Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of producing a composite rod from a braze material and a sheet of material comprising cermet. The method comprises scoring a surface of the sheet to produce at least one line of localised stress and subsequently causing the sheet to break along the line or localised stress, thereby to produce a plurality of cermet chunks. The cermet chunks can be combined with the braze material to produce the composite rod. In a particular embodiment, the sheet of material may be a used cermet cutting tip.
