Abstract: Compositionally graded alloys, a subclass of functionally graded materials (FGMs), utilize localized variations in composition with a single metal part to achieve higher performance than traditional single material parts. ...

Abstract: Functionally graded materials (FGMs) exhibit spatial gradients in properties that can be exploited to satisfy multiple conflicting performance objectives in the same part. Compositionally graded alloys are a subclass of ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) has enabled the creation of a near infinite set of functionally graded materials (FGMs). One limitation on the manufacturability and usefulness of these materials is the presence of undesirable ...
