About ASM International
American Society for Metals was founded in 1913, in Detroit, Michigan, as the 'Steel Treaters Club'. This club was rechristened as American Society of Metals (ASM) in 1933 to deal with all aspects metals. In 1983, the Society expanded its technical scope, beyond metals, to include other engineered materials like composites, polymers, ceramics, and electronic materials. By 1986, the progress made was substantial towards the stated goal of becoming the world's society for engineered materials. That has led to change in name to ASM International. The Society's Head Quarters is in Materials Park, Ohio State, USA. (35 miles east of Cleveland in USA). Today, ASM is the world's largest association of metals-centric materials scientists and engineers with over 30,000 members worldwide. ASM is dedicated to informing, educating and connecting the materials community to solve problems and stimulate innovation around the world.
