Abstract

The technology of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) enables the realization of innovative and multiple functions that cannot be achieved with conventional homogeneous materials. Predetermined chemical composition profiles (the spatial distribution of their components) as well as predetermined transitions in their microstructure, are intentionally introduced to perform desired functions. Therefore, in order to use FGMs in practical applications, it is important to characterize their properties.
