Abstract
A coated cutting tool includes a substrate and a PVD coating having an outermost zone C being a nitride, carbide, boride, or mixtures thereof, of Si and at least two additional elements selected from Al, Y, and groups 4, 5 or 6 of the periodic table and zone C is free from a compositional gradient of an average content of Si. Zone C has a laminar, aperiodic, multilayered structure with alternating individual layers X and Y having different compositions from each other. The coating further includes a zone A closest to the substrate, a transitional zone B, where zone A is essentially free from Si, zone B includes a compositional gradient of the average content of Si, and where the average content of Si is increasing towards zone C.
