Abstract
A sintered cermet of a rotary tool has a hard phase with a first hard phase and a second hard phase comprising a carbide, a nitride, and a carbonitride of at least one of group 4, 5, and 6 metals of the periodic table of which metals the metal titanium is a main component. The result of an X-ray diffraction measurement in a surface region of the sintered cermet provides a first peak intensity Ib on a high angle side that is attributable to a (220) plane of the first hard phase and a second peak intensity Ia on a low-angle side that is attributable to a (220) plane of the second hard phase, and an intensity ratio Ib/Ia of the first peak intensity Ib to the second peak intensity Ia is in the range of 0.5 to 1.5.
