MARCUS A. GROSSMANN YOUNG AUTHOR AWARD
The Marcus A. Grossmann Young Author Award was established in 1960 in memory
of an eminent metallurgist, research director and author, who was President of ASM
in 1944, to honor the author (or authors) under 40 years of age whose paper has
been selected as the best of those published in a specific volume of Metallurgical and
Materials Transactions. Dr. Grossmann was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio,
where the steel mills lured him into metallurgy. He was interested in “pure” research
and made eight trips across the Atlantic to keep abreast of continental steelmaking
methods and metallurgical advances. In his later years he endeavored to strike an even
balance between primary fundamental research and practical application. His technical
papers and books, in addition to being notable contributions of important knowledge,
inspired much further research by many others.

HENRY MARION HOWE MEDAL
Of the medal awards conferred periodically by ASM, the Henry Marion Howe Medal
is the oldest; it was established in 1923 and is awarded in memory of a distinguished
teacher, writer, metallurgist and consultant, to honor the author (or authors) whose paper
has been selected as the best of those published in a specific volume of Metallurgical
and Materials Transactions.
Henry Marion Howe, Honorary Member of ASM, whose memory is thus perpetuated,
was born in Boston on 2 March 1848. With a preliminary education at the Boston Latin
School, he graduated as A.B. from Harvard in 1869 and with a degree corresponding
to B.S. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1871. Harvard awarded him
the degrees of A.M. in 1872 and LL.D. in 1905. In the years 1872 to 1882, he held
executive positions with a number of steel mills and with copper and nickel plants.
In 1882, he opened an office in Boston as a consulting metallurgist and lectured on
metallurgy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1883 to 1897. He became
Professor of Metallurgy at Columbia University in 1897, and held this position until
1913, serving as Professor Emeritus from 1913 until his death on 14 May 1922. Dr.
Howe’s chief contribution to the scientific world was his development of the science of
metallography, as a result of his great powers of observation and deduction. His ability
to correlate and interpret each discovery and investigation by others and supplement
them by investigations of his own resulted in the establishment of a new science dealing
with the constitution of iron and steel.

ALLAN RAY PUTNAM SERVICE AWARD
The Allan Ray Putnam Award was established in 1988 to recognize the exemplary
efforts of various outstanding members of ASM International on behalf of the Society to
further its objectives and goals. The vitality and success of ASM depends on its mem-
bers and their willingness to contribute their time and talents for the good of the Society.
The purpose of this award is to recognize those individuals whose contributions have
been especially noteworthy and to whom the Society owes a particularly
great debt of appreciation.
Allan Ray Putnam was the Managing Director of ASM between 1959 and 1983.
He was the Society’s most visible spokesman for those many years and “Mr. ASM” to
many. Mr. Putnam’s unique talents were apparent to all those who came in contact with
him and were of invaluable worth to the society.
The 2013 Recipient of the Allan Ray Putnam Service Award is:
“For continued service to ASM and the materials community through his
research and publications furthering the understanding of titanium metallurgy
and continuous commitments to the furtherance of ASM through committee
activities.”
Mr. Rodney Boyer, FASM is a titanium specialist who has been involved in basic
research, development and application of titanium alloys for airframes since 1965. His
efforts have been directed toward furthering the understanding of the metallurgy of
titanium, i.e., the effects of processing variations, resulting in microstructural variations,
on the properties of titanium alloys. He has done research on all product forms
used on aircraft, and studied almost all of the processes involved in the fabrication
of titanium components, from mill processing to machining and chemical processing.
His efforts have led to the implementation of several new technologies on Boeing
(and other) aircraft, including, high strength Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al forgings (used at the 173
ksi strength level), Ti-3Al-8V-6Cr-4Mo-4Zr springs, Ti-15V-3Cr-3Al-3Sn high strength
castings and clock springs, titanium wear coatings on bearing surfaces, Ti-15V-3Cr-
3Al-3Sn pneumatic ducts, Ti-6Al-2Sn-2Zr-2Mo-2Cr forgings and Beta 21S nacelle
components. The latter was an interesting experience in that it normally takes 10–20
years from the development of a new material to its production implementation. In this
instance it was about three years. This meant that much of the process development,
such as chemical processing, heat treating and welding, were being developed as
production components were being built. The above achievements were all first put
into production at Boeing through the efforts of Mr. Boyer. Implementation of each of
these technologies involved Mr. Boyer leading a team of Boeing and multiple industry

participants. During this time he was responsible for all of the titanium processing
and procurement specifications, directing the company IR&D efforts, supporting any
titanium fabrication or fleet problems, and qualification of new sources.
He directed the industrial effort on titanium alloy development for the NASA sponsored
High Speed Civil Transport Program, is and has been involved in several Air Force
sponsored Materials Affordability Initiative Programs.
He has co-edited six books, the most notable being the Titanium Alloys Materials
Properties Handbook published by ASM. He has over 250 technical presentations and
publications, including 35 invited presentations at regional, national and international
levels, with seven plenary/keynote presentations at the national level and eleven at
international symposia.

WILLIAM HUNT EISENMAN AWARD
The William Hunt Eisenman Award was established in 1960, in memory of a found-
ing member of ASM, and its first and only secretary for 40 years. It recognizes unusual
achievements in industry in the practical application of materials science and engineer-
ing through production or engineering use.
Mr. Eisenman concentrated his great abilities on the creation of services that would
increase the importance of the ASM member to industry. He was acutely aware of the
need for suitable recognition and communication of the practical aspects of metal-
lurgy. His capacity for vision and execution are exemplified by the imaginative World
Headquarters structure of the Society shown on the award plaque which stands today
at Materials Park, Ohio.
Mr. Eisenman was totally dedicated to the Society and its work and in that connection
set forth this creed: “To create and accomplish, we must have faith in ASM as an in-
strumentality through which all of us, recognizing that the security and welfare of our
civilization depend increasingly on the advancement of scientific knowledge, will have
an opportunity to serve humanity, our industry and our country.”
