The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Founding of the ASME Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology

Abstract

As the Editor-in-Chief for the ASME Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology and on behalf of the global research communities, we are honored to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the ASME Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology. The journal has been in existence since 1973, and it is associated with the Materials Division of ASME. The founding of the Journal coincided with the transition of the Metals Division to the Materials Division. The Journal is one of the oldest scientific and engineering journals that is focused on material science and mechanics of materials. We are indebted to the selfless service of all the previous editors, associate editors, and ASME staff, and especially, to the first Editor, Professor Ian Le May of the University of Saskatchewan.
