The Peter G. Winchell Symposium on the Tempering of Steel
Foreword
At the Fall 1980 TMS-AIME meeting in Pittsburgh, Peter Winchell, a member of the Heat Treatment Committee, and I, a member of the Ferrous Metallurgy Committee, agreed that a symposium was needed to establish the state of the art in the theoretically and practically important area of tempering in steels. Thus, under the sponsorship of the two TMS-AIME committees, a symposium on tempering was planned for the Fall 1981 TMS-AIME meeting in Louisville. With the energy and prestige of Professor Winchell, the organization was proceeding smoothly when he died suddenly on January 12, 1981. At that time, his many friends and colleagues agreed to dedicate the symposium to Peter G. Winchell in recognition of his many research contributions, as eloquently described by Professor Morris Cohen in the opening paper of the symposium. Following Peter's death, Dr. Gilbert Speich agreed to become co-chairman and kept the planning on schedule by performing many important functions. The symposium was well attended and much lively discussion followed each presentation. A key contributor to the dialogue, both as a speaker and thoughtful discussant, was Professor Roy Kaplow, who unfortunately passed away on January 13, 1982. Roy was not able to finish his written manuscript, and in the last hour Dr. Nicholas DeCristofaro, a friend and former student of Roy's, stepped in to write the article on Mrssbauer studies of tempering, which is included in this collection of papers. The untimely deaths of Peter Winchell and Roy Kaplow remind us of the fragility of the gift of life. In contrast, this collection of papers is a lasting memorial to the lives and work of Peter and Roy, not only for their friends, colleagues, and contemporaries, but also for future generations of metallurgists and materials scientists. Twenty talks were presented in Louisville, and most of the authors chose also to submit written manuscripts. The lively discussions at the symposium were continued in the critical, constructive reviews of the submitted manuscripts. This rigorous process has produced, in keeping with the theme of the symposium,
