Abstract
- We proposed a new strategy of combining dynamic freeze casting with pressure infiltration and successfully prepared an antler-bone-inspired gradient metal-ceramic composite. As exemplified by Al-7Si-5Cu/Al 2 O 3 , the resultant composite exhibits the unique mechanical properties of being externally hard, strong, and wear-resistant but internally soft and tough owing to its compositional and structural gradients and delicate lamellar microstructures. This study offers a feasible, flexible, and scalable approach to designing and preparing functionally gradient materials with biomimetic structural features and exceptional properties.
