AWARD RECIPIENTS
HIGHL IGHTS
award. He is cited “for executive
leadership in industrial, univer-
sity, government, and technical
society advancement of research
and for research, invention, and
leadership in commercialization
of metallurgical technologies for
advanced materials and process-
ing.” The award was established
in 1943 to honor an executive in
an organization that produces,
fabricates, or uses metals and
other materials. The recipient, over a period of years, will
have consistently sponsored research or development, and
by foresight and actions, will have helped substantially ad-
vance the arts and sciences related to materials science and
engineering.
Engineering Materials
Achievement
Award (EMAA)
Paul Jablonski,
metallur-
gist, National Energy Technology
Laboratory (NETL);
Paul Turner,
supervisory metallurgist, NETL;
and
Jeffrey S. Hansen,
retired,
metallurgist, Albany Research
Center (NETL), will receive this
year’s award “for the development, transfer, and success-
ful commercialization of a novel platinum-chromium alloy
for use in manufacturing the next generation of coronary
stents.” Established In 1969, this award recognizes an out-
standing achievement in materials or materials systems
related to the application of knowledge of materials to an
engineering structure or to the design and manufacture of
a product.
Albert Sauveur
Achievement Award
Prof. Harshad Bhadeshia,
Tata Steel professor of metallur-
gy, department of materials sci-
ence and engineering, University
of Cambridge, UK, will receive this
year’s award “for seminal contri-
butions to the theory of solid-state
phase transformations and com-
putational materials design of high performance steels and
high temperature alloys.” Established in 1934 in honor of a
distinguished teacher, metallographer, and metallurgist, the
award recognizes pioneeringmaterials science and engineer-
ing achievements that stimulated organized work along sim-
ilar lines to such an extent that a marked basic advance was
made in the knowledge of materials science and engineering.
William Hunt Eisenman
Award
Dr. Frederick E. Schmidt,
FASM,
senior managing consul-
tant and director, materials tech-
nology, Engineering Systems Inc.,
Aurora, Ill., will receive this year’s
award “for pioneering industri-
al developments in electronics,
polymer, and chemical process-
ing, wear and corrosion problems, and especially the re-
duction of scrap in small caliber ammunition production.”
The award was established in 1960, in memory of a found-
ing member of ASM, and its first and only secretary for 40
years. It recognizes unusual achievements in industry in the
practical application of materials science and engineering
through production or engineering use.
J. Willard Gibbs
Phase Equilibria Award
Prof. John G. Speer, FASM,
professor, George S. Ansel depart-
ment of metallurgical and materi-
als engineering, Colorado School
of Mines, Golden, will receive this
year’s award “for innovative ap-
plications of fundamental phase
transformation principles in fer-
rous systems, development of the quenching and parti-
tioning process, and contributions to phase equilibria ed-
ucation.” The award was established in 2007 to recognize
outstanding contributions to the field of phase equilibria.
The award honors J. Willard Gibbs, one of America’s greatest
theoretical scientists. In addition to many other contribu-
tions, Gibbs laid the thermodynamic foundations of phase
equilibria theory with his brilliant essay “On the Equilibrium
of Heterogeneous Substances,” published in 1876 and 1878
in the
Transactions of the Connecticut Academy.
Allan Ray Putnam
Service Award
Mr. Thomas K. Glasgow, FASM,
manager, microgravity materials
science branch, retired, NASA Glenn
Research Center, Cleveland, will re-
ceive this year’s award “for lifelong
commitment and continued service
to materials education for students,
teachers, and materials profes-
sionals through the K-12 teacher grant program, Materials
Camp, and development and instruction of ASM education
courses.” Established in 1988, the award recognizes the ex-
emplary efforts of various outstanding members of ASM In-
ternational on behalf of the Society to further its objectives
