A rock drill insert has a body of cemented carbide including hard constituents of WC in a binder phase including cobalt. The cemented carbide includes 4-18 wt % Co and Cr such that the Cr/Co mass ratio in the bulk of the body is 0.04-0.19, and a balance of WC and any unavoidable impurities. The content of the binder phase of the cemented carbide is substantially equal throughout the rock drill insert. The insert has a corrected CoM/wt % Co ratio between 0.70-0.81 and the insert is substantially free of eta-phase, wherein the 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.
