O autorze

Dr. Sci. Olga Grushko graduated from Moscow State Aviation Technological University in 1959. She specializes in metallurgy and materials science for wrought aluminum alloys. Since 1959, she is working at the All-Russian Research Institute of Aviation Materials (VIAM) and during recent years as a chief scientist. Dr. Grushko is well known for the development of fundamental of a new class of wrought aluminum alloys—alloys with lithium. Her theoretical ideas and research are implemented in industrial production. Dr. Grushko is the author of 90 publications and 20 inventions, is a doctor of engineering sciences, and is a recipient of a state award from the Russian Federation.

Dr. Boris Ovsyannikov graduated from Ural Federal University in 1979. He is a specialist in the field of melting, casting, and metallurgy of aluminum and magnesium wrought alloys and the technology of rare metals. Since 1984, he is working at Kamensk-Uralsky Metallurgical Works; he became chief metallurgist in 2011 and head of R&D in 2014. Dr. Ovsyannikov developed the scientific basis for melting, refining, and casting of aluminum alloys alloyed with lithium and rare earth metals. His theoretical developments are implemented in the industrial production of ingots in aluminum alloys alloyed with lithium and scandium. Dr. Ovsyannikov is the author of 95 publications and 28 inventions. He holds a PhD.

Prof. Dr. Sci. Victor Ovchinnikov graduated from Moscow Aviation Technological Institute in 1978. He specializes in metallurgy and welding of wrought aluminum alloys. Since 1982, he is working at the Russian Aircraft Corporation JSC and is head of the Welding Laboratory. Prof. Ovchinnikov developed a scientific basis for fusion welding of aluminum–lithium alloys and methods for the prevention of porosity in joints. He implemented theoretical and practical developments in the manufacturing of welded aircraft structures. Prof. Ovc
