Abstract
This chapter provides a summary of progress in the field of FGAM. Given that this field is of recent origin, the methods and techniques to produce property grading is still fledgling. Therefore, the data to be presented for progress in two fields pertaining to the functional grading of metallic objects. These. Whereas, the 2nd° Categories are labeled according to the ingredients of the resulting object. As such, the first category pertains to efforts in producing Functionally Graded objects with only two ingredients. Whereas, the second category concerns objects made of multi-materials (more than two ingredient components)
