Abstract

Disclosed is an alpha alumina (α-Al2O3) thin film comprising the lower layer formed on the base material made from cemented carbide; and the α-Al2O3 thin film layer formed on the lower layer, wherein when the α-Al2O3 thin film layer is divided, from the total thickness (T) thereof, into a D1 layer which is from an interface layer to 0.15T, a D2 layer which is from 0.15T to 0.4T, and a D3 layer which is from 0.4T to 1T, an S1 (D3 layer grain size/D1 layer grain size) is 2-5.5 and an S2 (D2 layer grain size/D1 layer grain size) is 1.5-4.
