SME CHAPTER 186
March 2015 Meeting
Topic: Thermochemical Surface Engineering of Steels (TCSE)
Presentation By: Dr. Edward Rolinski (Dr. Glow)
Dr. Edward Rolinski graduated from the Warsaw University of Technology Department of Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering with a Master of Science and specialization in the Physical Metallurgy and Heat Treatment of Metals. He received his Doctorate of Philosophy in 1978 and Doctor of Science degree in 1989 for his thesis and scientific work on the application of the cold plasma/glow discharges to the surface treatment of solids. Before moving to the United States, Rolinski worked as an Associate Professor at the Warsaw University of Technology teaching physical metallurgy and surface engineering. He took three sabbatical leaves during his academic career. He spent these sabbaticals conducting research on the plasma nitriding of titanium alloys at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and working on the plasma/gas nitriding of various iron alloys at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. He also taught Physical Metallurgy at the University of Melbourne in Australia. His industrial experience in the United States includes working as a Metallurgist for Peterson Engineering Company and as Director of Research and Quality Control for Advanced Metallurgical Corp. Rolinski joined Advanced Heat Treat Corp. in February of 1994 and currently holds the position of Vice President of Technology. He has published over 50 scientific and technical papers and coauthored a book. In 2010 he spoke on the role of reactive sputtering in plasma nitriding at the 2nd Edition of Nitriding Symposium.
