Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2031090A2] It is an object of the present invention to provide a hard covering film for a cutting tool which can improve the wear resistance beyond that of a conventional AlCrN film. According to the present invention, there is provided a hard covering film for a cutting tool formed on a cutting tool substrate, characterized in that: the hard covering film comprises a first multi-layer covering film layer formed by alternatingly layering two or more layers each of a first covering film layer and a second covering film layer; the first covering film layers have metal and semi-metal components that are expressed (in terms of at%) by Al( 100-x-y-z )Cr (x) V (y) B (z) (where 20 ‰¤ x ‰¤ 40, 2 ‰¤ y ‰¤ 15, and 5 ‰¤ z ‰¤ 15), have N as a non-metallic element, and have unavoidable impurities; the second covering film layers have metal and semi-metal components that are expressed (in terms of at%) by Al (100-u-v-w) Cr (u) V (v) B (w) (where 20 ‰¤ u ‰¤ 40, 0 ‰¤ v ‰¤ 5, 0 ‰¤ w ‰¤ 5), have N as a non-metallic element, and have unavoidable impurities; the relationship between y and v such that y ‰¥ v is satisfied; and the relationship between z and w such that z - 5 ‰¥ w is satisfied.
