Cutting insert with internal cooling for a material-removing machining

摘要

A cutting insert with internal coolant for chip removing machining is limited by an upper side (6), an underside (7) and at least a side surface (8) between these. The cutting insert comprises partly an edge (9) in the area of the said upper surface, partly means for guiding the cooling medium in the direction of the cutting edge in order to cool it. A supporting body (11) with porous material structure through which pores the cooling medium can flow serves as a means to guide the cooling medium, said supporting body is at least partly enveloped by a surface shell (12) with impermeable, non-porous material structure. In this surface layer are found at least two openings (14, 15) which expose the supporting body's porous structure outwards, namely a first, localised at a distance from the cutting edge opening (14) which serves as a entrance for the inflow of the cooling medium to the inside of the supporting body, and a second, which serves as outlet for the cooling medium from the porous inner of the supporting body opening (15) which is situated near the cutting edge (9).
