Abstract: The tool has a clamping part (2) and a working part (11). It consists of a wear-resistant material, which contains tungsten carbide which has a grain size that lies in the range between approximately 0.2 and approximately 0.5 ?m. The clamping part (2) consists of a tough material, which likewise contains tungsten carbide which has a grain size in the range between approximately 0.8 and approximately 1.3 ?m. In a transitional region (11) between the working part (11) and the clamping part (2), the proportion of wear-resistant tungsten carbide decreases in the direction of the clamping part (2) to 0 and the proportion of tough tungsten carbide decreases in the direction of the working part (11) to 0. The mixing ratio between wear-resistant and tough tungsten carbide changes approximately steadily in the transitional region (10).
