The present invention relates to a TiAlBSiN
coating deposited on the surface of a substrate (1), wherein the
coating (100) comprises three different
coating portions along its coating thickness: a first portion (5), a second portion (10), and a third portion (50), the first portion (5) being deposited closer to the surface of the substrate (1) than the second and third portions, the second portion (10) being deposited directly on the outermost surface of the first portion (5), and the third portion (50) being deposited directly on the outermost surface of the second portion (10). The first portion (5) is formed from one or more
layers, in either case formed by at least one
adhesive layer, the first portion (5) exhibits either a completely cubic crystalline phase or a mixture of crystalline phases including a cubic crystalline phase and a hexagonal wurtzite phase of the
crystal, and if it is a mixture of crystalline phases, it mainly exhibits a cubic phase, and at least one
adhesive layer contains
titanium and
nitrogen; and The second portion (10) is formed from one or more
layers, in either case formed by at least one support layer, the second portion (10) shows either a completely crystalline hexagonal wurtzite phase or a mixture of crystalline phases including a crystalline cubic phase and a crystalline hexagonal wurtzite phase, and in the case of a mixture of crystalline phases, it shows mainly a wurtzite phase, and the at least one support layer contains
titanium, aluminum,
nitrogen, and at least one
chemical element selected from
boron and
silicon; and The third portion (50) is formed from one or more
layers, in either case being formed from at least one functional layer, the third portion (50) exhibiting either a completely crystalline cubic phase or a mixture of crystalline phases including a crystalline cubic phase and a crystalline hexagonal wurtzite phase, the mixture of crystalline phases exhibiting primarily a cubic phase, and at least one functional layer containing
titanium,
silicon, and
nitrogen.
