The lab advances the materials science of welding and joining through research that spans multiple fields.
AboutAbout the lab
Advancing welding and joining through materials science
The Process Metallurgy Lab aims to make the materials science of welding and joining more advanced and sophisticated, and carries out research that spans materials science, mechanics, and process engineering.
For the phenomena of welding and joining, the lab works on clarifying and modeling welding metallurgy, and explores techniques for prediction and control.
Its goals are to systematize process metallurgy for welding and joining and to establish technologies that contribute to improved reliability.
Key terms
- Welding metallurgy
- A field that investigates the phenomena occurring in welding and joining from the standpoint of metallurgy, the science of metallic materials
- Interfacial joining
- Joining in which materials are bonded at the boundary (interface) between them. Research is under way on approaches suited to new materials and new processes
- Multiscale
- An approach that links and treats multiple phenomena occurring at different scales
ResearchResearch themes
To make the materials science of welding and joining more advanced and sophisticated, the lab carries out research that spans materials science, mechanics, and process engineering. Its work covers clarifying multiscale material behavior with an atomistic approach, research on interfacial joining for new materials and new processes, and exploring prediction and control techniques based on welding metallurgy.
