Abstract
AbstractA pure TRIP‐steel alloy and a novel zirconia reinforced TRIP‐steel matrix composite were implemented in a 2D square‐celled honeycomb structure fabricated by a paste extrusion method, respectively. In terms of a series of compression tests in out‐of‐plane loading direction the buckling and the pronounced strain hardening behavior of the honeycomb structures are described with regard to different material compositions and varied nominal strain rates. Both the compressive flow behavior and the microstructure evolution in the crushed zones are controlled by the rate of formation of strain‐induced martensite and the ceramic particle/steel matrix interactions. The insertion of magnesia partially‐stabilized zirconia (Mg‐PSZ) particles in the austenitic steel matrix cause an increased yield strength and higher compression stresses up to certain deformations degrees. The limited ductility of the composite materials is a consequence of the rearrangement and fracture of zirconia particles initiating cracks and shear bands during deformation. Consistently, the visible strain rate effects on the mechanical responses of the honeycomb structures are similar to AISI 304L austenitic stainless steel specimens in the form of compact rods. However, at high local strain rates generated in drop weight impact tests a micro‐inertia factor support the failure behavior of the cellular structures.
