Ceramics and cermets. Ceramics and cermets
can be used in applications where low wear rate is more
critical than low friction. These composites can be used at
temperatures up to 1000°C (1832°F). Cermets have a
distinct advantage over ceramics in terms of toughness and
ductility. However, the metal content tends to reduce the
maximum temperature limit. Solid lubricant use with bulk
ceramics is limited to insertion in machined holes or
recesses.
