A method is disclosed to solve the problem, and it has been shown that the carburizing treatment causes the binder phase to flow such that the η phase disappears from the surface and the Co content decreases at the surface and then increases. However, in the disclosed cemented carbide, the hardness of the surface is lowered and the wear resistance is poor, and the cemented carbide containing the η phase has no toughness, so that the above problem cannot be solved.)

[Effect of the Invention] As described in detail above, the cemented carbide for wear-resistant tools of the present invention is provided with wear resistance by forming a hard film on the surface, and the strength (toughness) of the cemented carbide by the hard film is improved. The decrease is compensated for by the toughened layer provided near the surface,
There is no decrease in toughness, but rather the toughness is improved as compared with the case of using only conventional cemented carbide. That is, the alloy of the present invention is provided with a layer enriched in an iron group metal binding phase such as Co near the alloy surface and by coating the alloy surface with at least one of TiC, TiN, TiCN, and Al 2 O 3 . It is possible to have high wear resistance without lowering the alloy strength, and it is possible to overcome the contradiction between the wear resistance and toughness of conventional cemented carbide, making it very useful as a cemented carbide for wear-resistant tools. It is valid.
