Abstract: The microstructure and composition distribution of TiC-Al2O3/Fe functionally graded materials(FGM) prepared by SHS/PHIP were studied, and the resisting thermal
shock behavior was analyzed. The results show that TiC-Al2O3/Fe FGM has the desired composition distribution. The thermal shock fracture of TiC-Al2O3/Fe
FGM originated from the surface on the side of ceramic and propagated perpendicular to the graded layer. And the crack of thermal fatigue originated and propagated in
graded layer. However, no cross-section crevice through the graded layer was found in the two conditions.

Key words: SHS/PHIP, FGM, microstructure, resisting thermal shock behavior
