The present invention relates to a coated cutting tool including a Cr-containing cemented carbide substrate having WC, a binder phase and a gamma phase. The cemented carbide includes a gradient surface zone with a thickness of between 2 to 100 μm, which is binder phase enriched and depleted of gamma phase. The cemented carbide includes M.sub.7C.sub.3 carbides in an amount of between 0.5 to 7 area % measured in the bulk, where M is elements being Cr, W and at least one binder metal. The coated cutting inserts shows an improved edge line toughness.

A cemented carbide includes a first hard phase, a second hard phase, and a binder phase, wherein the first hard phase is composed of tungsten carbide grains, the second hard phase is composed of carbide grains including niobium or tantalum as a constituent element, the binder phase includes cobalt, nickel, and chromium as constituent elements, at least part of the carbide grains further include tungsten as a constituent element, and when a volume ratio of the second hard phase to the cemented carbide is represented by A volume % and a volume ratio of a total of a niobium element and a tantalum element to the cemented carbide is represented by B volume %, a ratio A/B of A to B is more than 1.2.

The present disclosure relates to a cutting tool including a cemented carbide substrate having WC, gamma phase and a binder phase. The substrate is provided with a binder phase enriched surface zone, which is depleted of gamma phase, wherein no graphite and no ETA phase is present in the microstructure and wherein the binder phase is a high entropy alloy.

A cutting insert according to an aspect includes a base portion and a cutting portion. The cutting portion includes an upper surface, a side surface, a ridge line including a first ridge line and a second ridge line, and an intersection point. The upper surface includes a top surface region and a rising surface region located between the top surface and the ridge line, and having a shape protruding toward the intersection point. In a top view, a first distance from the first ridge line to the rising surface increases as close to the intersection point, and a second distance from the second ridge line to the rising surface increases as close to the intersection point.

A cutting insert based on a non-limiting aspect has a first member and a second member joined to the first member. The second member has an upper surface and a side surface adjacent to the upper surface. The upper surface includes a first side, a second side and a corner. The upper surface has a first convex portion extending toward the corner, and a second convex portion extending from the first convex portion toward the first side. The second convex portion has a first end portion and a second end portion located closer to the corner than the first end portion. A first length from the first end to the first side is less than a second length from the second end portion to the first side in a top view.

Disclosed is an alloy drill. Components of the alloy drill are: 14-30 wt % of a binder phase being one or more of Co, Ni, Fe, and Cu; 0.32-9.7 wt % of an additive being one or more of TaC, MoC, Cr3C2, and MnC; and the remainder as a hard phase being WC. In the alloy drill, WC is used as the hard phase to improve its hardness and wear resistance, Cu, Ni, Fe, or Co as the binder phase can improve its anti-corrosion performance and anti-fatigue performance, and TaC, MoC, Cr3C2, or MnC as the additive can further improve its thermal stability and wear resistance. Thus, the alloy drill has superior wear resistance and impact toughness, and also possesses excellent anti-corrosion performance and anti-fatigue performance.

A cutting insert according to an aspect includes a base portion and a cutting portion. The cutting portion includes an upper surface, a side surface, a ridge line including a first ridge line and a second ridge line, and an intersection point. The upper surface includes a top surface region and a rising surface region located between the top surface and the ridge line, and having a shape protruding toward the intersection point. In a top view, a first distance from the first ridge line to the rising surface increases as close to the intersection point, and a second distance from the second ridge line to the rising surface increases as close to the intersection point.

An insert includes a first surface having a corner portion, a second surface, a third surface, and a cutting edge.
