On Monday, April 14, a ultra-steel exhibition area was established in the first floor entrance hall of the Structures Control Laboratory with the presence of Dr. Mutsukazu Kamo, Vice President of NIMS, and Mr. Takahiro Fujita, Manager of the Public Relations Office.
The Steel Research Center is currently promoting three projects, the Ultra-Steel Project, the Millennium Relevant Project, and the Transfer Project. Our objective is to present the results of these projects to the public in the format of materials, products, and outcomes of experiments. Along with visual displays, we plan to present these results with a scientific explanation on the organization, composition, and invention. In addition to the models and exhibits, we have constructed a system that can attract our results by merging both animation and sound on a large-size plasma display with touch panels.

We have also set up a historical corner on steels so that we can follow the doctrine of "trying to discover new knowledge by taking lessons from the past" to develop future steels by looking back at the chronology of steels. We have borrowed precious materials including ancient nails from blacksmith Mr. Yukinori Shirataka and have placed them on display.
We would like to develop this exhibition area as a place to understand new products, results, and concepts that are related to the ultra-steel in one viewing.
