Technical Chair, Sunniva Collins

5:45 Social / Networking Time
6:30 Dinner
7:30 Presentation: Design and Application of Corrosion/ Wear-Resistant Alloys
Dr. Aziz I. Asphahani, President of Advanced Motion Technologies, Inc.

Design and Application of Corrosion/ Wear-Resistant Alloys
The combination of corrosive attack and wear degradation poses challenges to the safe and reliable performance of structural components in numerous industrial applications. The design concept of an alloy resistant to both corrosion and wear is outlined. The role of major alloying elements (e.g., Nickel, Cobalt) is illustrated, along with examples of successful applications in aggressive environments.

Plus, a special discussion on the ASM Materials Camp Programs
The 10-year progress and impact of the ASM Materials Camp programs are presented in terms of results in getting high-school students interested in learning Science and excited about Engineering careers.



Dr. Aziz I. Asphahani is presently serving as Senior Advisor to the "Corrosion Engineering" Curriculum development at the University of Akron and as Director-Fund Development of the ASM-Materials Education Foundation. He is President of Advanced Motion Technologies, Inc. (a Bio-mechanic start-up company). Dr. Asphahani served as President & CEO of CARUS Chemical Co. (1995-2006), following 19 years (1975-1994) in the Specialty Metals Industry with HAYNES International/CABVAL, where he served as CABVAL President, HAYNES Vice President, Director of R&D, and Corrosion Engineer.

Dr. Asphahani's degrees include "Diplome Ingenieur"-Physics from Ecole Centrale de Paris (1970) and Ph. D. in Materials Science from MIT (1975). He holds 8 patents, authored 61 papers on high alloys & corrosion control, and contributed numerous technical presentations at major conferences. Two of his patents won the 1984 VAALER Award and the 1991 R&D-100 Award. His patented alloy, HASTELLOY alloy C-22, has been extensively evaluated as the outer canister material to contain the nuclear waste to be stored in the Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Also, to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion, alloy C-22 flat beams were used to support the seven spokes in the crown of "Lady Liberty", during the 1980's repair of the Statue of Liberty.

Dr. Asphahani is a NACE-Fellow and ASM-Fellow. Dr. Asphahani served as NACE Director-1983, as ASM President-2001 and as ASM-Materials Education Foundation CHairman-2004.
