Emel'yanov's main scientific work deals with developing new 

 grades of steel, technology of producing armor, study of the 

 role of nitrogen and other gases in special steel and ferroalloys. 

 Under the direction of Emel'yanov, new electric furnaces for 

 smelting of steel and ferroalloys were developed, the tech- 

 nology was worked out and high grade ferroalloys were intro- 

 duced in industry.
