Coated tool

A coated tool comprising:

• a base material;
• and
• a hard coating film on the base material,
• wherein the hard coating film is a nitride or carbonitride which contains aluminum (Al) of 70 atomic % or more and 90 atomic % or less and titanium (Ti) of 10 atomic % or more and 30 atomic % or less with respect to a total amount of metal (including metalloid) elements, a total of aluminum (Al) and titanium (Ti) of 85 atomic % or more, and argon (Ar) of 0.20 atomic % or less with respect to a total amount of metal (including metalloid) elements and non-metal elements, and
• wherein no peak intensity of AlN having a hexagonal close packed structure is detected in the X-ray diffraction of the hard coating, and
• the hard coating film satisfies a relationship of Ih×100/Is≤12 when a peak intensity due to a (010) plane of AlN of a hexagonal close-packed structure is Ih and a sum of a peak intensity due to a (111) plane of AlN, a (111) plane of TiN, a (200) plane of AlN, a (200) plane of TiN, a (220) plane of AlN, and a (220) plane of TiN of a face-centered cubic structure and a peak intensity due to a (010) plane of AlN, a (011) plane of AlN, and a (110) plane of AlN of a hexagonal close-packed structure is Is in an intensity profile obtained from a selected area diffraction pattern of a transmission electron microscope.
