Jacquet-Lucas Award for
Excellence in Metallography
The ASM Metallographic Award was
established in 1946 for the best entry in
the annual ASM metallographic competi-
tion. In 1958, it became known as the Fran-
cis F. Lucas Metallographic Award and has
been endowed since that date by Adolph I.
Buehler. In 1972, ASM joined with The International Metal-
lographic Society (IMS) in sponsoring the Pierre Jacquet
Gold Medal and the Francis F. Lucas Award for Excellence in
Metallography. This award has been endowed by Buehler
Ltd. since 1976.
The 2015 recipient of the Jacquet-Lucas Award is Peter
Kirbiš from the University of Maribor, Slovenia, for his entry
entitled “Welding of Novel High Carbon Bainitic Steel.” Kirbiš
is currently working as a doctoral candidate at the faculty of
mechanical engineering at this university. His thesis is titled
“Modeling of Rapid Bainite Formation at Very Low Tempera-
tures” and is a continuation of his master’s degree work in
mechanical engineering.
He earned his master’s in 2014, with the work titled
“Development of Nanostructured Bainitic Steels,” under
the mentorship of Prof. Dr. Ivan Anžel. This resulted in
development of three steels, which form fully carbide-free
bainitic microstructures during air cooling. The same year,
a segment of the work was submitted in Class 3 of the
International Metallographic Contest and won third place.
In the field of metallography, he grew fond of tint etching
and one of his images can be seen in the current Buehler
calendar.
