In order to maintain the sustainable development of the society for human being, it is of crucial importance to develop the new types of highly-functional structural materials such as energy-generating and -saving materials, environment load-reducing materials, and biomaterials. In our laboratory, we are aiming at systematizing the processing-structure-property relationships in structural metallic materials through the systematic examination and analyses for macro-, micro- and nano-structures evolved during the plastic deformation concomitant with heat-treatment, i.e., cold- and hot-forging, rolling, extrusion, swaging, wire-drawing, and hot-pressing. In addition, we are studying on advanced processing technology including additive manufacturing using electron beam melting (EBM), spark plasma sintering (SPS) and plasma rotating electrode process (PREP). By employing the state-of-the-art techniques for characterization and computer simulations, fundamental studies are carried out to reveal mechanisms of occurrence of some specific properties for such advanced materials and to establish the processing and the synthesis for producing the most favorable microstructures to realize the best performance of the materials.
