ASM-IIM North America Visiting Lectureship Dr. Ankur Chauhan, assistant professor, Extreme Environments Materials Group department of materials engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, India, will be one of this year’s lecturers. Prof. Chandan Srivastava, professor, department of materials engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, will be one of this year’s lecturers. Each year, many members of the Indian Institute of Materials (IIM) make brief visits to the United States and Canada. Following the success of the ASM-IIM Visiting Lectureship Program (established in 1979), ASM approached IIM to further promote international cooperation between professional societies, and to provide useful service to the materials community. As a result, ASM and the Indian Institute of Materials (IIM) jointly established and funded a new ASM-IIM program, effective in 2013, with a view to providing honoraria for qualified IIM members for travel to the United States and Canada. ASM Student Paper Contest Kingsley Amatanweze, graduate student, Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, will receive this year’s award for his paper entitled, “Residual Stress Distribution, Distortion, and Crack Initiation in Conventional and Intensive Quench Practices,” published in the J. Mat. Eng. Perform., Vol. 33, November 2023. The contest was established in 1985 as a mechanism for student participation in Society affairs. The award recognizes the best technical paper with a graduate or undergraduate student as first author that is published in an ASM-sponsored publication during the year.

Frick Coke Company and the United States Steel Corporation, Henry Clay became one of the wealthiest and most significant industrialists in American history.” In 1969, the ASM Historical Landmarks Designation was established to permanently identify the many sites and events that have played a prominent part in the discovery, development, and growth of metals and metalworking.
