Drill having a coating

Coating method for coating substrates, wherein at least one first and at least one second layer are deposited on at least one part of the substrate surface, characterized in that:

• the first layer is a HiPIMS layer that is applied by means of a HiPIMS process, preferably directly onto the substrate surface, and
• the second layer is applied by means of a coating method of another type, by means of at least one of conventional sputtering and a PACVD method and a combined MS/PACVD method onto the first layer,
• wherein the first layer includes at least one layer of at least one nitride and/or carbide and/or oxide, and an amorphous carbon or DLC layer provided on the HiPIMS layer.

Drill with a coating that is executed at least on the drill head of the drill and that has at least one HiPIMS layer that is applied directly onto the drill body of the drill, characterized in that the HiPIMS layer includes at least one layer of at least one nitride and/or carbide and/or oxide, and an amorphous carbon or DLC layer provided on the HiPIMS layer,

• wherein a metalliferous DLC layer, is provided on the HiPIMS layer,
• at least one metallic element in the metalliferous DLC layer matches a metallic element in the HiPIMS layer, and
• between the HiPIMS layer and the metalliferous DLC layer, at least one layer containing nitrogen and carbon is deposited, whose nitrogen content decreases gradually towards the surface.
