... from there in 1931. Upon graduation he worked as a metallurgist and mill foreman, for Keystone Steel and Wire Company for two years and for Republic Steel Corporation until 193S, when he entered Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh as a CarnegieIllinois Steel Company fellow.
From page 218...
... Jack Low played an exceedingly important leadership role in both the science and application of metal deformation and fracture through the years 1940 to 1977, a period when physical and mechanical metallurgy underwent a tremendous forward advance. He has played a major role in that advance, both through his own research and through careful and diligent training of those students fortunate enough to have worked with him.
From page 219...
... This led to a clearer insight into the complex behaviors of strain aging and the yield point. His views, which have always been supported by careful and precise experimental evidence, have formed the backbone of our current knowledge of fracture in metals.
