I. M. Pavlov, Head of Plastic Deformation Laboratory 
N. N. RyKalin, Doctor, Head of Welding Laboratory 
Ye. M. Savitskiy, Doctor, Head of Laboratory of Rare-Metal Alloys 
Description: 
The scientific staff of the Baykov Institute, numbering approxi- 
mately 1,100, has broad metallurgical interests. In the tradition of 
I. P. Bardin, its late Director, the Institute is oriented toward 
industrial research, but there is also a strong emphasis on theoretical 
research. The research activity of its 20 laboratories includes: 
(1) Investigations in the field of the physics of metals and alloys 
(a) Plastic deformation 
(b) Mechanical working 
(c) Phase diagrams, particularly of rare-metal systems 
) WNickel-base and high-temperature alloys 
(e) Titanium alloys 
) Refractory metals 
(2) Determination of physical-chemical constants of metals, 
their alloys, and compounds 
(a) Corrosion resistance 
(bo) Physical properties 
(c) Super-strong metals (whiskers and metal foil) 
(3) Theories of metallurgical processes, including development 
of new processes 
(a) Powder metallurgy 
(b) Steelmaking 
(c) Ultrasonic and electric-are welding, and the 
development of welding equipment 
(dad) Drawing of glass-insulated, iron microgage wire 
(e) Extractive metallurgy, particularly of pure metals 
(4) New methods of investigation and the development of new 
apparatus 
(a) Ultrasonic apparatus for quality control of production 
(b) Electron microscopy 
(c) Spectroscopy. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy.
