Introduction to Functionally Graded Materials

This book presents the concept of functionally graded materials as well as their use and different fabrication processes.

Manufacturing Techniques

The authors describe the use of additive manufacturing technology for the production of very complex parts directly from the three-dimensional computer-aided design of the part by adding material layer after layer.

Case Study

A case study is also presented in the book on the experimental analysis of functionally graded material using laser metal deposition process.
