ASANO Kazunori
- Position
- Professor
- Laboratory
- Composite Materials Laboratory
Foundry Engineering, Composite Materials Engineering
We are actively involved in research on heat-resistant and wear-resistant composite materials in which metals are reinforced using ceramic particles or fibers. We are also doing R&D on environmentally benign melting and solidification technologies aimed at saving energy, conserving resources, and recycling.
TOMITA Yoshihiro
- Position
- Lecturer
- Laboratory
- Ferrous Materials Laboratory
Foundry Engineering
Metal for complex shapes such as an engine is cast by first melting the metal and then pouring it into a mold. We study environmentally friendly casting processes and do research on enhancing the value added to products as well as boosting their functionality.
