The Radioactive Ion Beam Factory (RIBF) at RIKEN is a heavy-ion accelerator facility that can provide intensive beams of radioactive isotopes (RI beam) produced at in-flight RI-beam separators. While the facility is used for experiments of various basic research fields, a new project has been started to open the facility to non-academic proposals from industry. We show an overview of the RIBF and the project of industrial use, and present a utilization of an RI-beam for development of wear diagnostics of industrial materials.
