Ceramic Transactions Functionally Gradient Materials

1 introduction functionally gradient material fgm is a novel concept for the realization of innovative properties and or functions that can not be achieved by con ventional homogeneous materials 2 in its simplest structure it consists of one material on one side a second material on the.

Ceramic transactions functionally gradient materials. It can be formed by varying chemical composition microstructure or design attributes. In materials science functionally graded materials fgms may be characterized by the variation in composition and structure gradually over volume resulting in corresponding changes in the properties of the material the materials can be designed for specific function and applications. Developed an extrusion method to control the fabricate caco 3 composite with a graded color. Functionally gradient materials fgm are innovative materials in which final properties varies gradually with dimensions.

The bending strength of the fgm al 2 o 3 tic composites was not much less than that of the. 1996 eisevier science limited and techna s r l.

In this paper selected results of works carried out by the authors and relating to the application of the developed metal ceramic composites were presented in order to manufacture functionally graded materials for target purposes.

The optimum material gradient of a rectangular plate made of functionally graded material fgm is determined in this study. It is the recent development in traditional composite materials which retains their strengths and eliminates their weaknesses. Various approaches based on the bulk particulate processing preform processing layer processing and melt. Components of various ceramic materials with predetermined material gradients have been reported in recent studies 16 17.

Functionally graded material fgm is a material with engineered gradients of composition structure and or specific properties aiming to become superior over homogeneous material composed of same. A green part with graded composition of alumina al 2 o 3 and zirconia zro 2 was also fabricated. Has been cited by the following article. Enables obtaining materials with composition and structure gradients having unprecedented properties.

A tape casting process was used to prepare various al 2 o 3 tic green tapes from which laminated and functionally gradient al 2 o 3 tic materials fgm al 2 o 3 tic were produced by cutting stacking and laminating the material removing the binder and hot pressing the green bodies.
