Abstract
A new class of materials with engineered compositional gradients through the thickness is introduced. Ingots with different types of composition gradients through the thickness were fabricated into plate. The composition and mechanical properties of these “Functional Gradient” plate products (metallic composites) are described, and the energy absorption performance of different architectures of functional gradient products is discussed in terms of dimensionless parameters. It is concluded that ab-initio simulations of architecture and performance are needed for the development, optimization and use of functional gradient products.
