Generally speaking, the preparation of FGM-blocks, especially in the metal-nitride systems, by the method of powder metallurgy needs an extremely high temperature and high pressure. But, in this work using a ductile nickel metal powder or an ultrafine particle, the FGM-blocks were easily prepared using a powder metallurgy at a lower temperature. A mixture of a metallic powder and a non-metallic powder whose contents were gradually changed was pressed in a steel die under pressure of 20-32 MPa. These green compacts were heated at 900-1573 K in controlled atmosphere under null pressure. The FGM-blocks prepared by this method were characterized by their properties and were used in joinings. The joinings of metal/FGM/ceramics, metal/FGM and ceramics/FGM were completely accomplished at 900-1573 K. 6 refs.
