Palladium zinc aluminium (2.28/10.37/0.35), Pd(2.28(1))Zn(10.37(1))Al(0.35(1)), represents the upper limit of Al substitution into the parent cubic γ-brass Pd(2+x)Zn(11-x). The structure can be described in terms of a 26-atom cluster consisting of an inner tetra-hedron (IT), an outer tetra-hedron (OT), an octa-hedron (OH) and a cubocta-hedron (CO), with the substituted Al atoms partially occupy...

Abstract This article investigates the novel mechanical behavior of metal–metal gradients (Al/Zn) functionally graded materials (FGM) type. The experimental work includes manufacture three different models (FGM 1, FGM 2, and 3) with various proportions volume fraction gradation as (100% Al–50% Zn–50% Al–100% Zn), Al–30% Zn–70% Al–70% Zn–30% Zn) respectively. annealing process was carried out to...
