Charpy impact energy of as-prepared specimens was measured in the form of crack divider. The obtained results show that the impact energy of the specimens depends on the type and the volume fraction of the present phases. Based on the rule of mixtures, a mathematical model, which correlates the impact energy of functionally graded steels to the impact energy of the individual layers through Vickers microhardness of the layers, was presented. A good compatibility between the experimental results and those obtained from the model was observed.展开更多
