Shinji Fukumoto, Professor

The Process Integration Lab studies fine joining (micro- and nano-joining) technologies, which are indispensable in electronics packaging and elsewhere. Electronic devices are multi-material structures in which metals, semiconductors, and organic compounds are packed tightly together. At tiny joints, the effects of phenomena that are not a problem in large joints, such as the amount of dissolution and surface tension (size effects), cannot be ignored. The lab aims to understand phenomena specific to tiny joints and to optimize joining processes and materials, achieving highly reliable and highly functional joints. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Fukumoto Lab."

The Process Mechanics Lab studies the mechanical phenomena that accompany material processing, including thermal processing, machining, and combined processing. Processes such as welding and joining, cutting, and machining cause mechanical effects like residual stress and deformation, which affect the performance and reliability of products and structures. By integrating materials science, process physics, and mechanical design, the lab develops simulation models of manufacturing processes, with the aim of predicting the properties of processed regions. The lab was established in 1964 as a chair dealing with welding mechanics, and has carried out education and research under the name Process Mechanics since 2009.

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.

The Reliability Assessment Lab centers on composite materials engineering, reliability engineering, and engineering education, and studies manufacturing in a wide range of fields, including biomedical engineering, energy and the environment, electronics, and disaster prevention. Through interdisciplinary integration and industry-academia collaboration, the lab carries out research and development of simulation technologies for creating new technologies, as well as of the new technologies themselves. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kurashiki Lab." In the graduate school, it is also in charge of the Technology Design chair of the Department of Business Engineering. Fourth-year undergraduates are assigned to the lab only from the Production Science Course of the Department of Applied Science and Engineering.

The Advanced Hard Materials Lab (Sekino Lab) researches how to build materials, mainly ceramics and metals, through structural design and control from the nano to the macro scale. The lab makes bulk materials and nanomaterials with diverse functions, evaluates their structures and fundamental properties and characteristics, and clarifies the mechanisms behind them. Its goal is the research and development of advanced functional structural materials with new structural and functional properties. It aims to develop next-generation fundamental materials and their applications that help solve important challenges facing society today.

The Processing Physics Lab (Sano Lab) studies the physics of material processing using lasers and arc plasmas. By combining advanced measurement techniques with numerical simulation, the lab pursues the “universal truths” hidden in processing phenomena. Based on these truths, the lab aims to predict and control material processing phenomena and to create manufacturing with unprecedented value. The lab's day-to-day activities are shared on Instagram.

The lab studies microjoining, from developing new joining materials for electronics packaging to establishing advanced joining processes and clarifying their mechanisms. The lab creates joining materials with excellent functionality and high reliability, and builds new microjoining processes that use various energy sources. It also investigates phenomena that occur at interfaces at the nano- and microscale, and works to improve the reliability of microjoints by controlling interface structure and function. While building the fundamental science, the lab also develops applied technologies for practical use. In the Graduate School of Engineering's lab directory, the lab is introduced under the name Microjoining Engineering Lab.

The lab controls material interfaces that arise at various scales, aiming to develop materials that meet real-world needs. It designs material structures starting from the nanoscale, with realization in mega-scale production in mind. Using plasma materials engineering, the lab takes on proposing next-generation materials and processes that can reconcile partly conflicting properties, such as higher quality with higher functionality, and lower cost with reduced environmental impact.
Hidetoshi Fujii, Professor

The Joining Interface Mechanisms Lab (the Fujii Lab) analyzes phenomena that occur at the interfaces of joining and welding, which connect materials, and studies how those interfaces form. Its aim is to establish new interface control technologies based on this knowledge. Focusing mainly on friction joining methods such as friction stir welding and on fusion welding methods, the lab aims to create next-generation joining and modification process technologies. Assignment to the lab is stated to require passing the entrance examination of the Department of Materials and Manufacturing Science, Graduate School of Engineering. Professor Hidetoshi Fujii is also director of both the Nippon Steel Monozukuri Future Collaborative Research Institute and the Honda-Osaka University Joining Science Monozukuri Collaborative Research Institute at the Joining and Welding Research Institute, and states that students take part in the research themes at both.

The Joining Microstructure Design Lab studies the properties of welded and joined parts from a materials science perspective, aiming to create technologies to control and predict them. To make industrial products and structures from high-performance materials, welding and joining technologies that fully draw out the properties of the materials are essential. Covering various methods such as fusion joining and solid-state joining, the lab studies how to improve the properties and reliability of joints, whether between materials of the same type or of different types. On the institute's website, this lab is introduced under the name "Joining Microstructure Evaluation Lab."
