Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) are a type of advanced material that are composed of two or more materials with different properties, such as electrical, thermal, and mechanical. These materials are designed to have a gradual transition in properties from one material to another, allowing for improved performance in a variety of applications. FGM are used in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and medical.
FGM are often used in applications where a combination of properties is required, such as in aircraft components, where a combination of strength and lightness is needed. They are also used in medical implants, where a combination of strength and biocompatibility is needed.
Some companies in the FGM market include 3M, BASF, and Dow Corning. These companies produce a variety of FGM products, such as composites, coatings, and adhesives. They also provide services such as design and engineering, prototyping, and testing. Show Less Read more
