Datasheets

Press Release Message / Mission Organization Staff Outline of Research

To ensure a safe and secure society, materials used in machines and buildings must be sound and reliable.

In addition to creep and fatigue data sheets that have been working on over 30 years, MITS has newly started the development of corrosion and space use material data. These data sheets will become truly valuable common assets for the entire industry.
Text List

Creep

To ensure a reliable and safe supply of power for domestic and industrial use, creep tests are conducted continuously for periods of 10, 20 and 30 years to supply reliable materials data to power plants.

Fatigue

For safe and trouble-free vehicles, fatigue strength is measured by repeating stress tests 10 billion times to provide materials security.

Corrosion

To help keep bridges sound for a century or more, corrosion rates  [OK/ES] are measured under actual conditions.

Space use Materials

Advanced materials are tested under cryogenic conditions (-269˚C) to help successfully launch vehicles into space.
