ASM International, formerly known as the American Society for Metals, is an association of materials-centric engineers and scientists.

As the charitable arm of ASM, the ASM Materials Education Foundation also operates ASM Materials Camp in the summers for high school students and teachers. These camps are intended to educate the public about the materials field, and encourage young people to pursue careers in materials science and engineering.{{Cite web |url=http://www.cleveland.com/west-geauga/index.ssf/2013/07/asm_international_camp_in_russ.html |title=ASM International camp in Russell is a hit |date=July 26, 2013 |access-date=January 23, 2014 |archive-date=February 2, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202115422/http://www.cleveland.com/west-geauga/index.ssf/2013/07/asm_international_camp_in_russ.html |url-status=live }}

History

ASM has been in existence, under various names, since 1913, when it began as a local club in Detroit called the Steel Treaters Club.{{Citation |author=ASM International |title=History of ASM |url=http://www.asminternational.org/about/history |access-date=May 18, 2014 |postscript=. |archive-date=July 7, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220707063942/https://www.asminternational.org/about/history |url-status=live }} During World War I, the Steel Treaters Club became the Steel Treating Research Society, with groups in Detroit, Chicago, and Cleveland. After World War I, the Chicago group seceded and formed the American Steel Treaters Society.

In 1920 the local chapters were reunified into the new American Society for Steel Treating (ASST). The society expanded its technical scope beyond steel during the 1920s. In 1933 it became the American Society for Metals (ASM).

Gradually the society expanded its geographic scope beyond the U.S. and its technical scope beyond metals to include other materials. It became known as ASM International in 1986. {{As of|2021}}, ASM claims 20,000 members worldwide.

ASM provides several information resources, including technical journals, books, and databases. ASM also hosts numerous international conferences each year, including ASM's Annual Meeting: International Materials, Applications, and Technologies Conference and Exposition (IMAT).{{cite web |title=Events |url=https://www.asminternational.org/conferences/main |access-date=December 4, 2022 |website=ASM International |archive-date=December 4, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204063011/https://www.asminternational.org/conferences/main |url-status=live }}

Affiliate Societies

Six affiliate societies focused on specific areas of materials science also fall under the ASM umbrella:

  • The Heat Treating Society (HTS),
  • The Thermal Spray Society (TSS),
  • The International Metallographic Society (IMS),
  • The Electronic Device Failure Analysis Society (EDFAS),
  • The Failure Analysis Society (FAS), and
  • The International Organization on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technology (SMST).{{cite web |title=Affiliate Societies |url=https://www.asminternational.org/societies/affiliate-societies |access-date=December 4, 2022 |website=ASM International |archive-date=December 4, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204063011/https://www.asminternational.org/societies/affiliate-societies |url-status=live }}

Each society is led by volunteers, produces specific technical content for members, and holds its own international event.

Journals

Technical journals published on behalf of ASM include:{{cite web |title=Journals |url=https://www.asminternational.org/materials-resources/journals |access-date=December 30, 2022 |website=ASM International |archive-date=December 4, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204063006/https://www.asminternational.org/materials-resources/journals |url-status=live }}
