Abstract
Cermets are materials with ceramic and metallic constituents, developed to combine the beneficial characteristics of both constituents, for example, the hardness of ceramics and the toughness of metals. The major high temperature applications of cermets include cemented carbides for cutting tools and high temperature wear resistant coatings. Cermets are not normally considered for structural applications because the strength of the metal/ceramic bond is inadequate.
