    - A composite material composed of metallic materials and ceramic materials is called as cermet.

    - Tic – base cermet is used as an substitute for Wc – Co alloy cutting tools.

    - ThO2 – W and ThO2 – Mo cermets are used cathode in magnetron valves.

    - Oxide based cermets are used as high temperature strength materials as flame holders in jet propulsion devices.

    - Ti – ZrO2 cermets are used as rods in nuclear applications.
