Coated cutting tool and a method for coating the cutting tool

A method for producing of a coated cutting tool comprising the steps of:

• applying a substrate of cemented carbide, cermet, ceramic, steel or cubic boron nitride with a hard and wear resistant coating having a thickness of 0.25-30 μm by means of PVD (physical vapor deposition) techniques, such as cathodic arc deposition, wherein the coating includes a first layer, the first layer being
• a (Ti1−xAlx)Ny layer with 0.1<x<0.7 and 0.6<y<1.1, or
• a NaCl structured (Ti1−yAlv)Nw/(Ti1−aSia)Nb nanolaminate with sublayer thickness between 5 and 50 nm, where 0.1<v<0.7, 0.7<w<1.1, 0.02<a<0.25, and 0.7<b<1.1, or
• a (Ti1−mSim)Nn layer, where 0≤m<0.25, and 0.7<n<1.1, or
• a (Cr1−cAlc)Nd layer, where 0.5<c<0.9, and 0.7<d<1.1, or
• a (Cr1−eAle)2O3 layer, where 0.5<e<0.9
• and a second layer, the second layer being a Cr layer arranged as an outermost layer of the coating;
• and
• growing the Cr layer by using pure Cr cathodes applying an evaporation current between 50 A and 200 A, a gas atmosphere containing pure Ar at a total gas pressure between 1.0 Pa and 7.0 Pa, and applying a deposition temperature between room temperature and 500° C.
