ROCK DRILL INSERT

A rock drill insert comprising a body of cemented carbide comprising hard constituents of WC in a binder phase comprising cobalt; wherein the cemented carbide comprises 4-18 wt% Co; Cr such that the Cr/Co mass ratio in the bulk of the body is 0.04 -0.19; a balance of WC and any unavoidable impurities; wherein content of the binder phase of the cemented carbide is substantially equal throughout the rock drill insert; characterized in that: said insert has a corrected CoM/wt% Co ratio between 0.70-0.81 and the insert is substantially free of eta-phase; wherein said corrected CoM/wt% Co ratio is calculated according to: Corrected CoM/wt% Co = (magnetic-% Co + 1.13 * wt% Cr) / wt% Co where magnetic-% Co is the weight percentage of magnetic Co and wt-% Co and wt-% Cr are the weight percentage of Co and Cr in the cemented carbide, respectively.
