Interpenetrating Phase Composites (IPC) belong to a special category of composite materials, offering great potential in terms of material properties due to the continuous volume structure of both composite components. While manufacturing of metal-ceramic IPC via existing casting and infiltration processes leads to structural deficits, semi-solid forming represents a promising technology for producing IPC components without such defects. Thereby, a solid open pore body made of ceramic is infiltrated with a metallic material in the semi-solid state. Good structural characteristics of the microstructure as the integrity of the open-pore bodies after infiltration and an almost none residual porosity within the composites have already been proven for this manufacturing route within a certain process window. On this basis, the following paper focuses on the mechanical properties such as bending strength of metal-ceramic IPC produced by using semi-solid forming technology. Thereby, the impact of the significant process parameters on these properties is analysed within a suitable process window. Furthermore, a fractographic analysis is carried out by observing and interpreting the fracture behaviour during these tests and the fracture surface thereafter.

The damage process and failure mechanisms were analyzed by a series of quasi-static compressive experiments of seven materials including pure epoxy (EP), three different PPI (pores per linear inch) foam nickel-iron, and three different PPI foam nickel/iron-epoxy interpenetrating phase composites (IPC). Plotting the stress–strain curves of different materials, their change rules are discussed, then the effective elastic modulus and yield limit of the materials are provided, and the energy absorption properties of different materials are analyzed by the stress–strain curves. It was found that the effective elastic modulus and specific stiffness of the three IPC materials were higher than pure foam nickel-iron. The brittleness of epoxy can be obviously changed by selecting a suitable PPI foam nickel-iron composited with it. The unit volume energy absorption rate of foam nickel/iron-epoxy was significantly higher than pure epoxy and pure foam nickel-iron. It was also found that the energy absorption rate decreased with the increase in PPI. The stress relaxation rate decreased first and then increased with the increase in PPI. The creep behavior of the three composites was obvious in the creep elastic stage, and the creep rate increased with the increase in PPI. The creep rate decreased with the increase in PPI in the creep transition stage.
