Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a carrier body for coating cutting tools for chip removal. The carrier body is adapted to be used during coating of cutting tool inserts in a CVD and/or a MTCVD method. The carrier body is at least partially comprised of a material selected from the MAX phase family, i.e. Mn+1AXn (n=1,2,3) wherein M is one or more metals selected from the groups IIIB, IVB, VB, VIB and VIII of the periodic table of elements and/or their mixture, A is one or more metals selected from the groups IIIA, IVA, VA and VIA of the periodic table of elements and/or their mixture, and wherein X is carbon and/or nitrogen.

Abstract: A coated sintered cemented carbide body includes a cemented carbide body, a first layer adjacent the cemented carbide body, the first layer including Ti(C,N) and having a thickness of from about 3 to about 20 &mgr;m, an alumina layer adjacent said first layer, the alumina layer including &agr;-Al2O3 or &kgr;-Al2O3 and having a thickness of from about 1 to about 15 &mgr;m, and a further layer adjacent the aluminum layer of a carbide, carbonitride or carboxynitride of one or more of Ti, Zr and Hf, the further layer having a thickness of from about 1 to 15 &mgr;m. A friction-reducing layer, including one or more of &ggr;-Al2O3, &kgr;-A12O3 and nanocrystalline Ti(C,N) and having a thickness of from about 1 to about 5 &mgr;m, can be adjacent to the further layer. A method to cut steel with a sintered cemented carbide body where the alumina is &agr;-Al2O3 and a method to cut cast iron with a sintered cemented carbide body where the alumina is &agr;-Al2O3.
