John E. Bringas, is a metallurgical engineer with 25 years of experience, covering: steelmaking, foundry, petrochemical, oil and gas pipelines, oil refinery and engineering consulting (failure analysis) industries. He taught metallurgy, welding metallurgy, heat treatment of steels, and corrosion basics for 7 years at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and has been a guest lecturer at the University of Alberta. He is a member of AWS, ASM, ASME and ASTM.

Mr. Bringas founded Codes and Standards Training Inc. (CASTI) in 1989, where he has been an instructor specializing in ASME Section IX and Materials for Sour Service (NACE MR0175). He then created CASTI Publishing Inc. in 1992 where he acts as the Publisher and Executive Editor, and has authored four books in the CASTI Metals Data Book Series.

Michael Wayman  Michael L. Wayman, Ph.D., P.Eng. (Author and Professor of Metallurgy)

Dr. Michael Wayman studied metallurgical engineering at the University of British Columbia, McMaster and Cambridge Universities. He joined the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta during the summer of 1969. Over the past 26 years, Dr. Wayman has been teaching and carrying out research at the University of Alberta. His teaching has been primarily in the areas of materials science and engineering, with emphasis on the deformation and fracture of engineering materials, on the relationships among the microstructure, processing and properties of materials, as well as on materials characterization using such techniques as optical and electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. Dr. Wayman has in recent years extended this, in both teaching and research, to include the application of scientific and engineering techniques to studies of the past, an area known as archaeometry. He is now involved in the setting up and teaching of archaeometry.
