G. I. Eskin, Doctor of Engineering Sciences, Professor, Academician of Russian Academy of Natural Sciences

Vladimir I. Dobatkin (one of founders of All-Russian Institute of Light Alloys) celebrates his 100-th anniversary on February 23, 2015. V. I. Dobatkin is an outstanding Russian scientist and correspondent-member of Russian Academy of Sciences, whose artistic legacy is great. Being the chief metallurgist of Verkhnyaya Salda Metallurgical Production Association and deputy head of scientific work of All-Russian Institute of Light Alloys, V. I. Dobatkin is occupied with various problems of metal science and metallurgy of light alloys. However, the issue of structure formation during crystallization has always been the main object of his scientific interests, which formed his interest to all new casting methods, where he actively participated as researcher. The successful development and application of new casting methods became mostly possible due to V. I. Dobatkin participation in this development.
