ABOUT THE LEAD EDITOR

ALOKSINGH MAGNESIUM TECHNOLOGY 2016 LEAD EDITOR

Alok Singh is a Chief Researcher in the Structural Materials Unit of National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba, Japan. He studied metallurgical engineering at undergraduate, masters and doctoral levels. He worked on kinetics of phase transformation in steels for his master's thesis at the Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur. His Ph.D. work, at the Indian Institute of Science, was on the study of quasicrystalline and related intermetallic phases in aluminum alloys by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). He tackled the complex structures and reciprocal space of quasicrystals and its indexing problems.

Subsequently, he worked several years studying advanced materials by TEM at the Indira Gandhi Center for Atomic Research, and visited National Research Institute for Metals in Japan. He studied the effect of interfaces on melting and solidification of embedded nanoparticles. He has extensively studied the structure of interfaces between simple crystals and quasicrystals by TEM.

In 2002 he moved to his present working place National Institute for Materials Science and started working on magnesium alloys with special emphasis on Mg-Zn-RE alloys containing stable quasicrystal phase. His work has demonstrated very high strength with ductility in these alloys. These high mechanical properties have been analyzed with respect to microstructural characteristics. He has employed TEM to

xiii

study dislocations, grain boundaries and twins, and interactions among these, to understand deformation behavior of magnesium alloys. Recently, he is applying advanced TEM techniques of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to study severely plastically deformed (SPD, a current trend in materials to achieve nano-scale microstructures) magnesium alloys, which is a challenge for the conventional TEM because of the strong contrast from the high amount of mechanical strain. He has over 90 refereed publications, over 30 contributions to proceedings, and several patents on magnesium alloys.

As a TMS member, he is a regular attendee of TMS annual meetings and has been involved with the Magnesium Committee for many years. He has beenJOM representative and Vice Chair of the Magnesium Committee. He received the TMS Magnesium Fundamental Research Award for year 2009 along with his coworkers.

Since 2008 Petra Maier has been a Professor of Materials and Production Engineering in the School of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Stralsund in Germany. She enjoys working in the field of magnesium-based biodegradable implants. Her research interests are focused on corrosion under stress and crack propagation influenced by the microstructure. The current research relates to investigating innovative magnesium-rare-earth alloys in the form of wires, with a possible application as pins, rods, and clips for the temporary fixation of bone fracture or for forming stents.

STRIP CASTING OF LIGHT METALS 2016 EDITORS

Kai F. Karhausen is head of the research department Rolling Technology at the R&D Centre of Hydro Aluminium Rolled Products GmbH in Bonn, Germany. He graduated in 1994 with a Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of Technology RWTH Aachen. He joined the Hydro Aluminium R&D Centre in Karm.0y, Norway and conducted research in the field of aluminum extrusion before moving to the R&D Centre in Bonn to work on the rolling technology of aluminum. He is the author of a large number of papers with a focus on metal forming technology, numerical simulation, and integration of material models into process simulation tools. He served as chair of the Aluminum Processing Committee ofTMS for five years.

Dietmar Letzig is head of the Wrought Magnesium Alloys Department at the Magnesium Innovation Centre of the Helmholtz Zentrum Geesthacht in Germany. He is the author of many papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals and proceedings of international conferences. His area of expertise is microstructure and mechanical properties of wrought magnesium alloys processed by severe production processes. He is leading fundamental as well as application-oriented research projects in metal forming processes and an expert in the processing of magnesium sheet including twin roll casting and the optimisation of the magnesium sheet performance.

Jan Bohlen is a research scientist with the Magnesium Innovation Centre (MagiC) at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht in Germany. He graduated in Material Physics in 1996 and obtained his Ph.D from the University of Gottingen (Germany) in 2000. His work in the wrought magnesium alloys group at MagiC is focused on the development of new wrought magnesium alloys and understanding the effect of processing on microstructural development.

Murat Diindar holds the position of Director of Technology in Assan Aluminum. He joined Assan Aluminum in May 1999 as a research specialist. He has primarily focused on performance improvement of aluminum foil and sheet products produced out of Twin Roll Casting Technology (TRC), managing research and development projects on developing new alloys compatible with TRC technology, characterization of as-cast structures and related casting defects, interface between liquid metal and caster shell surface, solidification in TRC and related microstructures, tailoring microstructural features starting from casting and in further downstream operations, improvement in productivity of casting process and finally casting of high Mg-bearing and 6000 series alloys with TRC.

He holds a B.Sc. degree in Metallurgical Engineering from Middle East Technical University, Turkey, an M.Sc. degree in Materials Science from State University ofNew York at Buffalo, USA and a Ph.D. degree in Materials Engineering, from New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, USA.
