Eklemeli İmalatla Üretilen İşlevsel Olarak Derecelendirilmiş Metal Yapılar

Functionally graded structure (FGS) is a type of material where microstructure, porosity or chemical composition is gradually changing across the volume of the material so that multiple physical properties not possible within the same part made by conventional material processing techniques can be achieved. Metal FGSs can be produced with different conventional manufacturing processes but recent advances in Additive Manufacturing (AM) enable the production of different type of FGSs with the possibility of production of complex shapes, low cost for prototyping, minimum tooling, high accuracy and high repeatability. The present paper focuses on the recent advances in metal AM of FGSs. A detailed review of researches on metal AM of FGSs and their usage in different industries will be presented in this paper.
