At least one of the components forms a hard phase and at least one of the other components forms another matrix different from the first matrix, the first matrix being disposed at least in the region of the first surface () and the other matrix being disposed at least in the region of the second surface (), whilst the hard phase is dispersed through both the first and the other matrix.
