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. Ovchinnikov is the author of 470 publications and
110 inventions. He is doctor of engineering sciences, professor,
full member of the International Informatics Academy, and has
received an award for excellent invention in the aviation industry.
"… gives a comprehensive and detailed overview about metallurgical
details that are not so often shown in such books."
— Matthias Knuewer, Airbus Operations GmbH, Bremen, Germany"The
authors have done a stupendous job in bridging the knowledge gap in
theoretical understanding of the AL-Li processes with the actual
industry practices. The reader will find the treatment of molten
metal quality control and its tie in with casting practice recipes
to be of fundamental value. The book will become a desk reference
for those metallurgists involved in the manufacturing of aerospace
grade aluminum lithium alloys as well as a course book for students
of aluminum cast house Technology for reactive alloys."
—Ravi Tilak, Almex USA, Inc., Buena Park, California, USA"This
‘troika’ of authors has pulled together 265 references, mainly from
Russian technical sources, and summarized the vast literature in
eight concise and readable chapters, detailing not only the
theoretical basis of Al-Li alloying but all the practical aspects
of their production and fabrication."
