HIGH STRENGTH MATERIALS PROJECT Structural Materials

Ultra-high temperature materials with ultimate heat-resistant
properties

Pioneering of high-strength, heat-resistant materials

A High-Strength Materials Synergy Science & Engineering (SS&E) laboratory will be organized as an interdisciplinary unit in Tohoku University, aimed to invent ”Tohoku University brand high-strength materials" with unique heat-resistant properties, and to disseminate their information to the world.

Advanced synthesis, evaluation and testing technology, and their fusion with theory, modeling and simulation

Research and development will be carried out in accordance with materials science principles, universal to different kinds of high-strength materials. By developing an interdisciplinary graduate school education system in cooperation with the high-strength materials SSE laboratory, we will develop human resources utilizing the history and tradition of Tohoku University. On research aspect, we sophisticate (A) manufacturing and process technology including interfacial control and (B) analysis, evaluation and testing methods under extreme environments. Furthermore, by the fusion of these advanced technologies with theory, modeling and simulation, we will drive forward the establishment of a world’s highest-class research and education hub for high-strength materials.
