Design of novel shape memory alloys and their applications

Research | Our younger experts

Detail

We are working on novel shape memory alloys. In particular, we aim to develop Fe-based shape memory (or superelastic) alloys through alloy and microstructural designs. Our interest includes their applications in a wide range of fields even as a large-scale structural material.
