Based on considerable technological development and comprehensive work in process engineering, a method has been developed for short-time induction sintering of hardmetals which combines increased production throughput with savings in treatment time and improvement of the final product. The process is applicable to conventional WC–Co and WC–TiC–Co hardmetals and can be readily transferred to other cemented carbide systems. PM/0217
