Nano-scale Multi-layered Composite Coatings (Nano scale MLCC) offer potential benefits for cutting tool performance. Such coatings can be designed to improve tool durability and cutting efficiency by providing additional wear protection and improved heat dissipation. The Nano coatings can also be tailored to reduce friction, which can enhance productivity and reduce tool wear. The unique Nano-scale topography of MLCC helps to reduce the contact area between the cutting tool and the workpiece, thus reducing friction and heat. The coatings also include specific additive components that enhance the properties of the coating, such as corrosion resistance, lubricant retention, and improved thermal stability.This critical review explores the potential of Nano-scale multi-layered-composite coatings for improving the performance of cutting tools. The literature in this field is reviewed and discussed with respect to the performance benefits and challenges associated with the implementation of these nanotechnology coatings. The latest progress in nanofabrication, nanomaterials, and other technologies are discussed in relation to their ability to provide new and improved cutting tool applications. The review summarizes the current state of the art on Nano-scale multi-layered-composite coatings and their influence on cutting tool performance, with particular focus on machining productivity, tool life, cutting forces and wear rates. Recommendations are provided on which Nano-scale coatings may best fit the demands of particular machining operations, and on future research directions in this field. The review also discusses the challenges and future advancements of Nano-scale coatings and other methods for improving cutting tool performance. In conclusion, this review provides a comprehensive insight into the future potential of MLCC for cutting tool performance enhancement.
