Examples

“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.”

“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).”

“Among various tribological materials, cermets are known for their excellent wear resistance under unlubricated conditions.”
