Abstract
A coated cutting tool including a substrate and a coating layer formed on the substrate, wherein the coating layer has a first alternately laminated structure in which two or more A layers and two or more B layers are alternately formed, the A layer contains (AlaCrbTi1-a-b)N, the B layer contains (AlcTi1-c-dBd)N, the average thickness of the first alternately laminated structure is 0.50 μm or more and 10.00 μm or less, and the average thickness per layer of each of the A layer and the B layer in the first alternately laminated structure is 2 nm or more and 300 nm or less.
Claims20
A coated cutting tool comprising a substrate and a coating layer formed on the substrate, wherein
