cermet
Bonded material containing ceramics and metal, widely used in jet engines and nuclear reactors. Cermets behave much like metals but have the great heat resistance of ceramics. Tungsten carbide, titanium, zirconium bromide, and aluminium oxide are among the ceramics used; iron, cobalt, nickel, and chromium are among the metals.
