ASM International 2017
Buehler Supports ASM World Training Center with Metallographic and Test Equipment Buehler, an ITW Company in Lake Bluff, Ill., has renewed its collaboration with ASM by supporting the ASM World Training Center with new metallographic and test instruments. Through this continuing effort, ASM will include Buehler’s newest metallographic preparation equipment: the EcoMet 300 Polisher/Grinder, the IsoMet High Speed precision saw, and the SimpliMet 4000 duplex mounting press. Also included are Buehler’s industry-leading Wilson VH Series hardness testing instruments with automated DiaMet software. A multitude of consumables, from abrasive discs to epoxies to hardness blocks, will all be available at the ASM Training Center. ASM will use the new instruments in advanced metallography training courses designed to teach participants about high-precision manufacturing and materials testing techniques. Dedicated to informing, educating, and connecting the materials community to solve problems and stimulate innovation around the world, ASM International offers education courses providing hands-on training with stateof-the-art equipment from Buehler and other ASM partners. Advanced metallography and materials science courses are taught by industry veterans and academic leaders at the ASM Training Center and at customer sites, as well as through online courses and web content. ‘‘This ongoing partnership will allow ASM to expand existing

content and enhance the experience for both instructors and professionals within the industrial market space we all serve,’’ says John Cerne, Senior Manager Education at ASM. For more information: www.buehler.com; www. asminternational.org.
Consider Volunteering for Materials Camp ‘‘To excite young people (K-12) in materials, science and engineering careers’’ is the mission of the ASM Foundation. Working toward this goal, the first ASM Foundation Materials Camp, the ASM Eisenman Materials Camp, was
J Fail. Anal. and Preven. (2017) 17:654–655
established in 2000. Since then, 13,356 students have been reached at 319 camps across the country and overseas. Volunteers working with these high school-level youth have greatly contributed to these students’ understanding of materials science, engineering, and metallography. Readers of this publication are invited to consider volunteering time, even just a few hours, at an ASM Materials Camp. Recent attendees/graduates share from their experiences at Materials Camp: •
‘‘It has been almost three years since my first encounter with materials science and engineering at the Eisenman Camp, and I can safely say that my interest has sparked a thirst for knowledge. I am currently majoring in materials science and engineering and I am so excited to continue delving deeper into the topic of materials. I am so grateful to the Eisenman Camp for jump starting my passion in materials and I hope that this camp continues to inspire young individuals in pursuing a career in materials science and engineering.’’
