Abstract In order to improve the strength and high-temperature properties of sintered iron, iron-ceramic composites have been studied. In the present investigation, iron powder with 0–8 vol % Al2O3 or SiC particles of different sizes were selected for the study. Powders were mixed, compacted and subsequently sintered at 1150°C under an endo gas atmosphere. Various properties of the sintered compacts, such as density and mechanical properties, were evaluated. Fractography, microstructural studies including EDAX, X-Ray image analysis were studied for selected specimens. It was established from the results that 4 vol % Al2O3 or SiC are optimum to obtain superior properties of the composites.
