| Abstract Scope |
To honor the intent of the Hollomon Award, this lecture will focus on the research accomplishments and technology adoption examples that highlight the Materials and Society theme of the 4-decade career that I am grateful to have shared with my students and colleagues. One of our major accomplishments is the invention of a widely adopted, environmentally friendly, Pb-free solder for electronic joining. Development is now underway of a metal-metal (Al/Ca) composite conductor for more efficient high voltage (especially DC) overhead transmission lines. Investigations of a gas atomization reaction synthesis (GARS) method are on-going in our Lab to produce alloy powder that is transformed into oxide dispersion strengthened alloys for radiation tolerant applications in C-free nuclear fission and fusion and for high temperature hydrogen-fueled turbines. We are also working on powder processing of permanent magnet alloys with rare earths and RE-free to expand the supply of critical materials for electric vehicles. |
