The mechanical property of FGMs is affected by dispersed particle size, volume fraction of the particle, and particle orientation. In order to clarify its property, it is important to disclose the particle motion during the fabrication process. In this study, two-dimensional circular particle motion during fabrication of Functionally Graded Materials is studied using the cold model centrifugal casting. Consideration is given to the tiinewise variation
