The influence of high temperature annealing on the microstructure, dendritic liquation parameters and time to failure of intermetallic Re-containing alloy VIN1 (VKNA-25) is investigated. It is shown that reduction of liquation due to annealing leads to rise of time to failure of Ni3Al-based intermetallic alloy. By regression analysis the correlation between time to failure and parameters of annealing is fixed. The convergence of the regression model and experimental data is <1,5%.

Modern development of innovative equipment (primarily aviation and aerospace) makes demands to materials capable to work at high temperatures in which traditional nickel alloys cannot work. The problem of creating new heat resistant including refractory alloys acquires nowadays particular significance not only in the aircraft industry in connection with development of high-economic gas turbine engines of new generation, but also in other industries. One of the promising scientific and research directions in this field is the refractory metals and alloys development which keep considerable durability up to temperatures of 1300–2500°C. Among the metals of the kind the «big four» – tungsten, tantalum, molybdenum, niobium are outstanding that both in pure or as alloys widely used in various industrial fields.

The structure formation features and mechanical properties of laser welded joints of Al–Li alloys V-1461, V-1469 are studied. It is found that the use of Al–Cu (Al–6Cu and Al–10Cu) filler materials improves the welded seam formation and mechanical properties of welded joint, reduces probability of defects formation such as porosity and incomplete fusion. For the welding joints done by laser welding with or without filler materials Sv-1201 and Sv-1217 there is no tendency to exfoliation and intergranular corrosion of laser welded joints. Postweld heat treatment slightly reduces the corrosion resistance.

Control of a chemical composition of alloys in conditions of modern metallurgical production is carried out by an optical emission analysis method. However, matrix effects and spectral interferences significantly impact on the accuracy of analysis results. It is possible to minimize systematic errors using certified reference materials (CRM's) with similar chemical composition to the analyzed alloy. Therefore the development and application of CRM's of composition of new advanced alloys is an actual task.

The physical principles are considered and a simplified acoustic tract calculation algorithm for the C-SAFT antenna arrays digital focusing method with arbitrary size prism is developed heedful of any number of reflections and transformations of types of waves, improving efficiency of ultrasonic testing of products with flat-parallel boundaries. Existing techniques of digital focusing for given control items are either solve numerically the inverse task of diffraction with a certain set of assumptions and may not provide sufficient throughput capability, or use simplified algorithms which are not attentive to many important criteria (the presence of the inclined prism for antenna array, the attenuation of the signal amplitude on the way from the source to the receiver, the transformation of types of waves, etc.) that negatively affects the accuracy of the synthesized image and respectively reliability of control. To eliminate these shortcomings an algorithm for the reconstruction of
