Abstract
A metal cutting tool includes a main body made of cemented carbide, cermet, ceramic, steel or high-speed steel, and a multi-layer wear protection coating. The wear protection coating includes a lower layer having an overall composition of TiAlN with 0.25<m<0.55 and an overall thickness of 500 nm to 3 μm. The lower layer has 50 to 600 pairs of alternately stacked sub-layers in a sequence (A-B-A-B- . . . ) and having a composition TiAlN with 0.45≤a≤0.55 and a thickness of 1 nm to 10 nm. The upper layer has 30 to 400 triples of alternately stacked sub-layers in a sequence (C-D-E-C-D-E- . . . ). The sub-layers of the upper layer have a composition TiAlSiN with x+y+z=1 and 0.20≤x≤0.45, 0.20≤y≤0.45 and 0.20≤z≤0.45 and a thickness of 1 nm to 10 nm.
