Preface
ICAA is the premier global conference for exchanging emerging knowledge on the structure and
properties of aluminum materials, providing academic enrichment for attendees, and nurturing the
advancement of aluminum application development worldwide. The 13th International Conference
on Aluminum and its Alloys (ICAA-13) was held June 3 - 7, 2012, at Carnegie Mellon University in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the birthplace of the modern aluminum industry.
This meeting discussed the most critical and strongly growing subject areas in aluminum materials
science and technology. It brought together more than 400 experts from 37 countries to discuss the
past, present, and the future – as bright as ever - of aluminum innovation. ICAA-13 was held at a time
when aluminum is enjoying increasing use to create sustainable products that address global trends.
Researchers from the industrial, national laboratory, and university communities discussed the latest
scientific breakthroughs and technological developments, and focused on:

About the Conference Editors/Organizers
Dr. Hasso Weiland is Technical Fellow at the Alcoa Technical Center in Pittsburgh, PA. His exper-
tise is in microstructure characterization and fundamental aspects of plastic deformation and recrys-
tallization of aluminum alloys. After a MS in Physics on phase transformations in the Al-Mn system
at the University of Clausthal, Germany, he completed his Ph.D. work in Physical Metallurgy on
microtexture analysis tools and their applications to dual-phase steels at the University of Clausthal.
Later, he completed a Habilitation at the same university on recrystallization of aluminum alloys.
Currently, he is also an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Department of Materials Science and
Engineering, Penn State University. He has over 100 publications as archival journal papers, confer-
ence and workshop proceedings, and technical reports. He has given over 50 invited and contributed
presentations in various types of meetings.
Dr. Anthony Rollett has been a Professor of Materials Science & Engineering at Carnegie Mellon
University since 1995. Previously, he worked for the University of California at the Los Alamos Na-
tional Laboratory (1979-2005). He spent ten years in management with five years as a Group Leader
(and then Deputy Division Director) at Los Alamos, followed by five years as Department Head at
CMU (1995-2000). He has a research group of about ten students. The main focus of his research
is on the measurement and prediction of microstructural evolution especially in three dimensions.
Prof. Rollett’s honors include an Award for Technology Transfer from the Federal Laboratories
Consortium in 1989, Fellow of ASM-International in 1996, Fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK)
in 2004, the Howe Medal (Best Paper in Metallurgical & Materials Transactions) in 2004, Fellow of
TMS in 2011, and Chercheur d’Excellence (Outstanding Researcher) at the University of Lorraine,
Metz, France in 2012. He was the Chair of the International Conference on Texture (ICOTOM-15),
which was held on campus at CMU June 2-6, 2008 and is a member of its International Scientific
Committee. He is the Chair of the International Committee of the conference on Grain Growth and
Recrystallization that is held every three years; the next meeting will be in Sydney, Australia in 2013.
He is a co-author of the texture analysis package popLA, and the polycrystal plasticity code, LApp;
he is also a contributor to the well-known textbook Texture & Anisotropy edited by Kocks, Tomé
and Wenk. He an author on over 130 scholarly articles, many of which have been cited frequently
in the literature.
Dr. William Cassada is currently a Director at the Alcoa Technical Center where he leads Alcoa
efforts to identify and access emerging technology supporting the long term business needs of the
company. Dr. Cassada joined Alcoa in 2000 during the company’s acquisition of Reynolds Metal
Company and was appointed to lead the Alloy Product and Process Development Division at the
Alcoa Technical Center. In 2002, he was named Alcoa’s Director of Research and Applied Engi-
neering and managed a diverse portfolio of R&D projects in aluminum alloy product and processing
technologies, materials science and applied chemistry resulting in many new product launches and
manufacturing improvements. He began his career as a chemist at Reynolds Metals Metallurgical
Research Laboratory in the surface technology and metal finishing group. Dr. Cassada earned a
doctorate and master’s degree in materials science from the University of Virginia and a bachelor’s
of science degree in chemistry from the University of Richmond. He has authored more than 20
technical papers in peer reviewed journals receiving numerous citations. Additionally, he has been
awarded 14 U.S. patents as inventor or co-inventor. Dr. Cassada is a member of The Metallurgical
Society, The Mineral, Metals & Materials Society, The American Chemical Society, and Sigma Xi,
the Scientific Research Society. Dr. Cassada is a member of the International Committee of the In-
ternational Conference on Aluminum Alloys, a Chairperson of ICAA13, and he served as an editor
for the ICAA7 in 2000.
