ASB Industries, Barberton, Ohio, announces that Charles Kay, ASB Vice President, was recognized as an ASM Fellow at the annual ASM Awards Banquet in October. The Award citation states, “For global technical leadership in innovative thermal spray technologies, mentoring thermal spray practitioners, and sustained dedicated volunteer service to the thermal spray community.”
In 1969, ASM established the Fellow of the Society honor to provide recognition to members for their distinguished contributions to materials science and engineering. Another goal was to develop a broadly based forum of technical and professional leaders who would serve as advisors to the society. The solicited guidance provided by the Fellows enables ASM to enhance its capability as a provider of relevant technical information to its community of materials scientists and engineers in the years ahead.
