Lenin Prize in science and technology. Investigations have also been 
carried out on stresses and endurance of welded structures, aerial-radio- 
survey methods, and the molecular structure of water. A Trudy is published

Description: 
The Institute has conducted research to develop better alloy tool 
steels, determine crack formation during heat treatment of steels, and 
develop better brazing solders. 
The Cutting Laboratory is active in developing better carbide and 
diamond cutting tools. Hard-alloy multifaced tips for cutting tools to be 
attached to normal shanks have been investigated. High-speed grinding, 
sharpening, and lapping carbide tools are also being investigated.
