AboutAbout the lab
Aiming to create new, highly reliable structural materials
The Materials Strength Control Lab works on metals, alloys, and ceramics, aiming to realize new, highly reliable structural materials by controlling the microstructure and crystal orientation of materials.
Its starting point is the idea that bringing out the performance that materials inherently have is essential for making structural materials more reliable and longer-lasting, and for making effective use of limited resources.
Based on strength of materials, crystal plasticity, and materials microstructure science, the lab works to clarify deformation mechanisms and, on that basis, to control microstructure and crystal orientation.
Its research rests on two pillars: ceramic coating by particle impact at room temperature, and microstructure control through high-temperature processing and heat treatment.
Key terms
- Aerosol deposition (AD) method
- A method of making dense, crystalline coatings by spraying metal or ceramic powder at high speed onto a substrate at room temperature
- Texture
- The degree to which the crystals in a material are aligned in the same direction. Also called crystal orientation, and controlled through processing and heat treatment

ResearchResearch themes
The lab actively uses the microstructure and anisotropy of materials to bring out the performance they inherently have, aiming to make structural materials more reliable and longer-lasting. Targeting bulk metals and alloys as well as ceramic films, it controls microstructure and crystal orientation based on an understanding of deformation mechanisms, and develops process technologies and evaluation methods.
*Illustrative imageCeramic Coating by Particle Impact
Ceramic coatings deposited by the aerosol deposition (AD) method improve the environmental resistance, heat resistance, and wear resistance of structural materials, giving them a longer service life. The lab develops process technologies and evaluation methods for this purpose.
*Illustrative imageMicrostructure Control by High-Temperature Processing and Heat Treatment
Through high-temperature processing and combined processing and heat treatment, the lab controls the microstructure and texture (crystal orientation) of materials, working to improve the plastic workability of metals and alloys, improve fracture resistance at room temperature, and improve high-temperature strength.
