In the video, the blade goes into the metal
And from the text, once it is inside the metal - that's when it blunts the blade. So it seems to be soft under pressure, so probably wouldn't be able to saw. It's most likely flop apart.
For a lock, how thick would it have to be to protect the lock mechanism? Would you actually benefit weight-wise?

It blunts because the ceramic spheres are in two layers just below either surface
I doubt we’ll see it used in locks because it’s really, really expensive to make.
More likely it’ll be used for armour; foamed metals without ceramics are already pretty good against bullets.
