Georges Martin (physicist)
Georges Martin (born May 28, 1940 in Oullins ) is a French physicist and mechanical engineer who has made special contributions to research into the material behavior of certain alloys .
From 2002 to 2010, Georges Martin was Scientific Advisor to the High Commissioner of the French Atomic Energy Commission ( CEA) . Before that, from 1964 to 1984 he worked as a research assistant in the field of physical metallurgy at the institute of the CEA in Saclay , from 1984 to 1988 he headed the Center for Metallurgical Chemistry Studies in Vitry-sur-Seine and from 1989 to 2002 was director of the Laboratory for Physics Metallurgy (SRMP) at the CEA in Saclay.
His concept of “Driven Alloys” led to the development of heavy-duty steels, which were initially used for energy technology , namely to increase safety in nuclear power plants and later on. a. were also used in the high-speed train TGV . In 1984 he was awarded the Gay Lussac Humboldt Prize . For his work, he received the first ever materials prize in the world, the Rhine-Ruhr International Materials Award, at 100,000 euros .
