, it is allowed to, on one hand, be able to modify/machine or remove parts of or the entire phase-transition layer obtained in the surface hardening at the same time as additional compressive stresses are built up in the surface.
