Creative way of the Iron and Steel Institute of NAS of Ukraine. 80 years

The history of the creation of the Iron and Steel Institute named after Z.I. Nekrasov National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (HMI). The main stages in the history of the HMI, its leaders and directions of scientific research are presented. The foundations of scientific topics and reputable scientific schools were laid by outstanding scientists of the Institute, who have not lost their relevance at the present time. It is shown that the creation and establishment of the HMI was determined by the need to develop the country's ferrous metallurgy. The origins of creating the scientific topics of the Institute, which covered all the main stages of ferrous metallurgy, are given. Major scientific developments created by the staff of the Institute for the first time in world and domestic practice, which currently form the basis of world metallurgy, are presented. The analysis shows that the strategic direction of the development of domestic metallurgy in the future is the evolutionary change in metallurgical technologies. In this regard, the Institute develops the main directions of scientific and technical support of technologies for blast furnace, steelmaking and rolling production, heat treatment of rolled products. The examples of modern scientific developments of the Institute are given. The research areas of the Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine cover a wide range of problems in the production of metal products and are complex, which is an important advantage in modern metallurgical production. The HMI has a serious scientific potential for the latest modern technological and technical solutions for domestic metallurgical production, which at the development stage are being adapted to the existing technological and raw material conditions in Ukraine. Most of the new developments in technological content and intellectual level of implementation are not inferior to world analogues and are widespread in world practice.
