Abstract
Gradient and laminate materials are an emerging area with the potential to impact a wide range of technologies including structural materials, energy storage, and defense applications. However, fine control of gradients is a challenge for many material types. This work aims to demonstrate the capability to tune the properties of ceramic-metal composites (cermets) by using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to create compositional/microstructural gradients within the cermet part. Controlling the outcome of microstructural features and phase composition enables the tailoring of the final product for desired applications. B4C green body compacts comprised of tailored microstructures through EPD are then infused with Al during pressureless sintering.
