Its content includes materials evaluation and selection as well as design and development, production and manufacturing, and corporate or plant management. The December issue, which serves as a buyers' guide, is of particular interest. Each issue features society news as well as technical papers and notes. As with other basic society publications, sections on new products, patents and literature, industry news, and classified ads are also included. These interests are reflected in the feature articles and technical papers from AIME meetings that comprise each issue.
