- Quote: I am excited that this research work, born from the collaboration between Ford Motor Company and Northwestern University, was selected for this TMS award and highlight the interest in the development of new generations of aluminum alloys. Building on multiple decades of research on precipitation-strengthened aluminum alloys tailored for high temperature applications, these novel alloys with a dual population of strengthening precipitates allows to push further the maximum operating limits due to their incredible creep and coarsening resistance. The deployment of these aluminum superalloys in aerospace and automative application could allow to improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.

- Quote: After many years of research on these advanced precipitation-strengthened aluminum alloys with sponsorship from the Ford Motor Company, I am excited that this fundamental research paper was selected for this TMS award, especially given the undisputed leadership of TMS in the area of light-alloy metallurgy. These novel alloys, with a dual population of strengthening precipitates with extreme coarsening and creep resistance, bring us a step closer to the goal of aluminum superalloys, with performances similar to those of nickel-based superalloys when comparing at the same homologous temperatures. Deploying these alloys in automotive and aerospace applications will lead to gains in energy efficiency, providing a contribution to the urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions globally.

- Quote: As a life member of TMS, I am very grateful for this award as TMS has been my intellectual home for many years and is where I met many fine people. This particular award is extremely meaningful to me as I nucleated studies on Al-Sc, Al-Sc-Mg and Al-Sc-Zr alloys in 1998, which was curiosity driven research that became ultimately both scientifically and technologically significant and led to the founding of NanoAl LLC (now part of Unity Aluminum) which is building the world’s most technologically advanced aluminum rolling mill in Ashland, Kentucky. The research on aluminum alloys was generously sponsored by the Department of Energy and Ford Research Laboratories for which I am also extremely grateful. I am a Fellow of the TMS, ASM International, the Materials Research Society, Microscopy Society of America, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

- Title: Chief Executive
- Affiliation: Max-Planck-Institut Fr Eisenforschung, Dusseldorf, Germany
- Quote: It is a great honor to receive this award. High strength aluminium alloys are key materials that enable lightweight transportation, construction and mobile communication solutions. Understanding the role of the early stages of atomic clustering on strain hardening and strain rate sensitivity is therefore essential. Considering that even high strength aluminium alloys are still a factor 7 away from their theoretical strength limit shows that there is a lot of headroom for further research in this field. Since the main strengthening factor in aluminium alloys are atomic clusters and nanoprecipitates such endeavors require the development and use of methods that allow to probe such nanoscale and near atomic scale phenomena, such as synchrotron and atom probe methods.
