Ceramic Processing for TRIP‐Steel/Mg‐PSZ Composite Materials for Mechanical Applications

Abstract

Abstract Composite materials are up‐to‐date products in a growing range of applications and markets. Due to the advantageous combination of two or more materials new generations of materials can be generated. Closely linked to expanding variations of material combinations are increasing numbers of manufacturing techniques. The combination of ductile metals with hard and brittle ceramics offers a range of applications in the field of crash‐absorber and structural products with high mechanical load. This paper deals with the challenges of powder metallurgical processing of TRIP‐steel/Mg‐PSZ composite materials. The presented results are a contribution to improvements in plastic processing especially for lightweight honeycomb structures.
