Additional information

GEORGE ELDIS, a native of Detroit, Michigan, received both his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After two years of post-graduate work at the Max-Planck-Institut in Stuttgart, West Germany, he joined the Climax Molybdenum Co. in 1973, where he worked on low alloy construction steels. Since January 1977, he has been a Research Supervisor and active in HSLA steel development.
