Abstract
A cemented carbide consists of: a first phase consisting of a plurality of tungsten carbide grains; and a second phase including cobalt, an average value of equivalent circle diameters of the tungsten carbide grains is 0.5 μm to 1.2 μm, on number basis, the tungsten carbide grains include less than or equal to 13% of first tungsten carbide grains each having an equivalent circle diameter of less than or equal to 0.3 μm, on number basis, the tungsten carbide grains include less than or equal to 12% of second tungsten carbide grains each having an equivalent circle diameter of more than 1.3 μm, in a histogram indicating a distribution of the equivalent circle diameters of the tungsten carbide grains. Fmax/Fmin is less than or equal to 7.0, Fmax/Fmin being a ratio of a maximum frequency Fmax to a minimum frequency Fmin.
