Research Progress and Prospects of Thermally Sprayed Functionally Gradient Materials

P. J. Hou, H. G. Wang, B. L. Zha, X. J. Yuan, L. JIANG, Xi'an Research Institute of Hi-Tech, Xi'an, China

The concept, the development background and the present application of functionally gradient materials (FGMs) are introduced. Some fabrication methods of FGM, such as plasma spraying, flame spraying, detonation gun spraying are reviewed .The research emphases and prospects of the methods are put forward.
Key words: Spraying, functionally gradient materials(FGMs), fabrication, application, coatings
