EDITOR SPOTLIGHT Aquil Ahmad, FASM, and Leonard Bond offered their expertise as vol- ume editors of the revised ASM Handbook , Volume 17, Nondestructive Evalu- ation of Materials. The 2018 edition of Volume 17 is a completely revised and updated work written and reviewed by the leading experts in the field. Last published in 1989, the new Volume 17 provides detailed technical information that will enable readers to select, use, and interpret methods used to nonde- structively test and analyze engineered products and assemblies. As chief metallurgist for Eaton Corp. before he retired, Ahmad used NDT techniques and technologies for projects including ultrasonic testing for steel cleanliness, eddy current for flaws, the Barkhausen effect for residual stress, hardness, and austenite levels in steels, and others during his 40-year career. Bond served as director of the Center for Nondestructive Evaluation at Iowa State University from July 2012 to May 2018. He was previously a labo- ratory Fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Wash., and has held positions as an academic, in industry, and at national laboratories in both the U.S. and U.K. His technical work has fo- cused on ultrasonics and its applications, with more recent applications in advanced diagnostics and prognostics. Volume 17 includes more than 40 articles written by industry experts and is a valuable resource for engineers involved in NDE and those who want to learn more about the techniques. Ahmad Bond
