Abstract

A coated cutting tool and a hard and wear resistant coating for a body include at least one metal based nitride layer. The layer is (ZrxCrl-x-y-zAlyMez)Na with 0.55<x<0.85, 0.05<y<0.45, 0≤z<0.20, 0.95<a<1.10, and Me is one or more of the elements: Y, Ti, V, Nb, Ta, Mo, W, Mn or Si. The layer can have a thickness between 0.5 μm and 15 μm and be comprisied of a single cubic phase or a single hexagonal phase or a mixture thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, the layer is a cubic phase of a sodium chloride structure. The layer can be deposited using cathodic arc evaporation and is useful for metal cutting applications generating high temperatures.
