To-day materials and technologies

Abstract

Brief characteristics of study and development main directions carried out by the All-Union Scientific and Research Inst for Power Engineering (VNIIEM), that is: special structure materials, stable magnets, metalloceramics, contact materials, dry friction materials, impregnating and scaling compounds - is given. The Inst (VNIIEM) has carried out wide-range investigations into material processing and treatment using electron-beam, laser, argon-arch and diffusion welding; polishing and electrophysical techniques of treatment, production and assembling for space structures etc. Improved technologies and materials are successfully applied and provide for progress of soviet electromachinery and electroequipment building.
