Akane SuzukiEmail: akanes@umich.eduDr. Suzuki's research is on the microstructure and high temperature mechanical properties of magnesium alloys, especially in Mg-Al-Ca based alloy systems. The Mg-Al-Ca based alloys are promising as high creep-resistant structural materials for powertrain components of automobiles, but fundamental research has been needed for further alloy improvement. She is investigating solidification path, phase equilibria, phase transformation and creep. This research is part of an effort to improve the fundamental aspects of Mg alloy design.
