Many materials show a different elastic or plastic behavior if tested on large or on small
samples. Such size effects can be ascribed to internal length scales related to the …

This review concerns a new class of advanced materials, known as structural and functional
gradient materials (FGMs), characterized by compositional and/or microstructural gradation …

Gradient nano-grained (GNG) materials, inside which grain size increases gradually from
nano-scale in the surface to micro-scale in the substrate, have shown synergetic strength …

Functional grading has recently seen renewed interest with the advancement of additive
manufacturing. Unfortunately, the integrity of functional gradients in alloys tends to be …

Subjecting a workpiece to a surface treatment with severe impact loading is a novel severe
plastic deformation procedure to fabricate gradient microstructures through the thickness …

Gradient nano-grained (GNG) materials have shown synergetic high strength and ductility
due to their unique gradient microstructure, where the grain size changes from tens of …

Optimizing the casting parameters of Ti-55531 is crucial in large aircraft castings. The
thermodynamics parameters were simulated using the ProCAST software, and the …

This paper provides a definition and classification of functionally graded materials (FGM).
FGM manufacturing processes based on the modification of existing techniques like powder …

In this work, a 316L stainless steel to Inconel 625 functionally graded material (FGM) was
built using different deposition strategies (named as direct and smooth-type interfaces) by …

In this paper, Al 2 O 3 functional gradient structures (FGS) were prepared by digital light
processing-based 3D printing, and Al 2 O 3/Al interpenetrated FGS was subsequently …
