INTERNATIONAL
METALLOGRAPHIC
CONTEST: FIRST TIME
AT MS&T
Deadline: September 26
The International Metallographic Contest (IMC), an
annual contest cosponsored by the International Metal-
lographic Society (IMS) and ASM International to advance
the science of microstructural analysis, is heading to MS&T
this year. In celebration of its 50th anniversary, IMS is tak-
ing the IMC to Pittsburgh, October 8-12, to share the excite-
ment of the contest with all MS&T attendees. Five different
classes of competition cover all fields of optical and elec-
tron microscopy:
Class 1: Optical Microscopy—All Materials
Class 2: Electron Microscopy—All Materials
Class 3: Student Entries—All Materials
(Undergraduate or Graduate Students Only)
Class 4: Artistic Microscopy (Color)—All Materials
Class 5: Artistic Microscopy (Black & White)—
All Materials
Best-In-Show receives the most prestigious award
available in the field of metallography, the Jacquet-Lucas
IMC 2016 poster display.
Award, which includes a cash prize of $3000. For a complete
description of the rules, tips for creating a winning entry,
and judging guidelines, visit metallography.net.
In addition, IMS will hold a special full-day sympo-
sium at MS&T17 celebrating 50 years of metallography and
materials characterization. The symposium will honor past
recipients of the Henry Clifton Sorby Award, IMS Buehler
Technical Paper of Merit Award, and Jacquet-Lucas Award.

NEW TECHNICAL BOOKS
Aluminum-Silicon Casting Alloys:
Atlas of Microstructures
“Aluminum-Silicon Cast-
ing Alloys: Atlas of Microstruc-
tures” by Małgorzata Warmuzek
is a practical tool for visually
analyzing microscopic images
of the microstructure of alumi-
num casting alloys, as examined
during routine laboratory proce-
dures. The gallery of microstruc-
ture images presented in this
atlas has been selected and sys-
tematically arranged with two
main goals in mind:
• To help the reader who has an image of an alloy mi-
crostructure identify the examined alloy in a gallery of
standard casting Al-Si alloys
• To help the reader identify the typical microstructure of
an alloy based on its estimated cooling rate
