BOCHVAR, ANDREI ANATOLEVICH (Metallographer) 



A. A. Bochvar was born July 26, 1902, son of A. M. Bochvar 

 (1870-1947, founder of the school of metallurgists). In 1923 he 

 graduated from the Moscow Higher Technical School and then 

 taught there. He began teaching at the Moscow Institute of Non- 

 Ferrous Metals and Gold in 1930, and in 1934 he became a pro- 

 fessor. In 1939 Bochvar was elected Corresponding Member 

 of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences and in 1946 Academician. 

 He is a Hero of Socialist Labor and a recipient of a Stalin 

 Prize. 



Bochvar' s basic studies are concerned with the kinetics of 

 eutectic crystallization (doctoral dissertation, 1935), the re- 

 crystallization of metals and alloys, the deformation of alloys 

 at high temperatures, the crystallization of alloys under pres- 

 sure and the relation of the casting properties of alloys to their 

 phase diagrams. Having carried out experimental research in 

 the mechanism of eutectic crystallization, Bochvar constructed 

 a theory for structural peculiarities and anomalies of alloys. 

 He established the temperature patterns of the crystallization 

 of metals and alloys (the so-called "Bochvar Rule"), and formu- 

 lated the principles of a structural theory of heat-resistance. 

 Studies on the crystallization of alloys under pressure permit- 

 ted him, jointly with A. G. Spasski, to develop new industrial 

 methods of shaping castings by crystallization under pressure.
