Career
His research and development activities contributed significantly to the creation of the stronger and lighter steels. His notable research and development throughout the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s laid the foundations for much of the physical metallurgy of high strength, low alloy steels. His Physical Metallurgy and the Design of Steels (, originally published in 1978 by Applied Science Publishers, London), continues to be recommended reading for the majority of metallurgical engineering and materials science university courses.
He was also appointed a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 1987.
He was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England.
