Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9802394A1] The present invention relates to a method of sintering cemented carbide bodies including heating said bodies to the sintering temperature in a suitable atmosphere and cooling. If said cooling at least to below 1200 DEG C is performed in a hydrogen atmosphere of pressure 0.4-0.9 bar and >0.1 bar noble gas, preferably argon cemented carbide bodies with no surface layer of binder phase are obtained. This is an advantage when said bodies are to be coated with wear resistant layers by the use of CVD-, MTCVD- or PVD-technique.
