Etymology
Noun
cermet (plural cermets)
- A composite material composed of ceramic and metal materials, used in such applications as industrial saws and turbine blades.
- 2003, Stephen F. Krar, Arthur Gill, Exploring Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, page 3-2-14,
- The multi-component alloy cermets, made up of different hard materials and binder elements, have high wear-resistance qualities that result in long tool life.
- 2009, Edmund Isakov, Cutting Data for Turning of Steel[1], page 114:
- Cutting performance of cermets was improved after development of titanium-molybdenum-carbon-nitrogen and titanium-tungsten-carbon-nitrogen compounds with binders containing nickel, molybdenum, cobalt, or a combination thereof (Ref 3, p.91).
