&nbsp;&nbsp;In this paper, we describe an experimental study of pulsed current sintered binderless tungsten carbide hard metal. The binderless tungsten carbide is expected to be a highly precious mold material used under high temperature and harsh conditions.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp; Low temperature and rapid sintering are achieved by the pulsed current sintering method. The developed material has more than 99% of relative density and Rockwell hardness of 96.5[HR30N] without applying hot isostatic press. Due to its rapid sintering, the material has fine microstructure and fine surface roughness. The polished surface roughness (Ra) is less than 3 nm.<br>
