The present invention relates to a method of surface hardening a plurality of sintered bodies having a hard phase and a binder phase. The method includes the steps of placing the bodies in a container, and forming a system including the container and the bodies therein, and causing the bodies to move and collide with each other and with inside walls of the container. The container is vibrating utilizing a mechanical resonance frequency of the system.

Method of surface hardening sintered bodies by using vibrations

The present invention relates to a method of making a cemented carbide or a cermet body comprising the steps of first forming a powder blend comprising powders forming hard constituents and metal binder. The powder blend is then subjected to a mixing operation using a non-contact mixer wherein acoustic waves achieving resonance conditions to form a mixed powder blend and then subjecting said mixed powder blend to a pressing and sintering operation. The method makes it possible to maintain the grain size, the grain size distribution and the morphology of the WC grains.
