Welcome to the Akron, Ohio chapter of
ASM International.

Celebrating 60 Years 1948 – 2008
A FIVE STAR CHAPTER

ASM International is the society for materials engineers and scientists, a worldwide network dedicated to advancing industry, technology and applications of metals and materials.

The Akron Chapter of ASM International was founded in 1947 as a member of the American Society for Metals. Among these early members were heat treaters, foundrymen, die makers and others from the metal processing and allied service industries of the area. Our goal was the same as that of the National Society at that time – “To further the science and technology of metal working.”

The Akron ASM Chapter usually meets the 3rd Wednesday of the month. September through April, excluding December. Traditionally, September is Heat Treaters Night and February is Thermal Spray Night. We welcome and encourage guests to attend our meetings.

ASM International headquarters, Materials Park, Ohio, USA, often referred to as "The Dome." Conveniently located in Northeast Ohio.
