Abstract

A coated cutting tool comprising a substrate and a coating layer formed on a surface of the substrate, wherein: the coating layer comprises at least one α-type aluminum oxide layer; and, in the α-type aluminum oxide layer, a texture coefficient TC (0,0,12) of a (0,0,12) plane is from 4.0 or more to 8.4 or less, and a texture coefficient TC (0,1,8) of a (0,1,8) plane is from 0.5 or more to 3.0 or less.

Claims (140)
