Abstract
A hard coating includes a three kinds of layers that are alternately laminated. The three kinds of layers consist of a single composition layer and two kinds of nanolayer-alternated layers. The single composition layer is constituted by one of an A composition (nitride of AlCrSiα), a B composition (nitride of AlTiSiβ) and a C composition (nitride of AlCr(SiC)γ). The two kinds of nanolayer-alternated layers include nanolayers which are alternately laminated and which are constituted by two of three combinations consisting of a combination of the A composition and B composition, a combination of the A composition and C composition and a combination of the B composition and C composition. The single composition layer has a thickness of 0.5-1000 nm. Each of the nanolayers constituting the two kinds of nanolayer-alternated layers has a thickness of 0.5-500 nm, and each of the two kinds of nanolayer-alternated layers has a thickness of 1-1000 nm.
