A coated densified ceramic cutting tool comprising a substrate body having a granular phase consisting essentially of alpha silicon nitride and silicon aluminum oxynitride, said granular phase being uniformly distributed in a matrix of a suitable densification aid, said matrix including uniformly distributed submicron particles consisting essentially of titanium nitride, said silicon aluminum oxynitride and said titanium nitride being formed during densification of said tool by reaction of titanium oxide with a portion of said silicon nitride to form titanium nitride and silicon oxide, a layer of refractory material, and an interfacial layer intermediate said substrate and said layer of refractory material, said interfacial layer comprising a refractory metal chemically reacted to form a reaction bonded refractory metal nitride for enhancing the adherence of said layer of refractory metal material to said substrate.
