Research

In order to high-functionalization (of mechanical property) in metals beyond conventional knowledge, we perform multi-scale control of microstructure by severe plastic deformation.

Theme1:High-functionalization of metals by severe plastic deformation

Overview
Tensile property of bulk submicrocrystalline pure Fe produced by HPT-straining. HPT-processed specimens have high tensile strength and large elongation.

In recent years, with the appearance of nano / submicro - crystalline (NC/SC) metals and alloys prepared by severe plastic deformation, new ways to improve mechanical properties of materials have been developed. We prepare “BULK” NC/SC materials by high-pressure torsion and “SURFACE” NC/SC materials by surface - nanocrystallized wearing. We create materials with new characteristics including mechanical properties beyond conventional knowledge by severe plastic deformation.

Theme2:Development of Low Environmentally Hazardous Thermoelectric Materials

Overview

Thermoelectric effect, discovered in 1823 by Seebeck, is finding more applications than ubiquitous thermocouples. Electric power can be extract from waste heat by the thermoelectric effect. We have been focusing on the development of metallic silicide thermoelectric materials which consist of non-toxic and abundant materials. By controlling of microstructure with appropriate doping, it is possible to maximize the efficiency of power generation.
