This laboratory is experimenting with the following experimental equipment.

5-107b

Autograph

　Tensile tests and compression tests can be performed with a maximum load of 50 kN.

 

Servopulser

　Fatigue test, tensile test, compression test can be performed up to a maximum load of 10 tons.
It is also possible to test at high temperature in the attached electric furnace.

 

 

 

Creep test machine

　Creep test can be performed.

 

 

 

200 ton compression tester

　It is a compression testing machine introduced in 2014.
The sample can be compressed with a maximum load of 200 tons.

 

 

Drop test machine

　Kitazono laboratory is developing a landing leg of the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) as a joint research with JAXA. This equipment can perform the performance test of the shock absorber of the landing gear. This machine is made by students.

 

 

 

Fine cutter

　 As well as metals, if you use diamond whetstone, you can do until cutting of ceramics.

 

Micro Vickers hardness tester

　The hardness of the surface of the sample can be measured automatically.

 

Ion milling

　By polishing the surface, it is possible to prepare samples without unevenness.

 

Infrared rays furnace

　By polishing the surface, it is possible to prepare samples without unevenness.

 

5-107a

Scanning electron microscope(SEM)

　It is the latest formula introduced in 2012.
Metallic microstructures and others can be observed at magnification of up to 200,000 times.

 

Optical microscope

　Metallic structure etc. can be observed up to 1000 times magnification.

 

X-ray diffractometer(XRD)

　The components of the sample can be measured with X-rays. Measurement of texture is also possible.
