Abstract: The advancement of high-speed and high-precision machining has led to a growing demand for cutting tools. Surface hard coatings substantially enhance the wear resistance and overall lifespan of cutting tools, thereby playing a pivotal role in the development of high-performance tools. This paper first introduces the significance of surface hard coatings in cutting operations, then reviews the research status of common hard coatings such as nitride, boride, and oxide, along with associated physical vapor deposition techniques. Finally, an analysis is conducted to identify the prevailing research and application challenges encountered in physical vapor deposition tool coatings.

Key words: cutting tools, hard coatings, physical vapor deposition, multicomponent coatings, nanostructured coatings
