moreHydroxyapatite (HA)–Ti asymmetrical functionally graded biomaterial (FGM) combining the excellent biocompatible properties of HA ceramic and the good mechanical properties of titanium metal was designed optimally and fabricated in this paper. The thermo-elastic properties of the uniform HA–Ti composites with various mixing ratios corresponding to each graded layer of the FGM were tested firstly. The experimental results show thermal expansion
