As one of processing methods of functionally graded materials (FGMs), centrifugal mixed-powder method has been proposed. The centrifugal mixed-powder method is the casting process combined of centrifugal casting and powder metallurgy. This processing method has advantage that fine ceramics-particles, whose wettability with matrix melt is low, can be compounded into metallic material. However, effects of particle size on microstructure and mechanical properties of the FGMs fabricated by the centrifugal mixed-powder method are unclear. In this study, two kinds of Al-TiO2 FGMs rings are fabricated by the centrifugal mixed-powder method. One contains TiO2 particles having similar diameter with Al matrix particles (hereafter, small different-size (SD) TiO2 particles), and the other one compounds TiO2 particles with much smaller diameter than Al matrix particles (hereafter, large different-size (LD) TiO2 particles). In case of the Al-TiO2 FGMs ring containing SD-TiO2 particles, the TiO2 particles are homogeneously dispersed in Al matrix on outer surface of the ring. On the other hand, the TiO2 particles in the Al-TiO2 FGMs ring with LD-TiO2 particles are distributed along grain boundary of Al matrix. Moreover, Vickers-hardness and wear resistance around outer surface of the Al-TiO2 FGMs ring containing the SD-TiO2 particles is higher than that of the Al-TiO2 FGMs ring with LD-TiO2 particles. Since Al particles in the mixed-powder with LD-TiO2 particles are surrounded by the TiO2 particles, the Al particles can be hardly melted by heat of molten Al at casting process. As a result, the Al-TiO2 FGMs ring with LD-TiO2 particles has low hardness and wear resistance. Therefore, it is found that TiO2 particles having similar diameter with Al matrix particles are more suitable for fabrication of the Al-TiO2 FGMs rings.

Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) present a solution to control electrical stresses in high voltage applications. In this paper, a concise review is presented on the FGMs for spacers in gas-insulated systems. FGMs offer the possibility of a more even electric field distribution and thus a viable solution for industrial applications. FGMs are investigated here primarily as materials for permittivity control. Some aspects of FGMs are discussed as well as some thoughts on future challenges.
