Ceramic–steel compound materials are used in a wide range of applications up to date. Major advantages are the mechanical properties due to the combination of brittle ceramic with tough steel. This study deals with effects of the sintering process on austenitic TRIP‐steel/Mg‐PSZ composite materials for mechanical load applications. Both, the FeCrNisteel and partially stabilized zirconia offer their special mechanical behavior only in a metastable state. The ability of phase transformation depends mainly on the chemical composition. Mutual interactions of the alloying metals (Cr, Ni, Mn, and Fe) and the ceramic stabilizer (MgO) during sintering may prevent the martensitic phase transformation. This may cause disadvantageous mechanical behavior on mechanical load in use.
