Description: 
The work of the Institute has influenced the developent of the 
Soviet cemented-carbide-producing industry. Development of "throw-away"' 
carbide cutting tools, carbide dies, sintered-carbide cutting tools, and 
carbides to machine cast iron has concerned the Institute, as has the 
welding of sintered carbides. Devices for welding plastic films to metals, 
a continuous-vacuum furnace for production of hard alloys, have been 
developed. 
Research has been conducted on new methods to detect microquantities 
of trace elements in carbides and metal alloys. 
The Institute publishes a Sbornik Trudov.
