Phase diagrams are graphical representations of the phases present in a particular alloy being held at a particular temperature.  Phase diagrams are used to predict the phase changes that occur in alloys during heating and cooling. This can be during heat treating, casting solidification, joining processes that involve molten metal, and elevated temperature use conditions. This is important because the properties of a metal component depend on the phases present in the metal. In this episode Michael discusses phase diagrams and their use.

In this episode, Michael discusses different aspects of product development, product launch, and post-launch where materials engineering will improve product success. Developing and launching a product can be stressful – there are many decisions, problems to overcome, and risks to mitigate. While we'd like the process to go smoothly and be able to calmly meet deadlines, this usually is not the case – things we didn't consider pop up or things that shouldn't have been a problem become a problem.   Many of the decisions, problems, and risks are associated with the materials used in a product. After all, a product is ultimately an assembly of materials that have been shaped, manipulated, and modified. So, making the effort to engineer the materials will have an impact on product cost, performance, and reliability, and on manufacturing throughput and quality.

Gorky, Russia; First man in: Memoirs from being the first American allowed inside Russia's closed exile city by Donn G. Ziebell, Ph.D.​Russians needed internal visas to travel outside their place of residence. It was rare for foreigners to get such travel permission. After 30 years of corporate employment the author made an improbable career change. His new boss and two VP's were black-listed by the KGB and could not enter Russia. The author was asked to write a business seminar proposal for Russia to see if he could open a door and get in. One of the three Russians who received the proposal got approval nine months later by Moscow's Ministry of Education and the KGB . Surprisingly the seminars were designated to be held in Gorky, an exile city for political prisoners and closed to foreigners.The Russian Embassy in Washington D.C. and the officials in Moscow would not issue a travel visa to Gorky. So the author took the chance to be driven 250 miles to Gorky without a visa. The Russians in the city had never seen an American before. The seminar was attended by 60 top industrial personnel, including some suspected to be KGB. The author describes seminar incidents which reveal the thinking and unexpected responses by the Russians. He was taken to meet with many different people and visited many sites during his stay. The memoir is filled with events, pictures and entertaining cross-cultural experiences. From his time inside Russia, readers follow the many twists, turns and surprises the author encountered which entertain and hold reader's attention. Gorky was not opened to foreigners until the year after all these events took place.About the Author: Donn Ziebell's pursuit in doctoral studies with The Union Institute University, Cincinnati, Ohio, intersected simultaneously with his receiving of the approvals from Moscow's Russian Ministry of Education and the KGB to present business seminars in Russia. Delivering his first in a series of lectures in August 1990, the seminar program proceeded with his sending a number of US instructors with specific disciplines into Russia to lecture on their business areas of expertise. Their trip reports provided original research for writing a cross-cultural experiential doctoral dissertation to receive his Ph.D. degree. Previously, his B.S in Metallurgical Engineering from the U. of Missouri, Rolla, and a MBA degree With Distinction from the U. of New Haven, West Haven, Connecticut, expedited his earlier career in manufacturing and consulting roles within Fortune 500 Corporations for thirty years, including five years in his own manufacturing consulting firm, Ziebell Associates, Inc. https://www.amazon.com/Gorky-Russia-First-man-American/dp/0989474534/ref=sr_1_1?crid=YUXMOGPHW0MD&keywords=Gorky%2C+Russia%3B+First+Man+in%3A+Memoirs+from+Being+the+First+American+Allowed+Inside+Russia%E2%80%99s+Closed+Exile+City&qid=1692650972&sprefix=%2Chttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/82423dzec.mp3

Anwar, 24, a 2021 transfer, is the only Afghan student pursuing his Bachelor's degree in Metallurgical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. When Anwar first came to the United States in 2019, he still had plans to go back to his country and help explore the mineral wealth there. However, when the Taliban took over in 2021, his dreams of going back and setting up a business there were shattered. “I wanted to pursue mining and metallurgical engineering because universities back home did not offer that degree. I wanted to help build an income source that could help the economy of my country,” Anwar says. He has now turned his attention to getting asylum here and being able to stay beyond his degree. Find out more about his hopes and ordeals in this podcast episode with Kingkini Sengupta. “Going back to Afghanistan is not safe anymore,” he says.

Researchers at Wits University have identified sulphidation as one of the huge contributors to some of the break-downs at Eskom which ultimately lead to loadshedding. Sulphadation is a chemical process that degrades steel through the formation of brittle compounds of iron and sulphur. Sakina Kamwendo spoke to Head of Wits School of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering, Professor Josias Van Der Werwe.

In this episode I discuss failure analysis component or joint failures during product testing or use and manufacturing problems such as supplier quality problems and manufacturing output that doesn't meet specifications. Failure analysis is part of performing a root cause analysis to identify the action, event, or decision that led to a component failing in a product or led to a manufacturing problem. The information from a root cause analysis is used to either fix a problem - in the case of product design and manufacturing - or assign blame - in the case of an insurance claim or litigation.

(Apologies up front - I recorded this episode using the wrong microphone. So, the sound quality is fair. I'll do better next time.) There are microscopic structures and processes in metals that have large effects on metal properties, performance, and reliability. Being able to conceptualize these structures and processes goes a long way toward understanding the behavior of metals and the effects of mechanical processing and heat treating on metal properties. In this episode I discuss some of the microscopic structures and their effects on metal properties. I also discuss recent projects and a bonus at the end - some details about my recent trip to Seward, Alaska Michael Pfeifer is a metallurgist and metals engineer.

In this episode Michael discusses the metals engineering perspective to component design. The concepts actually apply to all materials – metals, polymer, ceramics, and new classes of materials. No matter the application, the considerations when designing a component are always the same. It's necessary to understand all the design requirements when selecting materials and finalizing a component's shape and features. The design requirements include performance, reliability, weight, cost, how the component will be fabricated, and how it will be joined to other components. With this information it's possible to identify alloys and make changes to the component's shape and features as needed to meet the design requirements at low-cost. Often, trade-offs between component materials and form are made to optimize the design. This is especially important for design for manufacturability to keep costs down and ensure a receptive supply base. Michael is a metallurgist and metals engineer.

Why did that damage some relationships and how did he get helpful feedback about that? We also talk about questions and topics including: Solving problems – sometimes people don't want to admit problems Data driven… people and emotions and empathy, not just data Six Sigma mistakes?? Expert driven – “elitist” 30 Rock mocking Six Sigma? Mistake to “rank and yank” ala Jack Welch? “Huge opponent of rank and yank” — at Amazon? Brian Joiner “Fourth Generation Management” book Creating a culture where it's safe to talk about mistakes — what's necessary for this? Training people but then not letting them use Six Sigma afterward Working on a book with John Thacker --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/favorite-mistake/support

In this episode I discuss two lessons I learned as a process engineer in the semiconductor fab. One lesson was a real-life example of the effects of manufacturing processes on metal microstructure and the resulting effects on a metal property that was used to monitor a manufacturing process. The other lesson was about the fallacy of engineering or scientific ingenuity. Michael is a metallurgist and metals engineer.

In this episode of Smart Energy Voices, host John Failla introduces Scott Bargerstock of Mohawk Industries, the opening keynote speaker from Smart Energy Decisions' recent Innovation Summit. As Director of Manufacturing, Productivity, and Global Energy, Scott shares his insights on how he is building the green bridge with Mohawk Industries' efforts to decarbonize and save money without a formal net-zero goal. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Building the green bridge [01:55] Scott's work at Mohawk [03:35] Managing ESG expectations [05:03] Making the best of high natural gas prices [08:16] Surprising benefits of infrared [10:26] Innovation is what moved the industry [18:08] Mohawk's energy challenges  Mohawk Industries is a large manufacturer, and therefore a large consumer of energy. The challenge the company has is that thermal dominates over electric. Mohawk is the world's largest ceramic tile manufacturer, and making tile without natural gas is nearly impossible. The company is looking into alternative options, with the thermal side being the greater challenge. Since Scott has been with Mohawk, the company has put five megawatts of combined heat and power at a plant in Tennessee, and one of its Italian plants is putting in a 10 megawatt third-party supply system. In Italy, the company has created about 10 million square feet of industrial LED retrofits. Additionally, the company's carpet side uses a large amount of steam in its boiler controls and is figuring out how to do that more efficiently. Finding support for improvements Fortunately, the power and natural gas events that have occurred since July of last year have helped Mohawk become a more mature company relative to energy consumption. While there's no way to get away from ESG expectations,many of Mohawk's products don't have customers who expect sustainable solutions. The company has to start by figuring out how to make and manage sustainability commitments for a modest number of products and expand that across the whole company portfolio. The increase in the cost of gas has caused many consumers and companies to become hyper-focused on finding ways to reduce costs. Mohawk is trying to take this opportunity to support the available efficiency options. A lot of the challenge is at the plant level and trying to make more product with less energy. Mohawk uses a metric showing how much energy is used to make a unit of measure of a product to see trends in production. The amount of energy used has reduced for the first time below where it was in 2019. Innovation is about the little changes Innovation is what the energy industry does every day to become a little better, faster, and a bit more profitable. Leaders need to keep their eyes open for ideas that can be adapted to different situations. Being an innovator takes a lot of courage. Sometimes it means taking a different approach than the rest of the team, and sometimes that's the right path. There's no reason to wait to be great. All that's left is to evolve the plan, maintain the course, and reevaluate the plan from time to time. Involving the whole team is strongly encouraged. Getting everyone on board ahead of time diminishes internal resistance, helps with additional ideas, and provides additional backup and impetus when making a tough decision. Involving and motivating each other is something that can inspire anyone to innovate. Focusing on a series of minor changes will result in success.

When God Acts by Jack Ream​The book is about how God established a homeless shelter using the efforts of members of eleven churches working together, including all the miracles that were performed in accomplishing the project. It tells about the lessons the author learned in working with the homeless. Then it describes how that same group of churches talked all the others food pantries in the community into closing to open one large pantry (I am told that in 2018, this was the largest individual food pantry in the US). The author discusses the problems that those who live in poverty have and what it will take to eliminate poverty in the US.About the AuthorI was born in Dover, Ohio on May 27, 1930. I graduated from high school in Dover, then attended Villanova College, Cornell University, and The Ohio State University, graduating with a BS in Metallurgical Engineering.

In this episode, hosts Levi and Brandon welcome Jim Ravella, Vice President of Programs at the Gary Sinise Foundation. They discuss the mission, programs and initiatives offered at the Gary Sinise Foundation to support our nation's defenders and their families. Jim Ravella grew up in a family that served in the military – his father served as a pilot during WW2, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Jim graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor's Degree in Metallurgical Engineering, and was inspired to become a pilot. He served as a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force for over 26 years.  Jim joined the Gary Sinise Foundation in May 2019 as Vice President of Outreach prior to his subsequent promotion to VP of Programs. Jim's position involves overseeing the day-to-day running of the Gary Sinise Foundation's programmatic services and the implementation of the Foundation's four pillar programs. Jim is married to Ginger Gilbert Ravella, a Gold Star widow and Ambassador for the Gary Sinise Foundation, who speaks nationally raising awareness for Veterans and the families of our fallen. Jim and Ginger have seven children and have co-authored a book “Hope Found” about their experiences overcoming devastating loss and tragedy. The Gary Sinise Foundation was established under the philanthropic direction of award-winning actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise, who has been an advocate for Veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and their families for 40 years.  The Foundation's four programmatic pillars include the R.I.S.E. (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment) Program, which builds 100% mortgage-free, specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded Veterans and first responders, and their families. These “forever homes” are tailored to the specific needs of each wounded hero and are specially designed to ease the daily challenges faced by disabled Veterans and first responders, and their families, who sacrifice so much alongside them. The R.I.S.E. program also provides home modifications, mobility devices, and adapted vehicles to Veterans and first responders with injuries and medical conditions.  The Gary Sinise Foundation's Community and Education Program bridges the gap between defender and civilian communities through initiatives that honor America's heroes, both past and present, and inspire the next generation to do the same, such as the Foundation's Soaring Valor initiative.  Soaring Valor sends WWII Veterans to New Orleans to tour the National WWII Museum built in their honor while recording their oral histories for future generations. Through this initiative, high school students accompany WWII Veterans to learn history first-hand and carry on their stories with a new appreciation for the sacrifices made by the Greatest Generation. The Foundation's First Responders Outreach Program, its third key program, provides funding to first responder departments across the country for essential equipment, PPE, emergency relief, and training to ensure first responders are able to perform to the best of their abilities. Gary Sinise and the foundation's long history supporting first responders began in the aftermath of 9/11 with Gary's support of the FDNY and NYPD and pivotal role in creating the Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance, and continues to this day: in 2020 alone, the Foundation's First Responders Outreach program provided thousands of pieces of critical PPE and essential equipment needed for first responders to fight COVID-19, serving a total population of 8.5 million.The Foundation's last key program, the Relief and Resiliency Program, supports Veterans, first responders,  and their families through any hardships they face, offering complete support before, during, and after the battle through flagship initiatives like Snowball Express, which provides year-round support to the families of fallen military heroes. The Foundation's Mental Wellness initiatives are under the Relief and Resilience Program umbrella, and address the mental wellness needs of service members, first responders, and Veterans through many varying partnerships. One of the latest mental health initiatives, which is discussed on this podcast, is the Gary Sinise Foundation Avalon Network which focuses on providing transformative care to Veterans and first responders suffering from TBI, post-traumatic stress, and substance abuse, as well as supporting their families throughout the care process. The Gary Sinise Foundation Avalon Network is the first comprehensive traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress network available free-of-charge to Veterans and first responders nationwide and will establish 20 sites nationwide to serve thousands of Veterans and first responders.Learn more about the Gary Sinise Foundation here and in our latest episode of the Vets First Podcast.

Dr. David W. Epstein is a retired Pediatric Dentist residing in Bloomfield, CT. He attended the University of Wisconsin on a scholarship in Metallurgical Engineering. He received a degree in Mathematics in 1964, followed by a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1968 and a Master’s Degree in Pediatric Dentistry in 1970 all from Indiana University. In 1970, he joined the original Dental School Faculty at the University of Connecticut Health Center and taught until 1988. He began his private practice in 1972 in West Hartford, Connecticut and the practice has grown into a group practice consisting of five Pediatric Dentists and two Orthodontists. He is proud that his repacement upon his retirement was one of his former patients. For more than 45 years, the primary focus of his practice was preventive care with an emphasis on active child and parent participation. After listening to many negative comments about the taste of dental products being used, Dr. Epstein researched the idea of developing both a new prophy paste and fluoride varnish with delicious flavors and superior properties. His vision in creating Wonderful dental was to solve 2 major issues: 1) There was a need for better products to make the dental experience more pleasant for children. 2) Reduce the price by selling direct in order to save other pediatric dentists money on premium supplies.  3) In His words, “This is my way of giving back to a wonderful profession that gave me so much. I loved treating patients and I love participating online giving advice and help where I feel competent.”
