Tokuhichi Mishima (三島 徳七 Mishima Tokuhichi, February 24, 1893 – November 19, 1975) was a Japanese metallurgist. He discovered that aluminum restored magnetism to non-magnetic nickel steel. He invented MKM steel, which was an extremely inexpensive magnetic substance that has been used in many applications. It is also closely related to the modern Alnico magnets. He later became a professor at the Tokyo Imperial University. He received the Blue Ribbon Award and the Large Asahi Ribbon Award. ...more on Wikipedia about "Tokuhichi Mishima"

William Hume-Rothery OBE (1899-1968) was a British metallurgist who studied constitution of alloys. In his research, he concluded that the microstructure of an alloy depends on the sizes of the component atoms, as well as the valency electron concentration, and electrochemical differences. He founded the Department of Metallurgy at the University of Oxford in the 1950s. ...more on Wikipedia about "William Hume-Rothery"
