Description: 
Giprostal' has a Zhdanov Branch and a sub-organization known as 
Proyekstal’. 
The Institute proper has done considerable research on the problems 
of mechanization and automation of the technological processes of open-hearth 
furnaces, especially the improvement of metallurgical machine designs. They 
have designed systems for continuous casting, pouring, and rolling of steel. 
They were also active in designing a gamma-defectoscopy laboratory for the 
use of the metallurgical industry in the control and investigation of melting 
processes, charge composition, and alloy structure. 
The Evaporative-Cooling Section is especially well-known for the 
development of a furnace-cooling method using boiling rather than cold water. 
Other research on cooling processes has included studies of the effects of 
cooling conditions on mechanical stresses in ingots and on ingot quality, 
and roller cooling in continuous casting. 
‘The Institute publishes a Sbornik Nauchnykh Trudov.
