This paper reviews key properties, applications, and examples of ceramic−metal composites (cermets) and metal matrix composites (MMCs) with emphasis on their applicability as waste forms for immobilizing nuclear waste. While the literature is mature for vitrified and cementitious radioactive waste forms, cermet materials have not received adequate attention as potential candidates for immobilizing nuclear waste. To promulgate this effort, this review connects cermet and MMC design, such as hardened tools, with the chemistry of radioactive waste streams. This paper includes a discussion on certification and qualification standards for cermet waste forms, literature gaps, and "how-to" sections on cermet processing techniques. Key parameters discussed include thermal conductivity, chemical durability, and waste loading, as well as examples for metal-containing waste forms. As cermet waste forms gain momentum within the community, this review paper aims to ensure the end-of-life nuclear fuel cycle is addressed from a materials and waste disposition perspective.

“…However, adherent oxide development reduced wear loss with substantial strain hardening in all specimens. 31,32 Aluminum matrix reinforced with alumina-carbon in equal proportion shows good strength due to interfacial bonding. 33 Adding aluminum oxide and titanium oxide as a reinforcement produces a composite with high strength and low density which is suitable for aviation applications.…”

This study investigates the microstructure and mechanical characteristics of Al6351-based hybrid metal matrix composites reinforced with Graphite and Tungsten carbide(WC) (0.5-0.5, 1.0-1.0, 1.5-1.5, and 2.0-2.0 wt%). The liquid metallurgy route method was used to prepare the hybrid composites, and the microstructure and material performance were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, impact, hardness, and tensile testing. According to the findings, incorporating graphite and tungsten carbide into the composite led to enhancements in both microstructure and mechanical properties. The sample reinforced with 1 wt% Gr and 1 wt% TiC carbide demonstrated the highest tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. The highest recorded value of Engg. UTS and Rockwell hardness were 199.2 N/mm2 and 76 HRC, respectively. On the other hand, the composite that contained 0.5 wt% graphite and 0.5 wt% tungsten carbide of both reinforcements exhibited the best toughness as 28 joules, among all the samples that were produced. The lowest density was observed with 2 wt% Gr and 2 wt% TiC of each reinforcement as 2.62 g/cc. A uniform dispersion of reinforcement particles was observed. The findings of this study suggest potential applications of hybrid MMCs reinforced with graphite and tungsten carbide in the aerospace and automotive industries.
