A joining alloy of the invention is based on Co, Ni, or their alloy, and contains 1.0 to 2.3% by mass of C and 15.5 to 34.7% by mass of W. Using HIP, the joining alloy in the form of a casting or powders is integrated with a WC-Co or WC-Ni type cemented carbide via diffusion joining. Using HIP, it is also possible to obtain a composite material having an integral structure in which a cemented carbide and the joining alloy, and the joining alloy and steel are joined together via diffusion joining. The joining alloy may additionally contain up to 30% by mass of Fe, up to 3% by mass of Si and up to 3% by mass of Mn as well as up to 10% by mass of at least one selected from Cr, Mo, V, Nb, Ti, Zr, and Ta. It is thus possible to obtain a joining alloy having an improved joining strength without producing a brittle phase therein even upon joined to the WC-Co or WC-Ni type cemented carbide, and its composite material.
