Affiliate Societies

ASM membership connects you to the global materials community. Many members also choose to engage more deeply in specialized technical fields through ASM Affiliate Societies.  Affiliate Societies provide focused technical programming, leadership opportunities, and communities dedicated to specific materials disciplines.

You may join an Affiliate Society when you join or renew your membership with ASM International. If you wish to add an affiliate membership at any other time, please contact Member Services.
