President of New ASM
Failure Analysis Society
Shares Insights
In April, ASM International
announced its latest affiliate soci-
ety, the Failure Analysis Society.
We recently spoke with Burak
Akyuz, the society’s first president,
about his hopes and dreams for
the new organization.
ASM:
What were some of the reasons for establishing
ASM’s new Failure Analysis Society (FAS)?
Akyuz:
The FAS emerged froman existing ASMcommit-
tee that has offered failure analysis programming and con-
tent for more than 15 years. Committee members decided
that a society dedicated to advancing the important role
of failure analysis and prevention in the materials science
industry would provide more opportunities to its members.
ASM:
Please describe the main goals of the new society.
Akyuz:
The society aims to promote safer, more reli-
able products and prevention of failures by studying the
many ways in which failures occur and to educate the larger
engineering, manufacturing, and user communities regard-
ing their findings. Our founding members have extensive
experience and knowledge of failure analysis and preven-
tion and they would love to share this with the industry,
including our emerging professionals.
ASM:
As the first president, what do you hope to
accomplish?
Akyuz
