CERMETS

Cermet is a Metal Matrix Composite which means it is a combination of a metal and a

ceramic or any organic material. It is formed by combining metal

and ceramic. Also known as ceramals.

I WILL DESCRIBE CERMETS

Cermets gain properties of metals and ceramics. They have a high melting point.

They are very sturdy. They can conduct electricity.

They have high temperature resistance. They have the ability to undergo plastic

deformation. It doesn't corrode easy.

 Generally, the metallic elements used for cermets are nickel, molybdenum,

and cobalt.

PLASTIC DEFORMATION??????

Plastic deformation is when a material deforms when a force is applied to it. These

changes are permanent.

This underwent plastic deformation.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR??????

It is being considered to be used for spaceship shielding because it can resist high velocity

attacks from micrometeoroids and space debris.

It is used for machines that undergo high temperature because it conducts electricity and

resists heat. It is used for things that cut stuff like saws and

other stuff because it doesn't corrode easy.
