Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE: A cutting insert is provided wherein the flank face has improved wear resistance and the rake face has improved impact resistance. CONSTITUTION: A cutting insert(10) that has a flank face and a rake face and a cutting edge(16) at the juncture thereof. The substrate(18) presents a bulk region(30) that contains a metallic binder, as well as one or more of Group IVB, Group VB, and Group VIB metal carbides and/or carbonitrides. The substrate further includes a flank surface region(32) near the flank face of the substrate that has a solid solution metal carbide and/or carbonitride content greater than that of the bulk region. The substrate includes a rake surface region near the rake face of the substrate with a solid solution metal carbide content that is less than that of the flank surface region.
