2024 International Metallographic Contest
Deadline for entries receipt is September 13, 2024
The International Metallographic Contest (IMC) and Exhibit is being held in conjunction with the 2024 International Materials, Applications & Technologies (IMAT) Conference & Exhibition in Cleveland, OH, September 30 – October 3, 2024. The contest features the best work of metallographers and microstructural analysts from around the world. Entrants need not be members of the International Metallographic Society (IMS) or ASM International.
Purpose
The primary goal of the contest is to advance the science of microstructural analysis by providing an opportunity for those interested in material properties and characterization to display their work in print and electronic formats and communicate significant scientific information. There are five different classes of competition covering all fields of optical and electron microscopy:
• In Classes 1 through 3, multiple images and captions in a poster format are expected to be used to describe how metallography was used to help characterize a material or process, solve a problem, or to describe a unique or unusual technique.
• Classes 4 and 5 are for individual artistic images.
The IMC is open to all, including non-members of IMS and ASM International with IMAT conference attendance not required.
IMS or ASM International Officers, IMC award sponsors, and commercial exhibitors may enter in any class to compete for cash awards including Best in Show. If an entry submitted by IMS or ASM officers, IMC award sponsors, or a commercial exhibitor receives a first-place award in any class, then the submitter is prohibited from entering the same class the following year.
