Description: 
The Institute is engaged in much work on the pressure working of 
metals, including studies of metal deformation, mathematical theory of roll- 
ing, rolling of steel and titanium alloys, friction conditions in rolling, 
reconditioning of rolls, sheet rolling, use of radioactive tracers in rolling, 
forging of titanium, high-temperature, high-pressure forging, and surface 
conditions on large forgings. 
In the area of steel manufacture, studies have concerned the theory 
and practice of melting steel in a large open hearth, arsenic in rimming 
steels, teeming of ingots, kinetics of liquid-solid steel, use of oxygen in 
melting, quality of rail steel, effect of vibration on steel ingots under- 
going crystallization, visual and electroconductivity control of furnace slags, 
silicon-free steels, and shrinkage of high-manganese steels. The corrosion 
of steel has been studied, and analytical work on steels has been done. 
The Institute also has done blast-furnace research with Krivoy Rog 
fluxed sinter and has smelted fluxed sinter of the Kerchensk ores. Some work 
has been done on magnesium-treated cast iron and on the dephosphorization of 
cast iron. 
In the field of welding, the Institute has developed fluxes for 
use in the automatic, submerged-arc welding of pure nickel, copper, and steel. 
Some work has been done on the welding of stainless steel in a carbon dioxide 
atmosphere. 
Work has been done on the isothermal transformation of austenite, 
the kinetics of the austenitic transformation of ball-bearing steels, induc- 
tion hardening, and heat treatment of forgings. In the field of metal struc- 
tures, the Institute has done work on the stability of cementite on heating 
and X-ray studies of overheated steel. 
The Institute offers courses in nonferrous metallurgy, ferrous 
metallurgy, metallurgical equipment, metallography, heat treatment, foundry, 
automation, pressure working of metals, and welding technology and equipment. 
It publishes Sbornik Nauchnykh Trudov.
