Description: 
The Institute was established in 1957, after the reorganization 
of the Laboratory of Metal Physics, which it replaced, to conduct research 
in metal physics and the technology of new alloys. It conducts studies on 
the electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties of metals and alloys, 
including heat-resistant materials, and has developed testing techniques 
applicable to this research, for example, ultrasonic techniques. Much work 
has been done also in X-ray and thermal-neutron scattering. The Institute 
has a Theoretical Department and an X-Ray Spectral Laboratory. It publishes 
a collection of articles titled "Voprosy fiziki metallov i metallovedeniya" 
(Problems in the Physics of Metals and Metal Science).
