Surface coated cutting tool excellent in peel resistance and wear resistance

Abstract

Problem to be solved.To provide a surface coated cutting tool the hard coated layer of which exhibits peel resistance and chipping resistance in a wet cutting process of a hard difficult-to-cut material such as a Ti based alloy.

Solution.In the cutting tool, an oxynitride layer of Ti and Al having an average layer thickness of 0.5 to 3.4 μm is coated on the outermost surface of a tool base, and a nitride layer of Ti and Al having an average layer thickness of 0.8 to 4.0 μm is coated on the lower layer. The oxynitride layer has a porous form having minute pores distributed with a meandering path from the surface toward the depth direction and when it is assumed that the diameter of a circle inscribed in a minute pore when the oxynitride layer is observed from the surface is the pore diameter of the minute pore, the pore diameter of the minute power is 0.1 to 1.5 μm, the specific surface area of the oxynitride layer is 0.4 to 1.0 m/g and the area ratio of the minute pore opening to the area on a substrate when the oxynitride layer is observed from the surface is 0.05 to 0.3.
