1. Cermet
   A composite material consisting of a combination of ceramic and metallic materials.The most common cermets are the cemented carbides, composed of an extremely hard ceramic (e.g. WC, TiC), bonded together by a ductile metal such as cobalt or nickel.

4. cermet
   Bonded material containing ceramics and metal, widely used in jet engines and nuclear reactors. Cermets behave much like metals but have the great heat resistance of ceramics. Tungsten carbide, titanium, zirconium bromide, and aluminium oxide are among the ceramics used; iron, cobalt, nickel, and chromium are among the metals

5. Cermet
   A `cermet` is a composite material composed of ceramic (cer) and metallic (met) materials. A cermet is ideally designed to have the optimal properties of both a ceramic, such as high temperature resistance and hardness, and those of a metal, such as the ability to undergo plastic deformation. The me...
