Abstract Scope |
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) show promise in solving a number of design challenges, but their fabrication has always been challenging. Advances in additive manufacturing (AM) have improved the ability to produce FGMs. One method in particular is the creation of mesostructural FGMs, where the FGM properties are graded by controlling the volume faction of each material component. In this study, mesostructural FGMs are produced by a hybrid AM and casting process. Metal-metal FGMs of PH17-4 stainless steel and A356 aluminum and ceramic-metal FGMs of alumina and A356 aluminum are examined. The resistances of both FGMs to impact are compared to monolithic materials. Additionally, simulations of both FGMs undergoing impact are presented and compared to simulation results. |
