Abstract
A hard sintered body for a tool contains 25 to 47 vol. % of cBN, 40 to 70 vol. % and especially less than 45 vol. % in total of a carbo-nitride, and a boride of Ti, and 2 to 20 vol. % in total of a boride and a nitride of Al. In the carbo-nitride of Ti, the ratio of carbon to nitrogen is in the range of 60:40 to 30:70. In this hard sintered body, cBN particles are bonded to each other through binder phases. The obtained hard sintered body for a tool is excellent in wear resistance and chipping resistance for high-speed cutting of hardened steel.
