Abstract
A method for manufacturing a sintered body having one or more hard constituents in a metallic binder phase, the method including the steps of forming a green body from a powder composition including at least the one or more hard constituents, the metallic binder phase, and an organic binder system, forming a pattern in a surface of the green body such as to provide a tag enabling individual identification of the green body, and sintering the green body with the tag to form a sintered body having a smaller volume than the green body. The pattern is formed such that the tag is readable after the sintering operation.

A method for manufacturing a sintered body having one or more hard constituents in a metallic binder phase, the method comprising:
- forming a green body from a powder composition including at least the one or more hard constituents, the metallic binder phase, and an organic binder system;
- forming a pattern in a surface of the green body such as to provide a tag enabling individual identification of the green body;
- and
- sintering the green body with the tag to form a sintered body having a smaller volume than the green body, wherein the pattern is formed such that the tag is readable after the sintering operation.
A green body for forming a sintered body comprising one or more hard constituents in a metallic binder phase, wherein the green body is formed from a powder composition comprising at least the one or more hard constituents, the metallic binder phase, and an organic binder system, wherein a surface of the green body is provided with a pattern forming a tag arranged to provide individual identification of the green body.
