摘要

The invention relates to a cermet body essentially free from nitrogen where the binder phase is Co in an amount of 5 to 25 vol% Co, further comprising TiC and WC in amounts so that the atomic Ti:W ratio is from 2.5 to 10. The cermet body further comprising Cr in an amount such that the atomic Cr:Co ratio is from 0.025 to 0.14. The cermet body is free from nucleated of Ti-W-C cores. The invention also relates to a method of making a cermet body.
