Datasheets

Press Release Massage / 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 materials data. These data sheets will become truly valuable common assets for the entire industry.

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.
