Greenslade Receives ASTM Award
Joe Greenslade, director of engineering technology at the Industrial Fasteners Institute, received the Fred F. Weingruber Award from ASTM International Committee F16 on Fasteners.
An ASTM member since 1994, Greenslade works on multiple F16 subcommittees, as well as on Committee B08 on Metallic and Inorganic Coatings.
“Greenslade’s leadership and dedication have helped make F16 a premier body for fastener standards,” the committee noted.
Outside ASTM, Greenslade is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Industrial Fasteners Institute, the International Organization for Standardization, the Research Council on Structural Connections and SAE International. He holds a bachelor’s degree in business management from Texas A&M University.
Greenslade retired at the end of 2015 after 45 years in the fastener industry.
He began his career with Camcar-Textron and Rockford Headed Products and established his own dimensional calibration company, Greenslade & Co.
He authored many articles and served on ASME B1 and B18, ASTM F16 and SAE fastener committees. Greenslade helped with efforts for the U.S. Fastener Quality Act and the Aerospace Screw Thread Conformity Task Forces and has been an A2LA board member.
In 2007 Greenslade sold his company and became the IFI’s director of technology. Email: jgreenslade@indfast.org
Salim Brahimi of Quebec-based IBECA Technologies Corp. succeeded Greenslade at the IFI. Brahimi is a licensed member of the Quebec Order of Profession Engineers and holds a master of materials engineering and a graduate diploma in management from McGill University – where he is completing a doctorate in fastener hydrogen embrittlement.
Brahimi is chair of the ASTM Committee F16 on Fasteners, and has been in the fastener industry for 25 years.
The Industrial Fasteners Institute is an association of North American manufacturers of bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, pins, washers and custom formed parts. Suppliers of materials, machinery, equipment and engineering services are associate members of the IFI. There currently are 72 manufacturer members and 48 associate members. Web: Indfast.org
