Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for fabricating multi-functional articles comprised of additively formed gradient materials are provided. The fabrication of multi-functional articles using the additive deposition of gradient alloys represents a paradigm shift from the traditional way that metal alloys and metal/metal alloy parts are fabricated. Since a gradient alloy that transitions from one metal to a different metal cannot be fabricated through any conventional metallurgy techniques, the technique presents many applications. Moreover, the embodiments described identify a broad range of properties and applications.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of fabricating a multi-functional multilayer article comprising: determining a shape for the article and defining at least two spatially separated regions on said article, said two regions to be formed of at least two distinct materials being joined by at least one compositional gradient transition region; mapping a compositional gradient pathway onto said article between said at least two regions such that the at least one compositional gradient…
