Intermetallic Composites (IMC)

Intermetallic composites (IMC) are unique materials. They combine electrically insulating and electrically conductive materials to form a ceramic that can be heated to extreme temperatures using electrical resistance.

Use IMC components when you need materials that can be superheated by electrical resistance and still resist molten metal and corrosion.

Kennametal is a leading producer of IMC components. We manufacture eight resistivity levels of IMC to meet any resistance requirement.
