Abstract:
A surface-coated cutting tool of the invention is a surface-coated cutting tool in which a surface of a tool body is coated with a lower layer and an upper layer, in which at least one layer of the lower layer is made of a TiCN layer, the upper layer has an average layer thickness of 2 to 15 μm and is made of an Al2O3 layer having an α-type crystal structure in a chemically deposited state, and in a coincidence grain boundary distribution graph, a highest peak is present in Σ3 in the range of Σ3 to Σ29, a distribution ratio of Σ3 occupies 35 to 70% of the whole coincidence grain boundary length of Σ3 or more, and a coincidence grain boundary of Σ31 or more occupies 25 to 60% of the whole coincidence grain boundary length of Σ3 or more.
