Social Hour sponsored by Stanley P Rockwell Co. Reservations: Linda or Kevin at Dynamic Metals (860) 583-3336 by noon Nov 8th Please call with your reservation! Abstract: An overview of the Hot Isostatic Pressing Process (HIP) will be presented, with the effects of porosity on the mechanical properties of metals discussed. Covered will be advantages and disadvantages of the process, and capabilities illustrated through selected case studies. Examples will include the "healing" of solidification porosity in castings, the production of complex powder metallurgy near net shapes, diffusion bonding of metals, and microstructural refinement of materials within the HIP vessel. About the Speaker: Stephen Mashl joined Bodycote IMT, Inc. in 1998 as Manager of Research and Development. Steve provides technical support to Bodycote's four, North American HIP facilities and customers. The Bodycote R&D group is conducting studies on novel applications of isostatic densification processes. Steve obtained his BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in Metallurgical Engineering from Michigan Technological University. He worked 5 years in the steel making industry as a metallurgical engineer, quality supervisor, and melting supervisor. Graduate studies and research positions at the US Dept. of Energy - Ames Laboratory, Ames, Iowa and the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C. have concentrated on various aspects of powder metallurgy processing as well as liquid-particulate solidification.

Letter
from The chairperson Dear Members: Our apologies for the Macrogram not reaching you in time last month. We hope to have this problem squared away for future issues. Thanks to those of you who called to say you missed it – it must mean it’s getting read! If you would like to be added to our Macrogram e-mail distribution, please e-mail your request to our Webmaster. Also, thanks to Arnie who serves as webmaster, our web site is running and ready for commerce. Please point your browser to www.asm-hartford.org for the latest chapter information, postings, and links to member companies and suppliers. Give it a try and let us know your comments or suggestions. For November’s meeting, we are getting back to a format that we’ve missed in the past, which is the Stanley P Rockwell memorial lecture. If you haven’t attended a meeting in a while, why not plan to attend, and check out the crafted brews and great food at the Troutbrook. We know that regular attendees come for the comfortable atmosphere, and to keep up contacts with their fellow professionals. Our thanks to Dan Kay of Dan Kay Associates for his presentation on brazing last month. Those who came will never be able to look at silverware the same again. Also, thanks again to last month’s sponsor of the social hour – Specialty Steel Treating Inc. We welcome the latest member to join the executive committee – Humberto Raposo of Carpenter Specialty Alloys.As always, please contact any of the executive committee with your comments or suggestions, as we really do need to hear from you. With best regards, Joe Kubinski Executive Committee
