Conclusions

The passage of “materials time” has been marked by increasing complexity in product fabrication and greater sophistication in product performance. The responsibility of defect engineers is to “make anything possible” by finding the correct process path. They innovatively apply the existing knowledge base and creatively expand it in frontier applications. The history of success provides a growing challenge with abundant opportunities.
