Abstract
In a surface-coated boron nitride sintered compact tool, at least a part of the tool edge related with cutting is based on a substrate of a high pressure phase type boron nitride, and a surface-coated layer is provided on the surface thereof. The surface-coated layer includes an intermediate layer present in a continuous manner at the interface of the high pressure phase boron nitride sintered compact substrate, and further includes a hard coated layer formed thereon. The intermediate layer consists of at least one element selected from the Groups 4a, 5a and 6a of the Periodic Table, and has a mean thickness of 0.005 to 0.05 &mgr;m. Thereby, a markedly improved adhesive strength of the hard coated layer on the substrate is achieved.
