ASTM Committee E04 on Metallography was created in 1916. On May 8-10, 1991, E04 celebrated its 75th anniversary with a conference in Atlantic City, NJ, resulting in publication of STP1165, Metallography: Past, Present and Future. On November 15-17, 2017, E04 celebrated its 100th anniversary at its fall meeting in Atlanta, GA. These 100 years have seen a vast growth in the science and technology of metallography, and E04 has continued to create new standards and update older standards as technology continues to grow and improve.
