Cermets are ceramic-metal composite. One of the most common applications is cutting tools. They also can be used in application where high hardness with high toughness are required
Cermets are ceramic-metal composites. They are used as cutting tools for hardened steels. Cemented carbide is composed of extremly hard particles of a refractory carbide ceramic as WC or TiC embedded in a matrix of a metal such as Co or Ni
