Abstract
The new generation demands advanced materials that fulfills today’s commercial applications. Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are the modern, emerging materials that meet the current needs of our society. This chapter presents the classification of FGMs based on various domains. It also highlights the present status of various processing methods adopted to fabricate these FGMs and their characterizations. The possible areas of applications of FGMs are also briefed.
