Abstract

Raymond R Fessler Manager Physical and Applied Metallurgy Section BatelleColumbus is responsible for research on the physical metallurgy of steels hightemperature alloys and nonferrous metals as well as melting and casting technology and optical and electron metallography Dr Fessler obtained his BS in metallurgical engineering from Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1961 and his ScD in metallurgy from MIT in 1965 Since joining the Battelle staff in 1965 his principal research assignment has involved coordinating and directing research regarding stresscorrosion cracking in pipelines Recently he has participated in the project sponsored by the National Science Foundation that involves cooperative research with scientists from the USSR on the production by plasmaarc remelting and the processing of a new type of stainless steel He also has conducted numerous failureanalysis research programs on a variety of steel products including transmission pipe valves gears automotive components ships and chemicalplant equipment Additional studies have included investigation of hydrogen in steel processing and heattreatment of structural steel continuous casting of steel and various manufacturing problems related to steel productsAllan H Clauer received his BS and MS in metallurgical engineering from the University of Wisconsin and his PhD in metallurgy from Ohio State University He joined Battelle’s Columbus Laboratories in 1960 in 1972 he was visiting scientist at the Danish Atomic Energy Laboratory Riso He became Associate Section Manager of the Metal Science Section at Battelle in 1974 Most of his research has been concerned with studies of the hightemperature mechanical properties of metals and oxides Recently he has also become involved in research on laser processing of metals particularly laser shock hardening He is a member of AIME ASM and ACSAlbert L Hoffmanner joined Battelle’s Columbus Laboratories in 1974 as As sociate Manager Metalworking Section In early 1978 he was promoted to Research Leader Engineering and Manufacturing Technology Department In both positions he has directed and managed research activities on metalworking metal removal and the design and optimization of manufacturing systems Prior to Battelle he had performed similar work at TRW IncHe is currently Secretary of the TMS AIME Shaping and Forming Committee and formerly was its Chairman One of his AIME activities was the 1970 Symposium on Metal Forming The Interrelation Between Theory and Practice in which he was the Symposium Chairman and Editor of the book on the proceedings Dr Hoffmanner is a member of ASM AIME and has served on two recent National Materials Advisory BoardsE Ellis Fletcher is a Research Metallurgist at Battelle’s Columbus Laboratories He has been with the contractresearch organization since he received his Met E degree from Colorado School of Mines in 1944 Mr Fletcher has participated in numerous research investigations in the areas of physical and applied metallurgy primarily associated with ferrous alloys Other research interests include magnetic materials and the effects of hydrogen on the properties and fracture behavior of steels
