Laboratory courses are designed around a carefully ordered sequence of experiments and exercises that enable students to draw their own conclusions from experimental results, fostering independent analytical thinking. Research investigates the relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties in steels and heat-resistant alloys.

High-Temperature Mechanical Properties of Ni-Based Superalloys

This research investigates the mechanisms underlying the strength and deformation behavior of Ni-based superalloys at high temperatures. Using thin-sheet specimens, synchrotron X-ray measurements of crystal structure are combined with mechanical testing to examine the relationship between microstructural evolution and mechanical response. Ni-based superalloys are essential materials in aircraft engines, and clarifying the mechanisms that govern their mechanical properties is expected to inform the development of new materials.
