Abstract

A hard sintered compact for tools is a sintered compact obtained by super-high pressure sintering of 45-75% by vol. of cubic boron nitride powder and the remaining proportion of binder powder. The binder includes 5-25% by wt. of Al and the remaining proportion of at least one species of compounds represented by (Hf.sub.1-z M.sub.z) C, where M denotes elements of IVa, Va and VIa groups in a periodic table except for Hf, and 0.ltoreq.z.ltoreq.0.3 is satisfied. Because of this composition, improvements are made in strength, wear resistance and heat resisting property of the binder, and a hard sintered compact for tools having excellent strength and excellent wear resistance can be obtained.
