Director of Japan Nagaoka National Science University high performance magnesium Engineering Research Center S. Kamado, the international renowned magnesium alloy experts, visited CCMG of Chongqing University on August 17, 2010.
Prof. S. Kamado, known as “Top 1 of Japan magnesium alloys research” with high international reputation in magnesium alloy industry, committed to a long-term research of the basic theory and applied of magnesium-based material. He is the consultant of magnesium alloy development in some large enterprises, such as Japanese Hitachi Metals, Kobe Steel, Suzuki motorcycles, Honda metal and Development Department, IHI and Sankyoalumi tec.. The high-performance magnesium Engineering Research Center where Prof. S. Kamado works is the only one National magnesium alloy research center in Japan, whose researches in magnesium alloy materials are at the international advanced level.
The Director of CCMG Prof. Pan Fu-sheng, President of the collage of Materials Science and Engineering and deputy director of CCMG Prof. Liu Qing and Deputy Director of CCMG Prof. Zhang Dingfei met with the visiting guests.
