    Abstract

    The research investigates Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) and their transformational potential in modern engineering. FGMs, which exhibit progressive property fluctuations, call into question traditional material consistency. This study analyses the growth of FGMs and their importance in solving complex engineering difficulties through historical analysis and real-world case studies. The research dives into the design concepts, material selection, manufacturing procedures, and sophisticated characterisation methodologies that underpin FGM development from a methodological standpoint. Mechanical, thermal, and electrical characteristics, in combination with microstructural progression, offer a thorough knowledge of FGM behaviour. The implications for future engineering advances are highlighted, with a focus on the ability to rethink material design and multifunctional performance. Among the many attractive possibilities, issues in scalability, characterisation, and multidisciplinary cooperation need additional investigation. FGMs represent a paradigm shift from homogeneity to targeted heterogeneity, echoing wider shifts in engineering philosophy and influencing technological development. © 2023 EDP Sciences.
