Abstract

The paper analyzes the creation of the largest in the world melting and casting complex for production of titanium ingots in the Urals, which formed the basis of large-scale production of semi-finished titanium products for the aerospace branch and shipbuilding of the USSR (mid-1960s to 1990).

Keywords
