HEAT TREATING SOCIETY NEWS
HTS MEMBERS IN ASM’S 2015
CLASS OF FELLOWS
In 1969, ASMestablished the Fellowof the Society honor
to provide recognition to members for their distinguished
contributions tomaterials science andengineering and tode-
velop a broad-based forum of technical and professional
leaders to serve as advisors to the Society. Awardswill be pre-
sented at ASM’s annual Awards Dinner, Tuesday, October 6, in
Columbus, Ohio, duringMaterialsScience&Technology2015.
Dr. Joseph W. Newkirk, FASM, associate
professor, Missouri University of Science
and Technology, Rolla, is recognized “for
outstanding contributions in teaching,
mentoring, professional service, and en-
trepreneurial research in alloy property
development, particulate composites,
powder metallurgy materials, and property assessment of
powder metallurgy and metal injection molded parts.”
Prof. Yongho Sohn, FASM,professor, Uni-
versity of Central Florida, Orlando, is rec-
ognized “for significant contributions to
teaching and research in the fundamental
understanding of multi-component diffu-
sion kinetics, analysis and control of mi-
crostructures, phase transformations,
and the application of advanced materials characterization
techniques.”
Prof. Chester J. Van Tyne, FASM, FIERF
professor, Colorado School of Mines,
Golden, is recognized “for significant con-
tributions to understanding the effects of
processing and microstructure on the
plastic deformation behavior of steels
and nickel-base alloys in metal-forming
manufacturing processes.”
Mr. Zbigniew Zurecki, FASM, senior re-
search associate, Air Products & Chemi-
cals Inc., is recognized “for conceptualiza-
tion and sustained development of
cleaner, safer, and environmentally friend-
lier alternatives to many conventional
methods of processing metals resulting in
improved product quality and increased productivity of in-
dustrial operations.”
HTS MEMBERS RECEIVE ASM 2015 AWARDS
The awards programrecognizes achievements ofmem-
bers of the materials science and engineering community.
Awards will be presented at ASM’s annual Awards Dinner,
October 6, in Columbus, Ohio, during MS&T15.
DISTINGUISHED LIFE MEMBERSHIPAWARD
Distinguished Life Membership was established in 1954
and is conferred on leaders who have devoted their time,
knowledge, and abilities to the advancement of the materi-
als industries.
Mr. Richard L. Wilkey, president, Fish-
er-Barton Group, Waukesha, Wis., will
receive this year’s award “for the entre-
preneurial drive in business creation
and growth and persistent and aggres-
sive advancement in materials science
and engineering and the people and
industries who use them.”
WILLIAM HUNT EISENMAN AWARD
The William Hunt Eisenman Award was established in
1960, in memory of a founding member of ASM, and its first
andonly secretary for 40 years. It recognizes unusual achieve-
ments in industry in the practical application of materials sci-
ence andengineering throughproductionor engineeringuse.
Dr. Frederick E. Schmidt, FASM, senior
managing consultant and director, ma-
terals technology, Engineering Systems
Inc., Aurora, Ill., will receive this year’s
award “for pioneering industrial devel-
opments in electronics, polymer, and
chemical processing, wear and corro-
sion problems, and especially the reduction of scrap in small
caliber ammunition production.”
BEST PAPER IN HEAT TREATING CONTEST
The ASM HTS/Bodycote award was established by HTS
in 1997 to recognize a paper that represents advancement
in heat treating technology, promotes heat treating in a sub-
stantial way, or represents a clear advancement in manag-
ing the business of heat treating. The award is endowed by
Bodycote Thermal Process-North America.
The contest is open to all students, in full-time or part-
time education, at universities (or their equivalent) or col-
leges. It is also open to those students who have graduated
within the past three years and whose paper describes work
completed while an undergraduate or post-graduate stu-
dent. The winner receives a plaque and check for $2500.
