Purpose: The goal of this work is the optimization of sintering process of the ceramic preforms based on Si3N4 and Al2O3-Ti(C,N) materials. The influence of pore forming additives on porosity, microstructures and compressive strength are investigated. The aim of this study is to obtain the nitrides and carbides base preforms material for the infiltration process of molten aluminium alloys. Design/methodology/approach: The method of obtaining the silicon nitride and oxide-carbonitride porous preform for the infitration process is the free sintering process. The preforms were produced by the mixing of ceramic powders with organic binders, drying and sintering. Porosity, density were measured for the materials. Microstructure observation was carried out using scanning microscope. The compressive strength of Si3N4 and Al2O3-Ti(C,N) porous preforms were investigated. Findings: For sintered porous Si3N4 preforms, influence of the porous forming additives on material porosity is observed. Compressive strengths of Si3N4 were in the range of 2.9-4.8 MPa. The highest value of the compressive strength was obtained for Al2O3-Ti(C,N) preform with 8 wt.% of tylose and 25 wt.% of glykol. For these materials compressive strength were in the range of 13.2 up to 14.3 MPa. In spite of lower value of the compressive strength for Si3N4 preforms, this material exhibits high shock thermal resistance. Practical implications: Pressureless infiltration of molten metals into ceramics is the most cost-effective approach to liquid-metal processing of MMCs. Metal matrix composites are applied widely in aircraft production technologies and defence technology. Originality/value: Infiltration of molten metals into porous ceramic preforms is the only technique suitable for the fabrication of high volume fraction of ceramic materials in MMCs. Infiltration process generates thermal stresses in the ceramics preforms. The thermal shock resistance of Al2O3 is lower than Si3N4 or Al2O3-Ti(C,N) materials. New kinds of porous materials were obtained.
