Abstract
A method of making a coated tip for cutting purposes having a lower degree of flank and crater wear and reduced chipping. A WC-based ultrahard alloy containing WC, at least one nitride selected from among TiN, TaN and NbN and a bonding metal is heat treated at a temperature of 800.degree. C. to 1,300.degree. C. in a nitrogen atmosphere for a sufficiently long period of time to cause nitride in a layer in the vicinity of the surface of the alloy to move to the surface to form a layer of nitride thereon as well as an alloy layer of WC and the bonding metal in which the nitride has been reduced. The surface of the tip is then coated with a layer of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.
