About us
The group's research focuses on the microstructural analysis of various metallic alloys using electron microscopy and 3D atom probe, and the development of novel techniques to reveal the critical features that affect properties. Through alloying and thermomechanical processing, the microstructure of metallic materials is controlled on a wide range of length scales from the micro to the atomic level to demonstrate the remarkable properties. We use advanced electron microscopy techniques to thoroughly analyze the microstructure and elucidate the structure-processing-property relationship in detail, helping to find clues to solve critical problems in the application of existing materials, and to develop high-performance novel alloys that can solve societal problems.
Specialized Research Field
Development and application of microstructure analysis techniques based on electron microscopy:
・To obtain new information on interfaces such as grain boundary, twin boundary, etc.
・To obtain quantitative information on microstructure; elemental and morphological dispersion, etc.
