This work focuses on the properties of multilayer nanostructured wear-resistant coatings for cutting tools. It provides an extensive overview of modern methods and approaches to creating wear-resistant coatings for cutting tools. The authors present a wealth of experimental data and offer generalized theories, useful not only in the development of metal-cutting tools with coatings, but also in the creation of nanostructured materials for various applications.

• Discusses the development and operation of nanostructured coatings operating under conditions of high temperatures, pressures and chemical effects
• Includes studies of coating properties during cutting using modern methods (transmission and scanning electron microscopy)
• Presents mathematical models that describe the process of coating deposition and the cutting process as stochastic processes, for the modeling of which it is necessary to use methods of probability theory

This book is intended for engineering and technical workers, as well as graduate students involved in the development of, research on and practical application of methods for applying wear-resistant coatings.
