According to the present invention there is now provided a sintered body of titanium based carbonitride alloy containing hard constituents based on, in addition to titanium, one or more of the metals Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo or W in 5 - 30 % binder phase based on cobalt and/or nickel. The body according to the invention has a binder phase enriched surface zone with higher binder phase content than in the inner portion in combination with an enrichment of simple hard constituents i.e. the share of grains with core-rim structure is lower in the surface zone than in the inner of the body. <IMAGE> |
