A ring molded article manufacturing method capable of reliably and efficiently producing a ring molded article in which dead metal regions are reduced, and a ring material used for producing the ring molded article, are provided. The present invention relates to the method for manufacturing a ring molded article having two convex portions which respectively protrude on both sides of the ring molded article in a direction of a center axis thereof and extend in a direction of a circumference of the ring molded article. In the manufacturing method, the ring material is placed inside two molds on which concave portions respectively corresponding to the convex portions are formed, in a condition in which the ring material is supported by a region on an outer peripheral side from an outer peripheral side corner in the concave portion of one of the two molds and a region on an inner peripheral side from an inner peripheral side corner in the concave portion of another of the two molds, the ring material is then forged so as to be pressed by the two molds in a direction of a center axis of the ring material, and the ring molded article is thus produced. In addition, the present invention relates to the ring material used for producing the ring molded article.

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a curved thin-walled intermetallic compound component by winding a mandrel with metal foil strips, which comprises the following steps: designing a prefabricated blank; preparing a support mandrel; determining thicknesses and layer numbers of foil strips; determining widths of the foil strips; establishing a laying process; pretreating surfaces of the foil strips; laying A foil and B foil; carrying out bulge forming on the prefabricated blank; carrying out diffusion reaction and densification treatment on a bulged component; and carrying out subsequent treatment of a thin-walled component. The present invention can solve the problems that impurities generated in the separation process of a support mould and a laminated foil prefabricated blank influence the final performance of a part, and a single homogeneous intermetallic compound component in thickness direction has poor plasticity and toughness at room temperature.

A cemented carbide includes a first hard phase and a binder phase. The first hard phase is composed of tungsten carbide grains. The binder phase includes cobalt and nickel as constituent elements. An arbitrary surface or arbitrary cross section of the cemented carbide has: a region R1 interposed between an interface between the tungsten carbide grains and the binder phase and an imaginary line A; a region R2 interposed between the imaginary line A and an imaginary line B; and a region R3 other than the region R1 and R2. When a line analysis is performed in a range including the region R1 and the region R3 adjacent to the region R1 with the region R2, a ratio C.sub.5/C.sub.20 of a maximum atomic concentration C.sub.5 at % of cobalt in the region R1 and a maximum atomic concentration C.sub.20 at % of cobalt in the region R3 is more than 1.
