FELLOW OF IIW

Professor Dr Carl E. Cross (USA), a metallurgical engineer from the Colorado School of Mines, has over 40 years of welding research experience working in industry, academia and national laboratories. He has specialised in solidification defects and has been involved with many important welding issues: Al-Li development for the Space Shuttle (Martin Marietta Inc.), hyperbaric nitrogen pick-up in duplex stainless (Helmut Schmidt University), filler development for aluminium ferries (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), and ballistic properties for armoured vehicles (Montana Tech). As senior scientist at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), Germany, he directed welding studies on the corrosion-fatigue analysis of magne- sium, role of hydrogen in titanium, grain refinement in aluminium, and modelling of solidification cracking. Currently he works at Los Alamos National Laboratory, developing a new process for braze-welding and working to eliminate weld porosity.

Dr Richard Dolby (United Kingdom) is an independent consultant metallurgist and a Distinguished Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. He began his career at British Alcan and the General Electric Company, and in 1964 joined The Welding Insti- tute (British Welding Research Association). He was Director, Research and Technology from 1985 until his retirement in 2003. A past-President of the UK Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, he was elected a Fellow of the UK Royal Academy of Engineering in 1987 and awarded the Order of the British Empire in 2000 for services to research and technology transfer in materials joining. From 1979 he held various IIW posts, including Chair of Sub-Commission IXJ for 10 years, and Chair of the Study Group Welding Research Strategy and Collaboration for a similar period. He became Chair of the Technical Management Board in 2000 and was a Vice-President for 3 years until 2003.
