ASM International (society)

ASM has been in existence, under various names, since 1913, when it began as a local club in Detroit called the Steel Treaters Club. During World War I, the Steel Treaters Club became the Steel Treating Research Society, with groups in Detroit, Chicago, and Cleveland. == Affiliate Societies ==

Six affiliate societies focused on specific areas of materials science also fall under the ASM umbrella: • The Heat Treating Society (HTS), • The Thermal Spray Society (TSS), • The International Metallographic Society (IMS), • The Electronic Device Failure Analysis Society (EDFAS), • The Failure Analysis Society (FAS), and • The International Organization on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technology (SMST). Each society is led by volunteers, produces specific technical content for members, and holds its own international event. == Journals ==

Technical journals published on behalf of ASM include: • Alloy Digest • International Materials Reviews (IMR) • Journal of Failure Analysis & Prevention (JFAP) • Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance (JMEP) • Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion (JPED) • Journal of Thermal Spray Technology (JTST) • Metallography, Microstructure, and Analysis (MMA) • Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A and B (MetTransA & MetTransB) • Shape Memory and Superelasticity. ==See also==
