“…Throughout a centrifugal casting, denser particles (SiC) move to the external surface of the graded composite, while lighter particles (pure Al) drop within the spinning axis. This is mostly due to the centrifugal force governing particle and molten metal mobility; the high density leads ceramic particles to push away from the rotating axis and form the particle-enriched outer region, and other investigations reported a similar observation of results [20,62]. Moreover, improved properties of the produced composites are primarily due to the extreme existence of particles at the outer region with a smoother distribution due to centrifugal force.…”

“…Centrifugal 2 of 25 casting is typically more desirable to FGM production because it produces pieces that are substantially larger than those generated by powder metallurgy [18,19]. Furthermore, centrifugal casting processes offer a continuous gradient and cost-effective approach for creating FGMs when compared to other techniques [20][21][22]. Among the various matrix materials available, aluminum alloys are widely used in the production of FGMs and have reached the industrial level of development [23,24].…”

In this study, an optimization approach was employed to determine the optimal main parameters that improve the performance of functionally graded composites manufactured using a combination of stirring and horizontal centrifugal casting. Pure aluminum reinforced with silicon carbide particles was used as the material for the composites. The effects of key input parameters such as mold speed, pouring temperature, stirring speed, and radial distance were optimized using a combination of grey relational analysis and response surface methodology. The statistical significance of the predicted grey relational grade model was assessed through an analysis of variance to identify the appropriate main parameters. The results showed that radial distance had the greatest impact on the performance of the composites, followed by pouring temperature. The optimal combination of main parameters was determined to be a mold speed of 1000 rpm, a pouring temperature of 750 °C, a stirring speed of 150 rpm, and a radial distance of 1 mm. Confirmation tests using these optimal values resulted in a 54.69% improvement in the grey relational grade.

“…Advancements in materials with increasing market demand for higher material characteristics put a brake on the use of pure metals, alloys, and conventional composites as they cannot achieve the necessary material properties for many applications. 1,2 Pure metals and alloys have homogeneous material properties, but homogeneous material properties are not sufficient in many applications. One of the most frequent failures of conventional composites is delamination under extreme thermal and mechanical loading due to sudden changes in materials property, 3 and for metal matrix composites, it is improper wetting between the matrix and reinforcements.…”

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are specially designed composite materials that gradually change their material properties. This distinctive property of materials comes with new challenges in the design and manufacturing sector. For such challenges, the best options are material property computation and material modelling using different computational materials science (CMS) algorithms. This review paper provides enriched information on CMS with an overview of the available FGM production techniques with a detailed study of FGM use in biomedical applications based on the available literature over the past couple of decades.

“…The properties of materials enhance with developments that occur day by day. Traditional materials available, such as metals, alloys, and composite materials, are suitable for specific applications (Fathi et al 2020;Saleh et al 2019). In the past, to develop these materials, homogeneous materials were manufactured, which were characterized by the optimum performance for most industrial applications (Saleh et al 2020).…”

Euler, Timoshenko and high shear deformation theories to analyze the free vibration of the functionally graded (FG) beam were developed. The mechanical properties of this beam were assumed to differ in thickness direction according to the model of a power-law distribution. The principle of Hamilton was used to find equations of motion. For free vibration, the analytical solution of these equations was presented using the Navier method. The effect of power index, aspect ratio, modulus ratio, and deformation theories on dimensionless frequency were studied numerically by Ansys software and analytically according to different beam theories using the Fortran program. The obtained results from these programs were compared with each other and with some previous research. Results showed an excellent agreement with the previous research. The numerical and analytical results showed that the use of this new FG beam model especially based on first and high shear deformation theories leads to the reduction of dimensionless frequency. It may be concluded that, the including of shear's effect leads to a decrease in the dimensionless frequency. From the modeling and analysis of this model, it is possible to know what is the appropriate design for this FG beam model to reduce the vibration.
