  2. Cermet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cermet

    The first ceramic metal material developed used magnesium oxide (MgO), beryllium oxide (BeO), and aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3) for the ceramic part. Emphasis on high stress rupture strengths was around 980 °C. [4] Ohio State University was the first to develop Al 2 O 3 based cermets with high stress rupture strengths around 1200 °C.

  3. Ceramic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic

    Ceramic material is an inorganic, metallic oxide, nitride, or carbide material. Some elements, such as carbon or silicon, may be considered ceramics. Ceramic materials are brittle, hard, strong in compression, and weak in shearing and tension. They withstand the chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic ...

  4. Metal matrix composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_matrix_composite

    In materials science, a metal matrix composite (MMC) is a composite material with fibers or particles dispersed in a metallic matrix, such as copper, aluminum, or steel. The secondary phase is typically a ceramic (such as alumina or silicon carbide ) or another metal (such as steel [ 1 ] ).

  5. Ceramic matrix composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_matrix_composite

    Fracture surface of a fiber-reinforced ceramic composed of SiC fibers and SiC matrix. The fiber pull-out mechanism shown is the key to CMC properties. CMC shaft sleeves. In materials science ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a subgroup of composite materials and a subgroup of ceramics. They consist of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix.

  6. Cementite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementite

    It is a hard, brittle material, [4] normally classified as a ceramic in its pure form, and is a frequently found and important constituent in ferrous metallurgy. While cementite is present in most steels [ 5 ] and cast irons, it is produced as a raw material in the iron carbide process, which belongs to the family of alternative ironmaking ...

  8. Composite material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

    A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is a material which is produced from two or more constituent materials. [1] These constituent materials have notably dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual ...

  9. Ceramic engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_engineering

    The special character of ceramic materials gives rise to many applications in materials engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering. As ceramics are heat resistant, they can be used for many tasks for which materials like metal and polymers are unsuitable. Ceramic materials are used in a wide range of ...
