NIAT work are quite diversified, covering many phases of welding technology. 
Covered-electrode, submerged-arc, gas-shielded-arc, and resistance spot- and 
seam-welding methods have all been reported on. 
The Institute has conducted many studies on the economics, organi- 
zation, and planning of production in the aircraft industry, and has prepared 
instructions, standards, and technical-information publications in this 
connection. It has recommended on-the-job training procedures for workers 
in the industry. 
Extensive studies have been carried out on the quality control, 
automation, and standardization of production processes, particularly 
welding operations. It has investigated the application of radioisotopes 
in defectoscopy for quality control of materials and finished products.

Description: 
The Institute has been developing simple flame-filter photometers 
and devices for measuring sediment. The production and application of micro- 
filters have been conducted. 
Semiconducting compounds of copper have been investigated. Critical 
condensation temperatures and entropies of crystalline compounds have been 
measured. 
Staff members have investigated basic chemical reactions to permit 
complete automation of chemical-plant processing utilizing computer-program 
techniques. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy.
