Chemistry of Metal Alloys, the Mechanical Tests Laboratory, the X-ray 
Laboratory, and the Laboratory of High Pressures, and of several sections 
or divisions, such as the Division of Physical-Chemical Analysis and the 
Division of Platinum and Other Noble Metals. Metal alloys, electrodepo- 
sition, and rare-earth and diffuse elements are investigated here. Research 
on inorganic compounds, complex compounds, and inorganic polymers has been 
done. Much work on methods of physical-chemical analysis is conducted. 
Recently, a ternary solid solution having valuable thermoelectrical properties 
was found, and a synthesis of boron arsenide was developed. 
As an educational institute, Candidate's and Doctor's Degrees are 
granted.

Description: 
This institute was established in 1958 for the exploitation of 
ore deposits throughout the Siberian and Far East regions of the U.S.S.R. 
The Institute has done research on rare-earth components of pegmatite 
formations, and has studied the effect of rare earths on mineral growth 
and structure.
