Rate My Professor Kazuhito Ohashi

Ohashi's research focuses on precision machining, grinding technology, abrasive machining, tool wear detection and prediction, coolant supply methods in grinding processes, chatter vibration mechanisms, high-efficiency grinding of cemented carbide, SiC ceramics, and magnesium alloys, as well as environmental-harmonic machining and on-machine measurement systems. Notable publications include 'Development of tool life prediction system for square end-mills based on database of servo motor current value' (2025, Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems and Manufacturing), 'Study on an Effective Coolant Supply Method in the Side Plunge Grinding Process' (2025, International Journal of Automation Technology), 'Study on the Grinding Temperature of Workpiece in Side Plunge Grinding Process' (2025, International Journal of Automation Technology), 'Study on Milling Characteristics and Surface Integrity of AZ31B Magnesium Alloy' (2024, Transactions of the Indian Institute of Metals), and 'Construction of grinding wheel decision support system using random forests for difficult-to-cut material' (2023, Precision Engineering). He has received numerous awards, including the Machine Tool Technology Promotion Award (論文賞 2025, 奨励賞 2023 and 2022), Best Paper Award at the 18th International Conference on Precision Engineering (2020), Excellent Paper Award at ISAAT2019, social contribution awards from Okayama University Faculty of Engineering (2021, 2017), and education contribution awards (2013, 2004). His work has advanced precision production technologies through regional industry-academia-government collaborations.
