Welding and Joining Process Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab studying dissimilar material joining, which joins different materials with high precision.
AboutAbout the lab
Combining materials and controlling joint interfaces
The Welding and Joining Process Engineering Lab studies how to control microstructure formation and reactions at joint interfaces, based on dissimilar material joining technology that joins different materials with high precision.
Multi-material technology, which combines multiple materials where each suits best, is described as a technology that makes automobiles and transport equipment lighter and higher-performing and contributes to a carbon-neutral society.
Based on joining metallurgy, which integrates metallurgical engineering and welding engineering, the lab covers everything from the design of joining processes to the prediction of joint interface properties.
By making previously difficult material combinations possible, the lab aims to realize advanced manufacturing that combines light weight, high strength, and high functionality.
