Abstract
The FGM concept is applicable to almost all material fields. Examples of a variety of real and potential applications in transport systems, energy conversion systems, cutting tools, machine parts, semiconductors, optics, and biosystems are described in this chapter. Potential applications include those structural and engineering uses that require combinations of incompatible functions such as refractoriness or hardness with toughness, or chemical inertness with toughness. In aerospace and nuclear energy applications, reliability rather than cost is the key issue. But in applications such as cutting tools, high temperature rollers, and engine components, which require wear, heat, mechanical shock, and corrosion resistance; the key issues are the cost/performance ratio and reliability.
