In the second phase of the development, the ability of property estimation of the network is examined with the data samples which are measured from the experimental process but never used in the training session. Based on the experimental data which were available for the trial, we trained and tested the ANN network to predict densities of FGM. Table 1 shows the comparison of measured and the network estimated densities of as-synthesized TiB2-Cu FGM using the Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) technique. The result indicates that the ANN network can give quite good estimations to the FGM properties. 

Combustion synthesis (CS) is an attractive technique to produce a wide variety of advanced materials including powders and near-net shape products of ceramics, intermetallics, composites, and functionally graded materials. This method was discovered in the former Soviet Union [13]. The development of this technique leads to the appearance of a new scientific direction that incorporates both aspects of combustion and materials science [14, 15]. CS can occur by two modes self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) and volume combustion synthesis (YCS).
