Abstract
This article describes the “past”and “future”research activities on “Gradual progress on semisolid metal forming process”mainly in The University of Tokyo. That means, the “past”research activities include the history of semisolid forming process as well as highlighting their and advantages and drawbacks. The “future”portion explains the prospects of the following three themes that are being researched in our laboratory now. They are, (1) the semisolid metal forming process by using a servo press, (2) recycling and refining of scrap metals by using semisolid metal forming process, and (3) a micro structure control of metal matrix by using the semisolid metal forming technique.
