About us
Microstructure control and processing by the combination of deformation, heat treatment and alloy design
The research targets for thermomechanical processing group are the microstructural change by phase transformation, recovery and recrystallization and the influence of this change on the mechanical properties. The challenging subject is selected from the vailed issues that are desired to be clarified for the development of new processing. These are, for example, (i) the effect of applied stress on transformation during heat treatment and (ii) the relation between the microstructural change and the mechanism for impact deformation and fatigue. These are studied mainly by physical experiments. The goal is to establish new principles applicable to general metallic materials.
