On Thursday, October 17, the ASM Philadelphia Liberty Bell Chapter held its annual William Hunt Eisenman Award night, honoring Jamie Jones with the prestigious prize. This makes him the third generation Jones to receive the award, a first in the Philadelphia Chapter’s history. Approximately 25 people attended the event, where the honoree gave a presentation on “Thermal Processing of Medical and Other Sensitive Materials in Vacuum.” Jones is currently vice chair of the Chapter. The William Hunt Eisenman Award was established in 1960 by ASM International. It recognizes unusual achieve- ments in industry in the practical application of materials science and engineering through production and engineer- ing usage. The Philadelphia Chapter’s historywith the award predates headquarters, as in 1957, Eisenman himself was the first recipient of the Chapter’s award. Eisenman was a founding member of the Society and its secretary for nearly 40 years. Sebastian Visits Bluegrass Chapter As part of an ASM Trustee Visit, Jason Sebastian pre- sented a talk on “New High Performance Alloys Designed Specifically for Additive Manufacturing Processes” at an ASM Bluegrass Chapter meeting on October 15. In addition to great attendance by Chapter members, the University of Kentucky Material Advantage Chapter was also well repre- sented.

Frosh Week at Ryerson Houston Hosts Oktoberfest The ASM Houston Chapter hosted its annual Oktoberfest meeting, the most popular event of the year, at St. Arnolds Brewery. Attendees not only enjoyed the technical presentation and net- working opportunities but were able to get a first-hand look at the beer making process while feast- ing on traditional German food. Michael Pendley (pictured), general manager of National Heat Treat, gave a presentation entitled “Secrets of the Heat Treating Industry.” Pendley covered a number of interesting topics including things your heat treater wants you to know, heat treating hacks for manufacturing mistakes, and how to choose a heat treater. The presentation was enthusiastically received by more than 100 attendees. CHAPTERS IN THE NEWS
