during this process has been tested. Studies have been made on the effect 
of sulfidization on the corrosion process of malleable antifriction cast 
iron. A process for automatic temperature monitoring during high-frequency 
heating of metal components has been developed. A device for determining 
frequency characteristics of mechanical automatic control systems, a com- 
bination machine tool, and strain-gage pickups to measure large-scale 
deformations have been designed at the Institute. 
There is a Department of General Electrical Engineering, a Labora- 
tory of Electrometallizing, and a Metal-Casting Laboratory at the Institute. 
A Trudy is published and the Candidate's Degree is conferred. 
The Institute offers courses in machine building, metal-cutting 
tools and instruments, casting machinery and processes, processing metals 
under pressure, welding, agricultural machinery, precision mechanical instru- 
ments, and automatic, telemechanic, and electric measuring instrument.

Description: 
The Institute prepares students for careers in railroad transporta- 
tion. Some of the research done by the staff has included investigations in 
applied mathematics, turbine technology, general mechanics, and electronics. 
Studies have also been made on the corrosion of steel, heat exchange, and 
the physical chemistry of foams. A Trudy is published. Steam locomotives, 
railroad-car construction, thermoelectric power installations, utilization 
of railroads, and construction equipment are the subjects of courses given 
by the Institute.
