Abstract

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are classified as advanced materials, which are gradient in mechanical properties throughout the structure and specified according to their heterogeneous components/compositions. FGMs can be fabricated using a variety of well-established processing methods; however, it is also known that there is a huge scope and need of newer technologies. Emerging technologies like additive manufacturing provide a higher level of spatial resolution control and offer an interesting way to conquer the problems of existing methods. AM build each of the single or multiple layers by incorporating selective deposition, and as a result, provides precise control over composition and multiple structures at the micro-level; such excellent in process control, AM could be used to fabricate complex FGMs with multiple functions and directional gradient frameworks. In this chapter, we discuss and provide a brief overview of methods of fabrication and research progress of FGMs via AM route which includes stereolithography, material extrusion, laser-based AM like laser engineered net shaping (LENS), selective laser sintering (SLS), selective laser melting((SLM), binder jetting and hybrid AM techniques like wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) and friction stir additive manufacturing (FSAM). We also highlight the various key aspect related to design and operational strategies, structural and mechanical properties of FGMs fabricated via AM route.
