A hard sintered molding as claimed in claim 1, the hard material being tantalum carbide, tungsten carbide, niobium carbide, titanium nitride and/or zirconium nitride. 3. A hard sintered molding as claimed in claim 2, the hard material being tantalum carbide and/or tungsten carbide. 4. A process of producing the sintered molding defined in claim 1, which comprises providing a thermoplastic injection molding material which comprises a thermoplastic binder material, the austenitic iron alloy or a nitrogen-free precursor of the iron alloy in powder form, and a hard material in powder form, the thermoplastic injection molding material in a powder injection molding process to give a molded article, and removing the thermoplastic binder material to give a molding, and sintering the molding, and, if the thermoplastic injection molding material contained the nitrogen-free precursor of the iron alloy, which further comprises nitriding the iron alloy before, during or after sintering the molding. 5.
