Behavior of Metal Alloys in the Semisolid State
MERTON C. FLEMINGS
The Edward DeMilte Campbell Memorial Lecture was established in 1926 as an annual lecture in memory of and in recognition o f the outstanding scientific contributions to the metallurgical profession by a distinguished educator who was blind for all but two years of his professional life. It recognizes demonstrated ability in metallurgical science and engineering. Melton C. Flemings received his S.B. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the Department of Metallurgy in 1951. He received his S.M. and Sc.D. degrees, also in Metallurgy, in 1952 and 1954, respectively. From 1954 to 1956, he was employed as Metallurgist at Abex Corporation, Mahwah, New Jersey, and in 1956 returned to MIT as Assistant Professor. He was appointed Associate Professor in 1961 and Professor in 1969. In 1970, he was appointed Abex Professor of Metallurgy. In 1975, he became Ford Professor of Engineering and, in 1981, Toyota Professor of Materials Processing. He initiated and became the first director of the Materials Processing Center in 1979, and in 1982, he became Head, Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Professor Flemings is active in undergraduate and graduate teaching and research in materials science and engineering. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and of the American Academy of Arts and Science. He is author or co-author of 240 papers, 19 patents, and two books in the fields of solidification science and engineering, foundry technology, and materials processing. He received the Simpson Gold Medal from the American Foundrymen's Society in 1961 and the Mathewson Gold Medal TMS in 1969. In 1977, he was awarded the Henri Sainte-Claire Deville Medal by the Societe Francaise de Metallurgie. In October 1978, he received the Albert Sauveur Achievement Award from ASM INTERNATIONAL. In 1980, he received the John Chipman Award from AIME. In 1984, he was elected an honorary member of the Japan Foundrymen's Society and, in 1985, received the James Douglas Gold Medal from AIME. The Italian Metallurgical Association awarded him the Luigi Losana Gold Medal in 1986, and he was elected honorary member METALLURGICAL TRANSACTIONS A
of The Japan Iron and Steel Institute of Japan in 1987. He was elected a TMS Fellow in 1989 and received the TMS Leadership Award in 1990. Professor Flemings' research and teaching concentrate on engineering fundamentals of materials processing and on innovation of materials processing operations. He has worked closely with industry and industrial problems throughout his professional career. The focus of his current activities is the broadening and strengthening of the academic program of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at M1T. In addition, he is active nationally in strengthening the field and in delineation of new directions for the field. He was co-chairman of a recently completed national study on Materials Science and Engineering, sponsored by the National Research Council, a
