CB-5
Functionally graded materials embody continuous spatial variations in composition and microstructure purposely designed to tailor their mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical and biological response to the needs of the specific application.
Various approaches based on e.g. particulate processing, layer processing, energy beams, diffusion processes, additive manufacturing etc are used to obtain functionally graded materials providing them with passive, active and multifunctional capabilities suitable for a wide range of civil, industrial, automotive, energy, aerospace and medical applications.
This Session will discuss aspect related to design, processing and characterization of the wide range of FGMs including their performance, reliability and life cycle during use.
