High quality titanium and titanium alloys are used in physical instrument making, surfacing of electronic parts and instruments and in a special alloys production.
Invented, developed and introduced alloying metals with rare earth from slag during ESR.

Manager, ESR Laboratory, 1979 - 1992

Invented and developed ESR with high activity slags.
Proposed ESR in chamber with very low level of partial pressure of oxygen.
Produced high quality ingots of the different metals: Zirconium, chromium, copper; vanadium and their alloys, alloys based of iron and nickel.
Produced high nitrogen steel with alloying by nitrogen from atmosphere in chamber of pressurized EST furnace.
Invented, developed and introduced method of hydrogen reducing and nitrogen increasing in metal during ESR.
Invented and introduced in industry, the low-alloy, fine grain, cold resistance weld steel for critical structure.

Metallurgist,1971 - 1979

Developed a technology of alloying metals during EST with electrodes-satellites and with powder.
