The purpose of establishment

The Steel Research Center was established on April 1, 2002 to conduct fundamental and applied researches to develop ultrasteels with excellent properties such as high earthquake resistance and high corrosion resistance strategically as well as to contribute to solving global environmental problems. It also has functions to coordinate international meetings and to promote important steel research projects.

Objective of Steel Research Center  

1. Promote strategic international cooperative research.

2. Promote the alliance between end users and product designers to develop steels with an industrial impact.

3. Promote the fundamental research on fabricating the structure with high reliability or quality.

4. Carry out the research from the search of the demands to the development of the final products with close collaboration between the industry and the academism.

5. Contribute towards the education and training of young scientists who will be engaged in the next generation steel research.
