Ferreira, Pistorius, Freuhan receive AIST award

The Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST) has announced the 2018 Jerry Silver Award to collaborative authors: MSE's doctoral candidate, Mauro Ferreira, and Professors Chris Pistorius and Richard Fruehan, for their work entitled, “Inclusion Size Distributions After Calcium Addition in LCAK Steels.”

Originally established in 1991, then re-established as an AIST award in 2005, this award was named in honor of Jerry Silver in recognition of his leadership in the development of student affairs and programs for the Iron & Steel Society. The award is presented to the author of a process metallurgy or product applications technical paper judged to be the best of class by the AIST Metallurgy Technology Division.

AIST will present the award to the authors at the AIST Metallurgy committee meeting — during the Materials Science & Technology (MS&T) 2018 conference, in Columbus, Ohio, in October.
