Contribution of V. I. Dobatkin Into the Development of Scientific Concepts and Practical Application of Processes of Structural Hardening of Aluminum Alloys

Experimental data in the field of structural strengthening of aluminum alloys, obtained in recent years and confirming the views and foresight of a prominent Russian scientist V. I. Dobatkin about the possibility of expanding the industrial use of structurally hardened materials are considered. Examples of the development and industrial application of new aluminum alloys are given. The features of structural strengthening of aluminum alloys of two classes (heat hardenable and not heat hardenable) are analyzed.
