Abstract

A coated cutting tool comprising a substrate and a coating layer formed on a surface of the substrate, the coating layer including at least one α-type aluminum oxide layer, wherein: in the α-type aluminum oxide layer, a texture coefficient TC (0,0,12) of a (0,0,12) plane falls within a predetermined range; a residual stress value in a (1,1,6) plane of the α-type aluminum oxide layer falls, at least in part thereof, within a predetermined range; and a residual stress value in a (4,0,10) plane of the α-type aluminum oxide layer falls, at least in part thereof, within a predetermined range.

Claims (82)
