Process of manufacturing cemented carbide and a product obtained thereof

A process of manufacturing a cemented carbide, said process comprising the steps of:

• a) forming a slurry including a milling liquid, binder metal and hard constituents, wherein said hard constituents include hex doped WC;
• b) subjecting said slurry to milling and drying to form a powder mixture;
• and
• c) subjecting the powder mixture to pressing and sintering, wherein the hex doped WC is subjected to nitrogen both by the addition of a transition metal nitride or transition metal carbonitride to said slurry and by subjecting the hex doped WC to nitrogen gas during sintering.
