COATED TOOL AND CUTTING TOOL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18574077 titled 'COATED TOOL AND CUTTING TOOL
The abstract of this patent application describes a coated tool with a unique structure and composition. The coating layer consists of crystals with a cubic structure, arranged in a striped pattern when observed under a transmission electron microscope. The striped structure comprises two layers containing Si and at least one metal element, with each layer containing crystals with a cubic structure. The lattice constants of the crystals in the two layers differ by a small percentage.

Original Abstract Submitted
A coated tool disclosure includes a base body and a coating layer. The coating layer includes crystals having a cubic structure. The coating layer has a striped structure in cross-sectional observation by a transmission electron microscope. The striped structure has two layers alternately located in a thickness direction. The two layers contain Si and at least one metal element. The two layers each contain crystals having the cubic structure. When a lattice constant of a crystal having the cubic structure in one layer of the two layers is referred to as a first lattice constant and a lattice constant of a crystal having a cubic structure in the other layer of the two layers is referred to as a second lattice constant, a difference between a magnitude of the first lattice constant and a magnitude of the second lattice constant is greater than 0% and 0.1% or less.
