ASM International was founded in 1913 and became known as the American Society for Metals. Today ASM International is the world's largest association of materials-focused engineers, scientists, technicians, educators, and students. A member and volunteer based organization, ASM International serves as a central resource that gathers the latest applied information from the field and disseminates it

back to industry, academia, and government through published content, classes, conferences, expositions, and local chapter engagement. By acting as a catalyst for vigorous professional activities, ASM International fuels a passionate sense of community, energizes members to aspire to new levels of success and satisfaction, advances the development of materials, and ultimately elevates the importance of our professions.

Image of the Month: Been Through a Caterpillar

This image was the first-place winner in Class 5 (Artistic Microscopy–Black & White) at the 2025 International Metallographic Contest that was held in Detroit on October 19, 2025.

The image titled, “Been Through a Caterpillar,” was captured at 640x. It shows pollen and other plant matter, partially digested, that has passed through a caterpillar. Congratulations to the contributor, Michelle Chambers, SEM technician at EuroFins EAG Laboratories in El Segundo, Calif.

ASM Member Spotlight: Kyle Huettl

Kyle has spent his entire career working with materials, particularly steel. A drive to understand why materials behave the way they do drew him deep into materials science, with ASM International courses building much of that foundation.

ASM has been instrumental in bridging his hands-on experience with materials science fundamentals. The intersection of analysis, materials knowledge, and real-world results is what Kyle finds most rewarding about his work.

Network with Kyle on ASM CONNECT and meet other industry professionals.

Not every failure has an obvious answer 🔍

This week’s ASM Materials Minute spotlights students Ethan Huart and Arthur Lecocq from Université de Mons and their investigation into the corrosion of a copper thermowell.

What started as suspected material degradation turned into a deeper analysis involving an unknown water source.

Because in failure analysis, the missing piece isn’t always easy to find.
