Abstract
One or more metal salts of at least one iron group metal containing organic groups are dissolved in at least one polar solvent and complex bound with at least one complex former comprising functional groups in the form of OH or NR , (R═H or alkyl). In addition, at least one insoluble, reducible salt of at least one iron group metal is suspended in the solution. Hard constituent powder and, optionally, a soluble carbon source are added to the solution. The solvent is evaporated and the powder mass is heat treated in inert and/or reducing atmosphere. As a result, a powder mixture is obtained which, after addition of a pressing agent, can be compacted and sintered according to standard practice to form a body containing hard constituents in a binder phase.
