October 4—8 • Greater Columbus Convention Center, Columbus, Ohio
ASM/TMS Joint Distinguished Lecture
in Materials and Society
“What is a Splendid Leader?”
Vincent J. Russo, FASM, Executive
Director, Aeronautical Systems Center
(ASC), Wright-Patterson AFB,
Ohio (Retired)
The desirability for lead-
ers of major organizations
to possess an engineering
education seems to be
growing daily. But unfor-
tunately, the vast majority
of engineers are seldom trained to be ef-
fective leaders. This talk is structured to
help engineers understand a leadership
framework that can be applied to every
level of an organization. The framework
is identified in the following four pillars:
Behavior Realities; Leadership Tenets;
Essence of Leaders; and Life Balance.
The talk will explain the four pillars and
offer tools for use by potential and cur-
rent leaders. Leadership can be learned;
it just takes dedication, study, and hard
work. A full treatment of leading tech-
nical organizations can be found in the
book
The Splendid Leader.

“A Complete Theory for Martensitic
Transformations”
Harry Bhadeshia, FRS FREng FNAE,
Tata Steel Professor of Metallurgy and
director, SKF Steel Technology Centre,
University of Cambridge, UK
The crystallographic theo-
ry of martensitic transfor-
mations is so well tested
and tried that it does not
require attention. How-
ever, the response of the
transformation to variables such as
stress, elastic and plastic strain, mechan-
ical stabilization, austenite grain size
effects, austenite grain shape effects,
crystallographic texture, and stimuli
such as magnetic and electrical fields
has only recently been expressed quanti-
tatively. Bhadeshia will demonstrate the
“complete theory” that permits quantita-
tive prediction of the effect of all of these
variables on martensitic transforma-
tions in steels. Further, he will show that
the martensite transformation is rightly
classified as the most understood of all
solid-state phase changes in steels.

Lecture
“Space: The Materials Frontier”
Sylvia M. Johnson, Ph.D., chief materials
technologist, Entry Systems and Technol-
ogy Division, NASA Ames Research Center
Space environments place
tremendous demands on
materials that must per-
form with exceptional reli-
ability to realize the goals
of robotic or human space
exploration missions. Materials are sub-
jected to extremes of temperature, pres-
sure, radiation, and mechanical loads
during all phases of use, including take-
off and ascent, exposure to space or en-
try into an atmosphere, and operation in
a planetary atmosphere. Spacematerials
must be robust and enable the formation
of lightweight structures or components
that perform the required functions; ma-
terials that perform multiple functions
are of particular interest. This talk will
review the unique challenges for materi-
als in space and some of the specific ma-
terial capabilities that will be needed for
future exploration missions. A detailed
description of needs and trends in ther-
mal protection materials and systems
will complete the talk.
Designed by internationally recognized architect Peter Eisenman, the Greater Columbus
Convention Center is home to this year’s Materials Science and Technology Conference and
Exhibition, October 4–8.
