AIST Benjamin F. Fairless Award (AIME)


2008 Andrew Green, David Naylor, Ruth Hambleton, Ian Christmas – founders of steeluniversity.org “For their dedication to the creation of steeluniversity.com, an innovative and universal steel education Web site which has become a valuable resource for the promotion of steel and steel education by introducing students of all ages to the many diverse attributes of steel.”
2007 Allan Smillie "For his boundless energy and determination to advance the understanding of secondary metallurgy in the production of stainless and carbon steel, and for his ability to relate to all industry employees - from the laboratory to the shop floor."
2004 Oleg Ostrovski “For innovative research in thermodynamics, kinetics and mechanisms of metallurgical processes, and devotion to training of new metallurgists.”
2003 Alan W. Cramb “For advancing our understanding of the physical chemistry of casting and solidification processes, upon which new developments in continuous casting and strip casting systems for steel production have been based.”
2002 Howard K. Worner “For his contributions, over more than sixty years, to the development of novel concepts and processes that have impacted the international steel industry. His pioneering research includes: fully fluxed sinters; coal blending for coke making, continuous refinement of steel, smelting of iron oxide composites, the Worner “iron bath” smelting furnace, direct ironmaking, use of low ranked coals for smelting, microwave assisted smelting and treatment of metallurgical wastes.”
2001 Melvin E. Nickel "In recognition of 64 years of loyal and dedicated service to AIME and the Iron & Steel Society, serving as the first President of ISS and showing untiring support for the Society since its formation twenty-six years ago."
2001 Roderick I.L. Guthrie "For his significant contributions to the understanding and knowledge of ferrous metallurgy, and for his long-standing commitment with the academic work and formation of new metallurgists."
2000 Ethem T. Turkdogan "In recognition of over 40 years of contributions to the physical chemistry and kinetics of steelmaking which have provided a basic foundation for modern steelmaking technology."
1999 Richard J. Fruehan “For his many contributions to the physical chemistry of steelmaking and his tireless efforts to improve the technical foundation of the steel industry”
1998 J. Keith Brimacombe “For his excellence in the application of fundamental research to the improvement of steelmaking processes, and for energetic and innovative leadership to the steelmaking community.” (posthumously)
1997 John H. McConnell "In recognition of his successful founding and development of a major international corporation while conducting its operations in a manner which benefited its employees and communities."
1996 Thomas J. Usher "For his contribution in restoring the American steel industry's international competitiveness."
1995 Thomas C. Graham "In recognition of his managerial courage, extensive industry knowledge and independent thinking in the successful restructuring of several steel companies to international competitiveness."
1994 David H. Hoag "In recognition of his leadership in restructuring a major portion of the integrated steel industry in the United States, his strong commitment to facility modernization, and his dedication to the achievement of world class quality."
1993 Lenhard J. Holschuh "In recognition of his significant contributions in the coordination of the world steel industry's efforts to maintain steel as a material of today and tomorrow."
1992 Robert G. H. Lee and
Guy Savard
"For their invaluable contributions to the science and engineering of oxygen steelmaking."
