ME Transitioning to Digital-First Delivery

Starting in 2025, ASNT is moving to a digital-first membership model. As part of this change, Materials Evaluation will no longer be printed and mailed to all members each month. The final automatically mailed issue will be August 2025.

This change helps ASNT keep membership dues affordable as printing and postage costs rise, as well as reduce our environmental impact.

We’re also enhancing your digital experience with a new way to explore Materials Evaluation content online, launching later in 2025.
