CAMP NEWS
• Nearly 5000 new and updated ferrous and nonferrous
standards specification records, based on ASTM and
ASME standards
• New hot working datasheets, including flow stress data
and processing maps for metallurgical interpretation
and optimum processing conditions for metals, alloys,
intermetallics, and metal matrix composites
• Expanded corrosion performance data, including envi-
ronments relevant to the oil & gas industry
• New material producers’ datasheets
• New magnesium alloy datasheets
An authoritative materials data reference, the data-
base includes more than 100,000 alloy designations, spec-
ifications, standards and commercial grades in the U.S.
and globally. The database also features thousands of
documents in PDF format, including material data sheets
from Alloy Digest and other ASM publications; heat treat-
ing data sheets from the best-selling Heat Treater’s Guides;
time-temperature curves, creep curves, fatigue curves, and
stress-strain curves. Additional database components cover
material properties, coatings, and corrosion performance
data. For more information, contact

Teachers Camp Highlights Additive
Manufacturing
Taught by two Master Teachers, Troy Alesi of State Col-
lege Area High School and Ron Shealer of Mount Nittany
Middle School, both in State College, Pa., the ASM Materi-
als Education Foundation launched its inaugural specialty
Teachers Camp on additive manufacturing in July. Hosted
by Carnegie Mellon University and Penn State, 19 teachers
attended the event. Based on the success of the first camp,
a second one was held at Cuyahoga Community College,
Cleveland, with 15 teachers in attendance. ASM extends spe-
cial thanks to our sponsors and hosts, including the Leonard
Gelfand Center for Service, Learning and Outreach, America
Makes, CarnegieMellonUniversity, Penn State, andCuyahoga
Community College.
FROM THE
PRESIDENT’S DESK
My ASM Year
As I write this column, stu-
dentsarebackoncampusandmy
once-quiet office is busy again.
My days are filled with meetings,
lectures, and class preparations.
At the same time, my year as ASM
President is drawing to a close. I
would now like to take some time
to reflect on the past year.
I could tell you about the
many Chapter visits I made over the past year (eight
and counting), my pizza lunches with Material Advan-
tage Chapters, or my visits at Materials Camps for both
students and teachers. I also kept in touch with my ASM
Cleveland Chapter and attended the annual dinner-
theater social, an Indians game, and an interesting sym-
posium on high precision machining. I put together a cou-
ple of new technical talks, one for the ASM Eastern New
York technical symposium on materials degradation, and
the other for an electronics equipment manufacturer for a
“voice of the customer” presentation on trends in materi-
als research.
Duringmy travels, I took the time to seekout andmeet
with members and volunteers and I am optimistic about
the future of ASM. I found our members to be individuals
passionate about their Society, curious about materials
and their role in making a better world, and proud of their
profession. One of my favorite afternoons was spent visit-
ing Bob Halverstadt, a lifelong ASM member, still serving
on the ASM Foundation Board at 95. He wanted to make
sure that ASM continues its commitment to lifelong learn-
ing and workforce development. What a pleasure it was
to get his perspective and see his dedication to ASM. I am
glad to have met him and was sad to hear of his passing.
My year as ASM President also involved helping to
identify and hire new staff leadership capable of assist-
ing our Society to be greater in its next century. The ASM
volunteers involved in the selection process feel positive
about the result, and we are looking forward to Terry
Mosier’s leadership. Thank you all for a wonderful year.
