Abstract
A hard sintered component of a cemented carbide or a stellite alloy having a complex three-dimensional shape and a small hole or the like and the high strength originally provided by the used material for making the component without any secondary working, is formed by injection molding a compact molding die having an inner mold surface roughness R.sub.max of not more than 3 .mu.m. Where a core pin is used the outer surface of the pin has a surface roughness R.sub.max of not more than 3 .mu.m. The compact is then sintered. The hard sintered component is composed of a cemented carbide or a stellite alloy. In such a hard sintered component, the surface of a complex three-dimensional shape such as a disc portion or a thin portion, or the inner surface of a small hole, is defined by a sintered surface which has a surface roughness R.sub.max of not more than 4 .mu.m.
