Equipments
Materials testing and materials evaluation testing machines
These are devices that evaluate the mechanical properties, the processing and the characteristic of the materials.
- Macro-materials testing machine This device performs the macro-material mechanical test under the high-temperature and moist environments.
- Micro-materials testing machine This device performs the micro-material mechanical test.
- Focused ion beam (FIB) machining system This device processes the micron-size test piece.
- Nano indentor This device performs the nano-hardness measurement.
- Thermoelastic stress analysis testing system This device performs the thermoelasticity stress analysis by using the thermography.
- Magnetic force microscope This device performs a magnetic structure at the atom and the nano-level.
Advanced processing machines
These are devices that processes various materials.
- Electromagnetic forming machine This device performs high-speed plastic deformation and joining by using the electromagnetic force generated when electric current flows through a coil.
- Laser-based directed energy deposition fabricated by AIST (Laser DED) Fine structure fabrication of parts was built by this metal printing system.
