What does CERMET mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A composite material made of ceramic grains bonded with metal, hard like pottery yet tougher than it.
The name cermet is a blend of ceramic and metal, and the material is built to keep the best of both: the heat resistance and hardness of ceramic with the toughness of metal. Engineers use it for cutting tools, turbine parts and brake components, where plain metals would soften or plain ceramics would crack. It is made by pressing and heating powders together rather than by melting them.
