We focus on realizing carbon neutral and highly effective use of ore resources on the pyrometallurgical process such as ironmaking, recycle process of non-ferrous materials, nickel smelting, and so on. Basic researches on the ironmaking are by hydrogen reduction and carbon recycling processes because these processes do not emit CO2. We also conduct research on manufacturing technology for porous metals, the development of their applications, and the development of self-healing materials.

A new Murakami laboratory has been established. We welcomed 6 fourth year students, 3 staff members and 12 students, all of whom had fun and actively engaged in research activities.
DetailMETEC & 6th ESTAD (European Steel Technology and Application Days) was held in Germany.
DetailWe held a farewell party for the fourth-year students taking the graduate school entrance exams, eating katsudon and eating katsudon together.
DetailWe held a summer training camp for our laboratory. The weather was not bad, we had no accidents or injuries, and we had a great time enjoying Muroran.
DetailThe website has been renewed.
Daisuke Maruoka's paper “Influence of Na2SO4 molten salts on the self-healing behavior of Ni/Al2O3 composites” has been accepted by the Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies.
