Dr. Alton Tabereaux, retired from Alcoa a long time ago, never quits the industry. He continues to be active in smelting technology advancement, and in serving the aluminum industry and light metals community in particular. He is world renown not only for his technical contributions to aluminum smelting technology, equally important also for his dedication in teaching and training younger generations, providing consultancy and technical support to operations. He serves the light metal industry with unique technical background and knowledge skills in areas from environment protection, helping to stewardship government policies, to strengthening aluminum society. In this special tribute session, I am humbly honored to present and for us together to renew our learning of Alton and his major technical achievements – looking back from his very early career as a young scientist at Reynolds Metal Co to later becoming the world renown industry icon. |
