In FIG. 8, it is illustrated that a ratio of a size in the vertical direction is large with respect to a size in the horizontal direction. As shown in FIG. 8, in cut surface 10 perpendicular to bottom surface 60 and intersecting each of major cutting edge portion 82 and wiper cutting edge portion 81, first region 1 has a protruding shape and second region 2 has a recessed shape. The protruding shape is a shape protruding in a direction from bottom surface 60 toward top surface 50. From another point of view, it can be said that the protruding shape is a shape that is curved outward. The recessed shape is a shape depressed in the direction from top surface 50 toward bottom surface 60. From another point of view, it can be said that the recessed shape is a shape that is curved inward. The boundary line (third boundary line 6) between first region 1 and second region 2 is an inflection point of third rake face 53.


In cut surface 10, first region 1 is a protrusion having an arc shape, and second region 2 is a recess having an arc shape.

First region 1 is disposed at a position lower than first rake face 51 in the direction perpendicular to bottom surface 60. From another point of view, it can be said that the distance between bottom surface 60 and first rake face 51 is larger than the distance between bottom surface 60 and first region 1.


Next, the following describes functions and effects of cutting insert 100 according to the present embodiment.


According to cutting insert 100 of the present embodiment, top surface 50 includes: first rake face 51 contiguous to wiper cutting edge portion 81; second rake face 52 contiguous to major cutting edge portion 82; and third rake face 53 contiguous to nose cutting edge portion 83 and contiguous to each of first rake face 51 and second rake face 52. Boundary line 3 between second rake face 52 and third rake face 53 is separated from first end 86 and is contiguous to major cutting edge portion 82. Thus, the thickness in the vicinity of nose cutting edge portion 83 can be made larger than that in cutting insert 100 in which boundary line 3 between second rake face 52 and third rake face 53 is contiguous to first end 86. Further, when viewed in a cross sectional view, second rake face 52 and third rake face 53 are smoothly connected to each other. Therefore, the magnitude of the gradient of the maximum principal stress can be reduced in a rake face. As a result, breakage resistance is improved.


Further, according to cutting insert 100 according to the present embodiment, third rake face 53 may have first region 1 contiguous to first rake face 51 and second region 2 contiguous to second rake face 52. In the cross section perpendicular to bottom surface 60 and intersecting each of major cutting edge portion 82 and wiper cutting edge portion 81, first region 1 may have a protruding shape and second region 2 may have a recessed shape. Thus, the curl diameter of swarf generated during cutting can be made small, thereby improving a swarf discharging characteristic.


Further, according to cutting insert 100 according to the present embodiment, first distance D1 may be 1.2 or more times and 6 or less times as large as second distance D2, first distance D1 being defined as the distance between second end 85 and boundary point 4 between boundary line 3 and major cutting edge portion 82 in the direction parallel to bottom surface 60 and parallel to major cutting edge portion 82 when viewed in the direction perpendicular to bottom surface 60, second distance D2 being defined as the distance between second end 85 and first end 86 in the direction parallel to bottom surface 60 and parallel to major cutting edge portion 82 when viewed in the direction perpendicular to bottom surface 60. With first distance D1 being 1.2 or more times as large as second distance D2, the breakage resistance can be improved. With first distance D1 being 6 or less times as large as second distance D2, the swarf discharging characteristic can be improved.


Further, according to cutting insert 100 according to the present embodiment, in the cross section perpendicular to bottom surface 60 and inclined by 25° with respect to wiper cutting edge portion 81, third rake face 53 may be provided with the recess having the arc shape, and curvature radius R of the recess may be 0.5 or more times as large as first distance D1. Thus, the breakage resistance can be improved.


Further, according to cutting insert 100 according to the present embodiment, the rake angle of second rake face 52 may be larger than the rake angle of first rake face 51. Thus, the swarf discharging characteristic can be improved.


EXAMPLE

Next, the following describes a simulation result of gradient of maximum principal stress in a rake face.


First, simulation models of cutting inserts 100 according to samples 1 and 2 were produced. Cutting insert 100 according to sample 1 is an example of the present disclosure and has the shape shown in FIG. 6. Cutting insert 100 according to sample 2 is a comparative example and has a shape shown in FIG. 9. As shown in FIG. 9, in cutting insert 100 according to sample 2, boundary line 3 between second rake face 52 and third rake face 53 is contiguous to first end 86.


Each of the simulation models of cutting inserts 100 according to samples 1 and 2 was used to calculate the gradient of the maximum principal stress in the rake face. As simulation software, NX8.0 provided by SIEMENS was used. A load was applied to a range with a width of 0.2 mm and a height of 3 mm along major cutting edge portion 82 and first end 86. The direction of the load was perpendicular to bottom surface 60. The load was 1000 N. A feed amount per cutting edge (fz) was assumed to be 0.2 mm/tooth. A mesh size was 0.05 mm.

Table 1 shows the maximum value of the gradient of the maximum principal stress in the rake face of each of cutting inserts 100 according to samples 1 and 2. As shown in Table 1, the maximum value of the gradient of the maximum principal stress in the rake face of cutting insert 100 according to sample 1 was 732 MPa/mm. On the other hand, the maximum value of the gradient of the maximum principal stress in the rake face of cutting insert 100 according to sample 2 was 1478 MPa/mm. From the above results, it was confirmed that the gradient of the maximum principal stress in the rake face can be reduced in cutting insert 100 according to sample 1 as compared with cutting insert 100 according to sample 2.
