1922 Obituary [1]

Dr. Andrew McWilliam, the well-known consulting metallurgist, and formerly Professor of Metallurgy in Sheffield University, died at Sheffield on the 5th inst. He had had twenty-four years' association with the city when, in 1911, he accepted the appointment of Head Metallurgical Adviser to the Government of India. Before his departure for India he was given the degree of Doctor of Metallurgy for his researches into the metallurgy of steel.

For many years he was a most familiar figure at the Iron and Steel Institute meetings, and his numerous papers were always of a practical and suggestive character, and most welcome contributions. He was educated at Glasgow and the Royal School of Mines, London, where he obtained a first-class scholarship. At one time he was chemist to the Martino Steel Company, and then for two years lecturer in metallurgy to the Staffordshire County Council.
