In 1969, ASM established the Fellow of the Society
honor to provide recognition tomembers for their distin-
guished contributions tomaterials science and engineer-
ing and to develop a broadly based forum of technical
and professional leaders to serve as advisors to the Soci-
ety. Following are the members recognized by their col-
leagues for 2014. Additional Fellows may be elected to
this distinguished body in subsequent years. The so-
licited guidance, which the Fellows provide, will enhance
the capability of ASM as a technical community of ma-
terials science and engineering professionals in the years
ahead. Awards will be presented at ASM’s annual Awards
Dinner, Tuesday, October 14, in Pittsburgh, during Ma-
terials Science & Technology 2014.
