Cover Story: In both metal matrix composites (MMCs) and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), a ceramic phase is added as a reinforcement to a metallic or ceramic base material, whereas in cermets, in most cases, the metallic phase functions as a binder to improve toughness alongside ceramic-like properties. Ceramic materials, in general, possess high-temperature resistance and hardness, while metals can deform plastically; therefore, a cermet design aims to achieve the combined optimum properties of both ceramics and metals. Because of these combined properties, cermet materials are used in various applications, including machining and cutting tools, extrusion dies, wear-resistant coatings, and high-temperature applications.
