Albert Gagnebin was a metallurgist who became president then Chairman of Inco Limited. He co-discovered ductile cast iron.

Biography

Albert Paul Gagnebin was born in 1909. He graduated from Yale University with a degree in metallurgy.

Gagnebin started work at the International Nickel Company's Bayonne NJ laboratory. Over the course of a few years he and co-inventors Keith Mills and Norman Pilling developed ductile cast iron, which they had observed by chance. The product, which was patented in 1949, quickly became popular for agricultural machinery, automotive parts and pipes.

Gagnebin wrote "The Fundamentals of Iron and Steel Castings" in 1957, and was celebrated by the American Foundrymen's Society in 1952 for his patent. His book went through at least four editions by 1978.

He rose in the company to become in 1964 vice-president in charge of research, development and sales for all of the company's metal products. He was appointed president in 1967 and chairman in 1971; he retired in 1974 at the age of 65 and remained on the board of directors until 1980.

In 1968 he opened five new mines.

In March 1969 he cemented the COFIMPAC accord with the French government for INCO to begin to exploit a property in New Caledonia.

Gagnebin earned the Charles F. Rand Memorial Gold Medal from the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers in 1977 for distinguishing himself in mining administration.

Gagnebin died in February 1999. He was survived by his wife, Grace, and two daughters, Anne Coffin and Joan Wicks.
