Hard layer-coated tool
First Claim
1. A tool coated with a hard layer made of any of a nitride, a carbonitride, an oxynitride and an oxycarbonitride each of which contains Ti and B as metal elements;
- wherein said hard coating layer contains a boron nitride phase;
wherein the bonding energy of B and N is observed in an ESCA analysis of said hard coating layer; and
wherein the existence of c-BN and h-BN is observed in a Rarnan spectroscopy of said hard coating layer.

Abstract
A tool coated with a hard Ti/B layer having fine boron nitride particles dispersed therein, wherein the bonding energy of B and N is observed in an ESCA analysis of the hard coating layer; wherein peaks of c-BN and h-BN is detected in an Raman spectroscopy of the hard coating layer; wherein a ratio Q1/Q2 of a peak intensity Q1 of c-BN to a peak intensity Q2 of h-BN is 1.0 or more; wherein a half-value width Z of a (200) face in an X-ray diffraction of the hard coating layer is in a range of 0.3° to 0.6°; and wherein a ratio K/L of a face thickness K to a flank thickness L in the tool is 1.0 or more, whereby the hard coating layer has high hardness, high lubricating properties and excellent crater wear resistance, with chemical reactions with a work suppressed.
