Description:
Purpose of this article is the evaluation of the influence of sintering parameters on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of pressureless sintered metal matrix composites consisting of metastable 16Cr7Mn7Ni-steel with 0 or 5 vol.% magnesia partially stabilized zirconia (Mg-PSZ) particles. The materials were prepared from powder raw materials via extrusion at ambient temperature. Three different temperatures between 1280 °C and 1380 °C and two varying dwell times of 40 min and 120 min at maximum temperature were applied. Both, tensile and compression tests are conducted at quasi-static strain rates for comparison of strength level, deformability and energy absorption capability. The results are discussed with regard to the porosity of the specimens, the interface between steel and ceramic, the TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP)-effect occurrence and the failure behavior.
