Additional information

Edmund C. Franz is with the Physical Metallurgy Division of Alcoa Laboratories. Associated with Alcoa over 25 years, he was 1970–71 Chairman of the Pittsburgh G. T. Chapter, ASM and served as Co-Chairman and Proceedings Editor of the 1973 Pittsburgh International Conference on Aluminum Industrial Products. Present activities include aluminum alloy and process development for the building, transporlation, and aerospace industries.

Robert D. B1ackburn received his B.S. in Metollurgy in 1965 from Penn State Univ., M.S. in Metallurgical Engineering in 1968 from Ohio State Univ., and Ph.D. in Metallurgy from Penn State Univ. in 1970. He joined Alcoa Laboratories in 1970 and has worked on development of aluminum altoys and joining processes. Currently Group Leader in the joining Division, he supervises brazing and soldering development programs.

W. Thomas Evans received his B.S. (1966) and M.S. (1969) in chemistry from Indiana Univ. Pa. During 1966–69 he researched titanium corrosion at Carnegie-Mellon and solid propellent missile fuel at Allegheny 8allistics Laboratory. Joining Alcoa Laboratories’ Finishes Division in 1969, his current research interest lies in surface chemistry of aluminum as it relates to organic and inorganic coatings.
