The present invention provides a drawing machine and a game apparatus using the same by which it is easier to give the participants of the drawing an impression like drawing is carried out fairly when the computer drawing in which a winning-probability of each of drawing-objects is changed is carried out. A drawing machine for determining a winning-object from a plurality of drawing-objects includes: a winning-probability data storage unit for storing winning-probability data showing respective winning-probabilities of the plurality of drawing-objects; a drawing unit for carrying out a drawing in accordance with the winning-probability of each of the drawing-objects determined by the winning-probability data stored in the winning-probability data storage unit and determining a winning-object from the plurality of drawing-objects; a winning-probability data changing unit for changing the winning-probability data stored in the winning-probability data storage unit; a winning-probability image displaying unit for displaying a winning-probability image showing the winning-probability of each of the drawing-objects determined by the winning-probability data stored in the winning-probability data storage unit; and a winning-probability displaying control unit for changing the winning-probability image displayed on the winning-probability image displaying unit, when the winning-probability data changing unit changes the winning-probability data, so as to correspond to the changed winning-probability data.

A TiCN-based cermet comprises 5-25 weight % of a binder phase mainly composed of Co and/or Ni, the balance being substantially a hard phase and inevitable impurities, the hard phase being mainly composed of carbide, nitride and/or carbonitride and containing at least Ti and W, the cermet having a cross-section microstructure in which the number of Ti-rich particles having an area of 0.02 &mgr;m or more is 1000 or less per a unit area of 1000 &mgr;m .

TiCN-based cermet

This invention provides a cermet alloy having a structure comprising a hard phase and a bonding phase, wherein the hard phase comprising carbide particles rich An TiC, those rich in WC and (Ti, W, MO)C or (Ti, W, Mo)(C, N) and the bonding phase comprising at least one of Co and Ni. Mo contents in the bonding phase satisfies the conditions: 1.0.ltoreq.Mo (wt %)/Ti (wt %) and 6 (wt %).ltoreq.Ti+Mo. The cermet alloy has superior hardness and toughness as well as improved heat resistance and is applicable as a material for a wet machining tool.

Cermet alloy

There can be provided a TiC-base cermet alloy whose hardness is equal to or higher than that of a Ti(C, N)-base cermet alloy and which is excellent in toughness by strengtening the binder phase of the TiC-Base cermet alloy which does not involve the problem of denifrification at the time of sintering. The titanium-carbide-base cermet alloy comprises a hard phase which contains titanium carbide as a main component and a binder phase which contains one or both of Co and Ni as main components, wherein amounts of Ti and Mo in the binder phase satisfy the conditions, by weight T: 0.85.ltoreq.Mo (wt. %)/Ti (wt. %), and 6 wt. %.ltoreq.[Ti +Mo].
