Abstract

This article examines the technological aspects of producing a new generation of ceramic composites— functionally gradient materials. It is shown how a percolation model of the electrical conductivity of resistive systems that was modified by the authors can be used to predict the electrical and mechanical properties of composites with a high degree of accuracy. Gradient composites in conversion systems designed to convert an electrical energy into heat are used as an example to demonstrate the promise of the proposed method as a means of optimizing the processing regimes for the production of ceramic composites having the required level of electrical and mechanical properties.
