Metallic Functionally Graded Materials: A Specific Class of Advanced Composites

Application of FMEA in the Quality Estimation of Metal Matrix Composite Castings Produced by Squeeze Infiltration

“…Determining reasons and consequences of failures. Establishing the causes of failures in the analysed product was discussed in the works of [1,8,[14][15], using e.g. the Pareto and Ishikawa analysis.…”

Centrifugal Infiltration of Porous Ceramic Preforms by the Liquid Al Alloy – Theoretical Background and Experimental Verification

“…The rotary motion of the mould generates density field of the centrifugal force that affects liquid metal. In simplified single-dimensional model, the centrifugal force direction is in compliance with the mould rotation direction and its value depends on angular velocity ω and distance x from the axis of mould rotation (1). (1) where: ρ-density, ω-angular velocity, x-distance from the axis of mould rotation.…”

“…For several years the studies conducted in area of metal composites are focused on design and production of new products with inhomogeneity structure and heterogeneous properties, such as functionally graded materials [1,2] and locally reinforced materials [3][4][5][6][7]. It allows on better adaptation of the products properties to their specific working conditions.…”

Laminated Composite with 3D-network Graded Microstructure from TiB2-based Ceramic to 42CrMo alloy Steel

“…At present, a series of new technologies, such as spark plasma sintering, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma spraying (PS), laser cladding (LC), electric beam surface cladding (EBSC), electric beam welding (EBW) and so on, have developed to prepare ceramic-metal FGMs bulk, coating and joint, and the processing of FGMs coating in the industrial scale has reached a considerable level of maturity [2], however, because of the limits by powder forming process and heavy precision equipment, the routes of large-scale FGMs bulks and joints are still at the developing stage [3]. Hence, that actively develops a series of low-energy-consumption, low-cost and rapid-production-flow routes along with the novel processing assisted with external-field (i. e. gravitational, centrifugal, thermal, magnetic, electrical, electro-magnetic, ultrasonic and others) for preparing FGMs bulks have become an important issue of FGMs development in the world.…”
