Abstract
A surface-coated cutting tool comprises a hard coating layer that includes a TiAlN layer and is provided on a surface of a cutting tool body. In case the composition of the TiAlN layer is expressed by a formula: (TiAl)N, 0.10≤x≤0.35 (here, x is in atomic ratio) is satisfied. In the TiAlN layer, a high Ti band-like region is present in a direction at 30 degrees or less with respect to a line normal to the surface of the cutting tool body. An average composition X of the Ti component in the high Ti band-like region satisfies (x+0.01)≤X≤(x+0.05), an average width W of the high Ti band-like region is 30 to 500 nm, and an average area ratio St of the high Ti band-like region is 3 to 50 area %.
