A coated tool is, for example, a cutting tool which is provided with a base material and a coating layer located on the base material, wherein a cutting edge and a flank surface are located on the coating layer, the coating layer has a portion in which at least a titanium carbonitride layer and an aluminum oxide layer having an a-type crystal structure are laminated in this order, and, with regard to a texture coefficient (Tc) (hkl) which is calculated on a basis of a peak of the aluminum oxide layer analyzed by an X-ray diffraction analysis, a texture coefficient (Tc1) (146) as measured from a surface side of the aluminum oxide layer in the flank surface is 1 or more.
(canceled)
The coated tool according to claim 5[[1]], wherein a texture coefficient Tc2 (146), which is detected by the measurement in which a the first portion is polished to allow only a side of the base material of the second layer to leave, is smaller than the Tc1 (146).
The coated tool according to claim 5, wherein one of I(116) and I(104) is the first most-intense peak and another one of I(104) and I(116) is the second most-intense peak among surface side peaks detected in measurement from above a top surface of the first portion.
The coated tool according to claim 5, wherein a texture coefficient Tc3 (104) which is measured from above a top surface of the second portion is smaller than a texture coefficient Tc1 (104) which is measured from above the top surface of the first portion.
A coated tool comprising,
