TAKUMI is a time-of-flight neutron diffractometer dedicated for engineering materials sciences. Experiments in TAKUMI vary from internal strain mapping in engineering components, microstructural evolutions during deformations of structural or functional materials at various temperatures, microstructural evolutions during manufacturing (thermo-mechanical) processes, as well as texture analyses of engineering materials. In the presentation, the current status of TAKUMI, its sample environmental devices, the scientific trends in TAKUMI and some research examples will be introduced.
