Process for preparing WC cemented carbide

A process for preparing a WC cemented carbide, which comprises the steps of mixing W powders and C powders at a ratio of 1:1, compacting a raw material mixed powders to obtain a formed body, embedding the formed body into a powder mixture capable of performing combustion synthesis, powerfully heating the powder mixture at a part to ignite the part and perform combustion synthesis, inducing a reaction represented by W+C→WC according to heat of formation released during combustion synthesis, and subjecting the reaction to combustion synthesis to convert a whole of the formed body into sintered WC.
