The Foreign Department together with the Laboratory of ferroalloy production has made a package of works on the study of crude ore from different fields of the world by petrography, magnetometry and other methods by the order from Russian institute TsNIIChermet.

The specialists of Foreign Department, Laboratory of tool steels and Laboratory of computer-aided metallography have carried out a training for the Cetral laboratory of JSC "AvtoVAZ" in the field of research methods and processes for production of special steels.

The Laboratory of vacuum metallurgy and the Laboratory of press and forging and rolling production have made and delivered the pilot industrial lots of special alloys produced by VIM+VAR duplex process to a number of customers.

In the second quarter of 2010 a number of important orders from JSC "Motor-Sich" on the manufacture and delivery of science-intensive metal products were carried out. The pilot plant of the Powder metallurgy laboratory made a lot of VPr-24 nickel-based powder braze alloy. The Laboratories of physical metallurgy and press and forging production rendered a technological assistance on forging high-temperature alloys (made by JSC Dneprospetsstal) under conditions of JSC "Motor-Sich". The Laboratory of computer-aided metallography started works on the actual quality control of aviation bearings. The Foreign Department made the first lot of high-speed steels ordered by the Procurement Department of JSC "Motor Sich".

On the institute's joint initiative with ZMKB Progress the International meeting on aviation bearing steels was held in October in Zaporozhye. The meeting was headed by the President of association "Soyuz Aviatsionnogo Dvigatelestroeniya" (ASSAD), Mr. V.M. Chuykov (Moscow). Representatives of Samara plant of aviation bearings (Samara, Russia), OAO TsIAM, OAO VIAM, NVPO Salut (Moscow), GP Zarya-Mashproekt (Nikolaev), GP UKRNIISPETSSTAL, OAO Motor-Sich, ZMKB Progress (Zaporozhye) took active part in discussion on improvement of performance properties of EI347 steel up to the level of M50 foreign steel and higher. A draft resolution including proposals on cooperation within Russian-Ukrainian program on aircraft engineering has been prepared.

As of October-November this year the dynamics of the financing of research and pilot works in the institute are characterized with considerable decrease of contract values with special metallurgy and pipe industry enterprizes. The level of financing from machine-building enterprizes, private companies and Minprompolitiki remains stable. General crisis resulted in lower number of foreign economic and scientific and technical orders. According to the most pessimistic estimates this month the output will be 80-100% of that in October indicating on 20% contribution of domestic metallurgy in the financing of institute's works. It is planned to increase cooperation with Ukrainian machine-building enterprizes to compensate losses.

"Metallovedenie i termicheskaya obrabotka metallov" (Metal science and thermal treatment of metals) magazine No. 7, 2008 dedicated to 45th anniversary of our institute has been published. Papers of leading scientists and engineers on theory and practice of metal science of various classes of special steel and alloys, including those produced by powder metallurgy methods have been presented therein. The group of authors includes: Y.V. Artamonov, Y.I. Spektor, L.K. Orzhitskaya, A.A. Kononenko, A.B. Kuratchenko, R.V. Yatsenko, V.I. Kanyuka, A.N. Moroz, Y.V. Yatsenko, V.T. Zubkova, Y.V. Melnikov, L.V. Bedrosova and other specialists of GP UKRNIISPETSSTAL, Dneprospetsstal, ZMKB Progress.

"Teoreticheskie osnovy protsessov raspyleniya metallicheskikh rasplavov" (Theory of processes of atomization of metal melts) monograph based on studies by the institute's specialists and including a review of papers by scientists from IPM NANU, NPO VILS (Moscow), IPM TSNIIchermet, NPO VIAM (Moscow), MATI, ASL (Great Britain), Pratt&Whitney (the USA), a number of companies from Germany, Japan, Sweden was published in September 2008. The book has been written by Y.F. Ternovy (D.Sc, professor, GP UKRNIISPETSSTAL), G.A . Baglyuk (D.Sc., IPM NANU), S.S. Kudievskiy (Ph.D., professor ZGIA). The initiative of writing this book was put forward by the outstanding Soviet and Ukrainian scientist in the field of special steels, corresponding member of NANU, Deputy Director of IPM NANU, L.A. Poznyak. Authors thank the publishing house of Zaporozhye State Engineering Academy (ZGIA) and its provost, D.Sc., professor Pozhuev V.I.
