The first article published was entitled “Phase Relations in the Mo-Si-C System Rel- evant to the Processing of MoSi 2 -SiC Composites.” Clarke says, “I believe this series of papers helps to highlight the journal’s trajectory – it is rooted in understanding the links between struc- ture, processing, and properties, and had an early focus on metallurgy and metallic alloys, and is moving more broadly to include materials science.” Il Sohn, Yonsei University, Seoul, Republic of Korea “FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH ON REACTION, TRANSPORT, PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, AND COMPUTATIONAL MODELING WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT AREA IN THE JOURNAL.” — SOHN MMT will likely “include more conceptual and materials-agnostic approaches that support better pro- cesses: coupling equilibrium and non-equilibrium analysis of processes, coupling models and experiments, pro- viding simulations and models that are readily transferable across industries, laboratories, and materials systems,” says Antoine Allanore. “Advances in materials characterization tech- niques along with computer power are expected to provide renewed in- sight into materials processing and manufacturing.” Antoine Allanore, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass., USA “MMT WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE FINDINGS, METHODS, AND PRESENTATIONS THAT ARE TRANSFERABLE ACROSS SCALE, MATERIALS SYSTEMS AND TIME, INCLUDING THE MOST ADVANCED INSIGHTS IN EXISTING AND EVOLVING TECHNOLOGIES.” — ALLANORE Structure-Processing-Properties Focus Amy Clarke, FASM, looks to MMT ’s beginnings to pre- dict its future. The first article published in Metallurgical Transactions was entitled “On the Strength-Differential Phenomenon in Hardened Steel.” The first article in Metal- Amy J. Clarke, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, USA “OVER THE NEXT 50 YEARS, I EXPECT TO SEE MORE INTEGRATION BETWEEN MULTISCALE EXPERIMENTS AND MODELING, ICME, AND HIGH-THROUGHPUT EXPERIMENTS AND MODELING.” — CLARKE The editors agree that what separates MMT from other materials journals is its emphasis on structure, processing, and properties. “In my opinion, MMT will remain a ‘state-of- the-art’ journal in fields such as solid- ification, welding, and joining and in the general field of physical metallurgy, especially during processing (forging, casting, sintering),” says Cormier. Jonathan Cormier, ISAE-ENSMA, Futuroscope- Chasseneuil, France “MMT WILL REMAIN A ‘STATE-OF-THE-ART’ JOURNAL IN FIELDS SUCH AS SOLIDIFICATION, WELDING, AND JOINING AND IN THE GENERAL FIELD OF PHYSICAL METALLURGY, ESPECIALLY DURING PROCESSING.” — CORMIER Sridhar Seetharaman, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, USA Sridhar Seetharaman notes that as advancedmanufacturing techniques are developed, they still “require study of physical metallurgy, and materials metrology for certification.” “MMT has an established repu- tation of being a high-quality journal where research results are published on structural materials including met- als and alloys as well as non-metallic
