报告人简介：

The speaker, FN, worked for Sumitomo Metal Industries, Co. Ltd (SMI) for almost 43 years (April, 1975~August, 2012). His duty covered R&D on long products, materials testing and evaluation, customer service to major Japanese automobile companies, and education of young engineers of SMI, its subsidiary companies, and its customers. Among many R&D areas he got involved in, two major subjects are hydrogen (hydrogen-induced delayed fracture) and TMCP. These two are industrially very important even today. The former "hydrogen" is closely related to the performance of high-strength steel products used in various environments in the market. Typical hydrogen-induced in-service failure is delayed fracture of high strength bolts.

FN describes his R&D work to fight against this fracture. The latter "TMCP or thermo-mechanical control process" is the production technology which can bring about attractive cost saving and/or better-than-ever properties of various steel products. An example of successfully applied TMCP technology to high-performance re-bar production will be introduced. Throughout his speech, FN will outline how he got involved in these R&D subjects, his successes and failures, the desirable R&D engineer's mindset, etc. He will also refer to the future outlook on the above subjects.

报告人中里福和在日本住友金属公司工作了近43年（1975年四月—2012年8月）。他的职责包括长期产品的研究和开发、产品测试、演变、日本汽车厂商售后，以及在子公司和客户公司进行年轻工程师培养等工作。他主要涉及的两个产学研领域：氢致滞后断裂和控轧控冷。这两个领域至今对企业依旧非常重要。氢致滞后断裂，主要针对在极端环境下使用的高强度钢，典型的氢脆常发生在高强度螺栓断裂。

中里福和利用他的研究开发工作来解决材料断裂。热处理控轧控冷是非常重要的生产技术，不但可以节约生产成本而且能带来更好的材料性能。一个非常成功的例子是一种高性能的钢筋生产将会在报告中介绍。通过他的演讲，中里福和将会总结他研发工作过程中的成功和挫折以及一个令人赞赏的研究开发工程师的心态。最后，他将会对上述工作的未来进行展望。
