Excerpt

As this issue of MMA goes to print, we are only a few months away from the 2017 MS&T conference, and the special symposium honoring the 50th anniversary of the founding of the International Metallographic Society. This symposium was created to recognize previous IMS award recipients, and the final lineup of presenters is truly impressive. This year’s Henry Clifton Sorby Award recipient, Professor Sir Colin Humphreys, will lead off the first session with a talk entitled “How Microscopy Can Help to Save Energy, Save Lives, Create Jobs, and Improve Our Health.” Throughout the course of this symposium, there will be presentations from seven previous Henry Clifton Sorby Award recipients, with topics including the following: In addition, several previous Jacquet–Lucas Award recipients will be presenting at the symposium and the topics for these talks illustrate the wide variety of research underway in our community. Symposium attendees will learn about metallography of kinetically activated bainitic (KAB) steels, closed-cell gas reactions of MEMs materials in the transmission electron microscope, and microstructure analysis of copper–niobium nano-laminates.
