First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A cemented carbide composed of a first hard phase, a second hard phase and a binder phase, wherein the first hard phase is composed of tungsten carbide particles, the second hard phase is composed of at least one first compound selected from the group consisting of TiNbC, TiNbN and TiNbCN, the second hard phase has an average particle diameter of no more than 0.1 μm, the second hard phase has a dispersity of no more than 0.7, the second hard phase has a content of no less than 0.1 vol % and no more than 15 vol %, the binder phase contains at least one first element selected from the group consisting of iron, cobalt and nickel, and the binder phase has a content of no less than 0.1 vol % and no more than 20 vol %. 2. The cemented carbide according to claim 1 , wherein, in a 24.9 μm×18.8 μm rectangular measurement visual field set in an image, resulting from a binarization treatment of a backscattered electron image that is obtained by capturing a cross section of the cemented carbide with a scanning electron microscope, the number of the second hard phases is no less than 30. 3. The cemented carbide according to claim 1 , wherein the second hard phase has an average particle diameter of no less than 0.01 μm and no more than 0.08 μm. 4. The cemented carbide according to claim 1 , wherein the second hard phase has a dispersity of no more than 0.4. 5. The cemented carbide according to claim 1 , wherein the dispersity is a standard deviation of an area of each Voronoi cell in a Voronoi diagram that is obtained by performing a Voronoi partition with a center of gravity of the second hard phase as a generator, and the Voronoi diagram is obtained by extracting the second hard phases in a backscattered electron image obtained by capturing a cross section of the cemented carbide with a scanning electron microscope, setting a 24.9 μm×18.8 μm rectangular measurement visual field in an image resulting from a binarization treatment of the backscattered electron image, performing Voronoi partitions with centers of gravity of the extracted second hard phases as generators and calculating Voronoi cells of all of the generators. 6. A cemented carbide composed of a first hard phase, a third hard phase and a binder phase, wherein the first hard phase is composed of tungsten carbide particles, the third hard phase is composed of at least one second compound selected from the group consisting of TiTaC, TiTaN and TiTaCN, the third hard phase has an average particle diameter of no more than 0.1 μm, the third hard phase has a dispersity of no more than 0.7, the third hard phase has a content of no less than 0.1 vol % and no more than 15 vol %, the binder phase contains at least one first element selected from the group consisting of iron, cobalt and nickel, and the binder phase has a content of no less than 0.1 vol % and no more than 20 vol %. 7. A tool comprising the cemented carbide according to claim 1 . 8. A tool comprising the cemented carbide according to claim 6 .
