The Royal Society Armourers and Brasiers' Company Prize is sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Armourers and Brasiers and awarded biennially by the Royal Society "for excellence in materials science and technology" and is accompanied by a £2000 gift.^[1] The medal was first awarded in 1985 to Michael F. Ashby "in recognition of his outstanding contributions to materials science, first for identifying the mechanism underlying and by modelling theoretically a number of phenomena of great importance to the materials engineer".

Laureates

Laureates of the award^[2] include:

Year	Name	Rationale	Notes
1986	Michael F. Ashby	"in recognition of his outstanding contributions to materials science, first for identifying the mechanism underlying and by modelling theoretically a number of phenomena of great importance to the materials engineer, and second for pioneering the important concepts of deformation and fracture maps which display in a single field the area of dominance of specific flow and fracture mechanisms."	—
1988	Kenneth H. Jack	"in recognition of his outstanding work on ceramics, in particular that on sialons and their subsequent applications"	—
1991	William Bonfield	"in recognition of his pioneering and innovative work in biomaterials, in particular in developing the concept of a hydroxyapatite reinforced polymer composite'"	—
1993	Jan Edgar Evetts	"in recognition of his many significant contributions to the study and application of superconducting materials, amorphous magnetic alloys and multi-layered materials"	—
1993	James Derek Birchall	"in recognition of his outstanding work on inorganic materials including the development of strong ceramic fibres and high strength macro-defect-free cement."	—
1995	Michael James Goulette	"n recognition of his outstanding work in the field of gas turbine materials and the development of new super alloys and advanced composites such as titanium matrix composites and ceramic matrix composites"	—
1997	Harry Bhadeshia	"in recognition of his outstanding work in the field of solid state phase transformation in steels, in particular for his research into the bainite transformations and for his invention of a carbide-free bainitic steel with enhanced wear and fracture resistance."	—
1999	David Pettifor	"in recognition of his outstanding work in the development of phenomenological structure maps for binary and pseudo-binary alloys known as the 'Pettifor Maps', and his vision and leadership in establishing the Materials Modelling Laboratory at Oxford with its strong links to industry and recognised as an international flagship laboratory for modelling"	—
