NEXT MEETING
Febuary 17, 2022, 7:00-8:15PM (EST)
featuring
👩🏻‍🎓Dr. Jannatun Nawer (15 min)
Postdoctoral Fellow, TUFTS University, MA
"Investigating Materials Property Measurement in Space"
followed by
Dr. Andy Perry (60 min)
Principal Engineer of Additive Materials, GE Aviation, MA
"Materials Application Engineering for
​Powder-Bed Manufactured Aerospace Components​"

Materials Application Engineers are responsible for having a deep understanding of the complex interactions between material composition, material processing, and material properties. For a Materials Engineer that is responsible for powder-bed manufactured aerospace components, those interactions become even more complex and impactful, because of the relatively high degree that the additive manufacturing processes influence material capability and durability. From powder feedstock morphology to additive machine architecture and stability, and then to post processing and surface enhancement processes, the Materials Engineer must fully grasp the impact that each manufacturing step can have on the ultimate capability of their component. The three-dimensional complexity of additive components also puts forth inspectability challenges and reduced line-of-sight to some surfaces. The ability of additive manufacturing techniques to manufacture thin walled components (often with rough surfaces) creates the challenge of properly accounting for thickness-based mechanical property differences. And finally, the occurrence of material anomalies such as porosity, lack of fusion, and build-related cracking makes characterization of material properties and consideration of rogue features more challenging.​

Dr. Andy Perry is currently Principal Engineer for Additive Materials at GE Aviation (Lynn, MA), since 2017. He works to collaborate across partners at GE Aviation and GE Additive to drive materials development and materials processing strategies. He continuously seeks to capture and generalize lessons learned and best practices with additively manufactured components. Prior to working full time on Additive Materials, Andy was the Manager of the GE Aviation Lynn-based Materials Engineering Team and Laboratories from 2006 to 2017, and a Materials Application Engineer at GE from 2004-2006. Before coming to GE, Andy worked for Praxair Electronics (2000-2004) and Bethlehem Steel (1998-2000). Andy lives in North Andover, MA with his wife, three children, and two dogs.

The 100th anniversary of the Boston Chapter was Feb. 15, 2020, with a celebration planned for ​May 2022. This has been postponed due to COVID-19. We will be posting articles and photos from our past as well as updates about this momentous celebration!

"A special thank you goes out to Instron, JEOL, Dynamet Technology, Surmet, and Thermo Fisher Scientific for supporting this year's Materials Experience"

Is Your Company a Sustaining Member?

The ASM Boston chapter offers a chance to put your company logo on the front page of our web site right beside that of some of the leading firms in New England.  At the same time, your company will help us to reach out with our educational and networking efforts.

For an annual contribution of $200, sustaining members of the Boston chapter get to:
·       Show their logo on our web site home page and link to our web site
·       Advertise current job openings for materials engineering students and professionals in the Boston area
·       Submit short articles about their products and services

For the application form, see the Web Site of ASM International.  From the selections just below the logo choose Membership, and on the drop-down menu select Membership Detail.  On the right side of this page a series boxes appears; open the Chapter Sustaining Membership box (third box down) to submit the application form. You can also click here to reach directly this location.

The payment of the fee yields $110 to the Boston chapter.  Please contact Tom Auten when you join as a Sustaining Member at [email protected].  We are sincerely grateful.
