| Abstract Scope |
Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) are in their early stages of evolution and expected to have a strong impact on the design and development of new components and structures with better performance. FGM exhibit gradual transitions in the microstructure and/or the composition in a specific direction, the presence of which lead to variation in the functional performance with in a part. Functionally graded metal matrix composites (FGMMC) are potential materials for various applications. Among the various fabrication routes available for FGMMC the ones based on solidification route are preferred because of their economics and capability to make large size products. The present paper describes the solidification processing techniques such as centrifugal casting, sequential casting, selective infiltration and laser melting for FGMMC. The paper describes in details the processing methodologies adopted for tailoring the microstructures and properties in metallic composites by above techniques, the products developed and the prospective areas of applications. |
