首届TMS William Hume-Rothery奖于1974年授予Paul A.Beck，此后一直授予材料科学领域的知名科学家，如也是NIST荣誉会员的John W.Cahn。该奖项是为了表彰“一位对合金科学做出杰出学术贡献的科学领袖”，被认为是该学会的最高奖项。威廉·J·伯廷格博士因在冶金体系的热力学和动力学方面的杰出贡献以及在理解合金微观结构和与加工条件的关系方面的应用而受到表彰。在得知他将成为2015年TMS休姆-罗瑟奖的获奖者后，伯廷格博士写道：“休谟-罗瑟利体现了冶金学在二十世纪中叶从一种经验实践转变为一种包含了从所有科学领域获得的日益增长的材料知识的转变。我很荣幸能被列入获奖者名单。博廷格博士在他的整个公司担任国家标准与技术研究所(NIST，前身为国家标准局)的冶金专家。NIST于2001年选举他为院士，表彰了他在科学上的杰出贡献。尽管博廷格博士已于2011年正式从NIST退休，但他仍是NIST的活跃客座研究员。
The inaugural TMS William Hume-Rothery Award was given in 1974 to Paul A. Beck and has been since awarded to highly recognized scientists in the field of materials science, such as John W. Cahn who is also a NIST Fellow Emeritus. The award is presented to recognize ‘‘a scientific leader for exceptional scholarly contributions to the science of alloys’’and is considered a pinnacle award of the society. Dr. William J. Boettinger was recognized ‘‘for outstanding contributions to thermodynamics and kinetics of metallurgical systems and their application to the understanding of alloy microstructures and the relationship to processing conditions.’’After being informed that he would be the 2015 recipient of the TMS Hume-Rothery award, Dr. Boettinger wrote:‘‘Hume-Rothery embodied the transformation of metallurgy from an empirical practice to one embracing the increasing knowledge of materials obtained from all fields of science during the mid-twentieth century. I am humbled to be added to the list of awardees.’’Dr. Boettinger has worked throughout his carrier as a metallurgist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, formerly National Bureau of Standards). NIST recognized his outstanding scientific contributions by electing him Fellow in 2001. Although Dr. Boettinger officially retired from NIST in 2011 he is still active as guest researcher at NIST.
