“…In the cermets, the ceramic phases used are generally titanium, carbonitrides, molybdenum, oxides, tungsten, tantalum, nitrides, etc., and metallic binders used are the nickel, molybdenum, cobalt alloys, etc. [19,20]. Some of the cermet materials including tungsten carbide-chromium carbide -nickel, chromium carbidenickel chrome, nickel chrome-titanium diboride, tungsten carbide-nickel, nickel chrome boron silicium-titanium diboride, tungsten carbide-chromium carbide, tungsten carbide-cobalt-chromium, and tungsten carbide-cobalt have proven their excellent coating properties on metal substrates deposited through the thermal spraying routes [21,22].…”
