Description: 
The Institute has an extensive research program. Specific studies 
have been made in the automation of metalworking processes, the rolling of 
grooves, thin sneet, and tube, the melting of ball-bearing steel, the vacuum 
melting of steel, open-hearth operation, and stainless steel technology. 
Other work nas concerned continuous casting, hot cracking of ingots, the 
closing of microcracks, the corrosive effects of gases in metals, heat 
treatment, cast iron, and oxide reduction in metals. im other areas, studies 
have been made in fuels technology, physical, colloidal, and analytical 
chemistry, electrochemistry, mathematics, and electromechanical technology. 
Some work also has been done on the yield strengths of metals at high 
deformation rates and the cold brittleness of steel. The economics of 
metallurgical-plant operations and the power requirements of arc-melting 
furnaces for steel have been studied. 
In its work, the Institute cooperates with many production 
facilities, including the Zaporozhstal' Plant, the Plant imeni Dzherzhinskiy, 
the Tube-Rolling Mill imeni Lenin, the Nova Tula Metallurgical Plant, and 
the Dneprospetstal'’ Plant. It publishes a Nauchnyye Trudy. 
The Institute offers courses in ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy, 
the physics of metals, heat treatment, the pressure working of metals, 
foundry practices, metallurgical equipment, economics, and the chemistry of 
fuels.
