Good news! Two leaders of our thermal spray community were elected ASM Fellows for their distinguished contributions to materials science and engineering. The 2015 recipients were honored at ASM’s annual Awards Dinner held last month in Columbus during Materials Science & Technology 2015 (MS&T’15).
Mr. Victor K. Champagne, Leader of the Center for Cold Spray at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, was recognized for serving as an international champion of cold spray technology through exemplary research, development, qualification, and persistent dedication to the implementation of cold spray technology throughout all sectors of industry and the DoD.
Dr. Petri Vuoristo, Professor at Tampere University of Technology, Finland was elected ASM Fellow for his continuous and dedicated contributions towards the advancement of thermal spray, cold spray, and laser cladding technologies worldwide through education and practice.
Congratulations Vic and Petri for this important well-deserved recognition!
