A HIP method for manufacturing a component comprising at least one body of a cemented carbide and at least one body of a metal alloy or at least one body of a metal matrix composite, comprising the steps of: a) providing at least one body of a metal alloy or at least one body of a metal matrix composite and at least one body of a cemented carbide, wherein the bodies are in the form of a powder form or as a solid body; b) positioning a metallic interlayer between a surface of the at least one body of a metal alloy or a surface of the at least one body of a metal matrix composite and a surface of the at least one body of a cemented carbide or positioning a metallic interlayer on at least one surface of the at least one body of a metal alloy or of the at least one body of a metal matrix composite or of the at least one body of a cemented carbide, such that there are no areas where the at least one body of cemented carbide is in direct contact with the at least one metal body or the at least one metal matrix composite; c) enclosing a portion of the at least one body of a metal alloy or a portion of the at least one body of a metal matrix composite and the metallic interlayer and the least one body of a cemented carbide in a capsule or enclosing the at least one body of a metal alloy or the at least one body of a metal matrix composite and the metallic interlayer and the at least one body of a cemented carbide in a capsule; d) optionally evacuating air from the capsule; e) sealing the capsule; f) subjecting the unit comprised by the capsule, a portion of the at least one body of a metal alloy or a portion of the at least one body of a metal matrix composite and the metallic interlayer and the least one body of a cemented carbide or subjecting the unit comprised by the capsule, the at least one body of a metal alloy or the at least one body of a metal matrix composite and the metallic interlayer and the at least one body of a cemented carbide to a predetermined temperature of above1000°C and a predetermined pressure of from 300 bar to 1500 bar during a predetermined time of 30 minutes to 10 hours; wherein the metallic interlayer is formed by an alloy essentially consisting of copper and nickel, wherein the metallic interlayer may comprise apart from copper and nickel other elements, though only at impurity levels, i.e. less than 3 wt%. a) providing at least one body of a metal alloy or at least one body of a metal matrix composite and at least one body of a cemented carbide, wherein the bodies are in the form of a powder form or as a solid body; b) positioning a metallic interlayer between a surface of the at least one body of a metal alloy or a surface of the at least one body of a metal matrix composite and a surface of the at least one body of a cemented carbide or positioning a metallic interlayer on at least one surface of the at least one body of a metal alloy or of the at least one body of a metal matrix composite or of the at least one body of a cemented carbide, such that there are no areas where the at least one body of cemented carbide is in direct contact with the at least one metal body or the at least one metal matrix composite; c) enclosing a portion of the at least one body of a metal alloy or a portion of the at least one body of a metal matrix composite and the metallic interlayer and the least one body of a cemented carbide in a capsule or enclosing the at least one body of a metal alloy or the at least one body of a metal matrix composite and the metallic interlayer and the at least one body of a cemented carbide in a capsule; d) optionally evacuating air from the capsule; e) sealing the capsule; f) subjecting the unit comprised by the capsule, a portion of the at least one body of a metal alloy or a portion of the at least one body of a metal matrix composite and the metallic interlayer and the least one body of a cemented carbide or subjecting the unit comprised by the capsule, the at least one body of a metal alloy or the at least one body of a metal matrix composite and the metallic interlayer and the at least one body of a cemented carbide to a predetermined temperature of above1000°C and a predetermined pressure of from 300 bar to 1500 bar during a predetermined time of 30 minutes to 10 hours; wherein the metallic interlayer is formed by an alloy essentially consisting of copper and nickel, wherein the metallic interlayer may comprise apart from copper and nickel other elements, though only at impurity levels, i.e. less than 3 wt%.
