Plasma surface engineering is a very promising way to enhance performance of metal cutting tools. The advantage of PVD coatings include increase the tool life, improve the roughness of machined surfaces, increase the cutting speed, etc. This paper studied some new multiphase materials and multilayer structures of coatings based on TiN and TiC, ZrN, (Ti,Al)N,Al-Si-N. The change of contact conditions on cutting by coated tools, specific features of wear of tools with complicated geometry (like drills), effect of cutting conditions and workpiece materials on tribological behavior of indexable inserts during lathe turning and plain rotary were discussed.
