Development of innovative manufacturing technology is required to manufacture high-performance machine products and structures of the next-generation. Department of Joining Metallurgical Evaluation conducts research and education for elucidation and control of the factors on weldment properties by high accurate evaluation based on material science and engineering. In order to create innovative and attractive technique of welding & Joining as a final aim, our department are working on elucidation of metallurgical phenomenon such as solidification and transformation, and on developing the predication method for the microstructures and the properties of weldments.
