Editor’s Note
This article is one of three plenary papers presented at the First International Conference on Processing Materials for Properties, held November 7–10,1993, in Honolulu, Hawaii. The other two were “The Post-2000 Metal Industry” by Takeshi Nagano and “Prosperity into the Next Millennium Built on the Process Engineering of Materials” by J.K. Brimacombe. Excerpts from these presentations appear in the sidebar. The following is the only one of the three presentations not to be included in the TMS conference proceedings volume, thus making it eligible for original publication in JOM. At the meeting, the paper was delivered by James Staley as Peter Bridenbaugh could not attend.
