Abstract
The desired macroscopic properties of functionally graded components depend (1) directly on the local composition function P(c) and (2) indirectly, because important microstructural parameters (porosity grain size) that develop during processing are also strong functions of the local composition. These complex relationships are discussed for the case of functionally graded material (FGM) fabrication by powder compaction and sintering. The conclusion is that the real making of high quality graded components may be much more difficult than calculating an optimal composition profile P(x).
