About AIST - Association for Iron & Steel Technology

On Jan. 1, 2004, the Iron & Steel Society (ISS) and the Association of Iron and Steel Engineers (AISE) consolidated to form the Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST). Each predecessor organization possessed a rich historical background, but both recognized the need for a unified effort to advance the technical development, production, processing and application for iron and steel. The best practices of both predecessor organizations were incorporated into AIST, and we now have a strong, international, member-based technical organization that can sustain itself in an environment of continual change. AIST is committed to presenting superior technical meetings, conferences, exhibits and publications to better serve those involved in the iron and steel community, including steel manufacturers, suppliers, consumers and academics.

Our Portfolio

AIST is a Member Society of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME), one of the five Founder Societies for engineering established in the United States. Founded in 1871 by 22 mining engineers in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, AIME was one of the first national engineering societies established in the United States. Together with ASCE (civil), ASME (mechanical), IEEE (electrical), and AIChE (chemical), the engineering Founder Societies form the United Engineering Foundation (UEF).
