Abstract
Disclosed is a hard coating including a chemical composition specified by formula: (TiAlSiR)O, where R represents at least one rare-earth element; and a, b, c, d, and x are atomic ratios respectively of Ti, Al, Si, R, and O. The atomic ratios meet conditions as specified by formulae: 0.30≦a≦0.7, 0.30≦b≦0.70, 0≦c≦0.2, 0.005≦d≦0.05, a+b+c+d=1, and 0.5≦a/b<1. The atomic ratios meet a condition as specified by Formula (1) when R does not include Ce. The atomic ratios meet a condition as specified by Formula (2) when R includes Ce. The hard coating has better wear resistance as compared with conventional nitride films and oxide films.0.8≦[/(21.521.5)]≦1.2  (1)0.8≦[/(21.522)]≦1.2  (2)
