Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a rock bit button (1) of cemented carbide for percussive or rotary crushing rock drilling. The button (1) is provided with a layer of diamond (3) produced at high pressure and high temperature in the diamond stable area. The cemented carbide has a multi-phase structure having a core that contains eta-phase surrounded by a surface zone of cemented carbide free of eta-phase.
