PRODUCTION OF ARTICLE MADE OF FUNCTIONAL GRADIENT MATERIAL

摘要

In order to integrally bind two component materials of different nature and affinity, there is provided between the two an intermediate phase in which both materials are intimately admixed together in proportions that vary according to a given pattern. For achieving said intermediate phase, one of the materials is made with varying porosity and the second material is brought into the pores in the fluid state and thereafter solidified.
