ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to cutting tool insert for metal machining on which at least on the functioning parts of the surface thereof a thin, adherent, hard and wear resistant coating is applied. The coating comprises a metal oxide/oxide composite layer consisting of two components with a grain size of from about 1 to about 100 nm. The oxide layer is under a compressive stress.
