“…Manufacturing AM-FGMs through DED has spread to many metallic system in recent years. Among these DED-FGMs, gradients from steel-based alloys to nickel-based alloys, i.e., FGMs 316L SS-IN718 has attracted extensive attention for many applications in which superior strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperature is required, e.g., nuclear power generation and oil refineries [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. This FGMs system, however, still faces some major challenges before being used in those specific applications in which creep damage is dominated.…”
