Abstract: A cutting tool for metal material processing has a hard metal body and a multi-layer coating applied to the hard metal body in at least one surface area. The multi-layer coating includes the following, sequentially in direction from the hard metal body to the surface of the cutting tool: at least one layer TiCx1Ny1, where x1+y1=1, x1?0, y1>0; at least one layer TiCx2Ny2Oz2, where x2+y2+z2=1, 0?z2?0.03 and 0.5?x2?0.85; at least one layer TiN, or TiCx31Ny31, where 0.2?x31?0.8 and x31+y31=1, or TiNy32Bv32, where 0.0001?v32?0.05 and y32+v32=1; at least one layer: TiNy41Bv41Oz41, where y41+v41+z41=1 and 0.0001?v41?0.05 and 0.01?z41?0.6, or TiCx42Ny42Oz42, where x42+y42+z42=1 and 0?y42?0.5 and 0.01?z42?0.6; and at least one outer layer ?-Al2O3. The at least one layer TiCx2Ny2Oz2 has a texture in the direction having a texture coefficient TC(311)=1.3.

Abstract: A method for producing a coating of one or more layers on an extrusion die as a substrate body of a heat-resistant and/or long-term heat-resistant steel material by means of chemical vapour deposition (CVD), comprising the steps of: providing the substrate body from hot-work tool steel, which is intended for interacting with ductile extrusion metal, introducing a first reaction gas, comprising a metal, in particular titanium, into a reactor receiving the substrate body, to provide a coating metal, introducing a second reaction gas, comprising a carbon compound, into the reactor, to provide carbon for the coating, wherein the first and/or the second reaction gas or a further reaction gas provide(s) nitrogen for the coating, and carrying out a CVD coating process with the reaction gases.
