Abstract

A hard sintered body for tools is obtained by sintering under a superhigh pressure, a sinter powder mixture containing at least 20 percent by volume and not more than 70 percent by volume of cubic boron nitride powder and having a remainder formed of a binder powder mixture. The binder contains at least 2 percent by weight and not more than 20 percent by weight of Al and at least 2 percent by weight and not more than 20 percent by weight of W, and has a remainder formed of a Ti compound or compounds. The atomic ratio of Ti contained in the binder to a transition metal element or elements belonging to any of the groups IVa, Va and/or VIa of the periodic table including Ti is at least 2/3 and not more than 97/100. In the structure of the sintered body, cubic boron nitride crystals are bonded with each other through bonding phases formed by the binder. For forming the sintered body, at least one or more Ti compounds are selected from a group of TiN.sub.z, Ti(C,N).sub.z, TiC.sub.z, (Ti,M)N.sub.z, (Ti, M) (C,N).sub.z and (Ti,M)C.sub.z, wherein M represents a transition metal element or elements belonging to any one of the groups IVa, Va and/or VIa of the periodic table excluding Ti, and…
