Abstract

An indexable metalcutting insert is provided having a cobalt cemented tungsten carbide substrate wit a multilayer refractory coating thereon. The substrate has a cobalt content of 6.1 to 6.5 weight percent and is characterized by a hardness of 90.8 to 91.6 Rockwell A and a magnetic coercive force of 110 to 180 oerstads. The coating contains at least a plurality of alumina layers which are separated from and bonded to each other by a group IVB metal nitride, such as titanium nitride, and which are bonded to the substrate by a backing layer of 5 to 8 .mu. in thickness, composed of a carbide and/or carbonitride of titanium, zirconium and/or hafnium.
