Materials Selection for Design and Manufacturing

Joseph Datsko is Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and President of Mechology, Inc. The author or coauthor of over 30 papers on materials and manufacturing processes, he has served as a consultant in materials and engineering education to several major universities in Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela. Professor Datsko is a Senior Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASM International, the American Society for Engineering Education, and the American Welding Society, among others. He received the B.S. degree (1943) in mechanical engineering and theM.S. degree (l952) in metallurgy from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
