In the era of IT technologies and innovative projects we sometimes forget about fundamental branches of engineering, foundry in particular. But thanks to the casting technology we get workpieces with complex configuration and geometry and high (98%) utilization rate of metal. There are more that 20 special types of casting. In 1985-90, the founders of Ukraine were ranked the first in the world in metal casting per capita, producing up to 6-6.5 million tons of castings per year.
Young people who chose foundry as their future profession deserves even greater respect. Andriy Dyadyura is among them. He is a forth year student from foundry of ferrous and non-ferrous metals IFF Department and scholarship of the rector of NTUU "KPI". The young man from Zhytomyr Region made his choice in 2011 and since then he is convinced that the foundry is very interesting and promising branch as it combines fundamental sciences and the latest technologies. The department, which he studies in, has rich traditions and a pleiad of well-known in CIS and Europe specialists, coryphaeus of foundry business. They developed new technologies, were at the head of huge production and research institutions and left numerous followers. Therefore, the young man strives to be worthy of his predecessors. He is a frequent guest of educational-methodical Cabinet-Museum of the distinguished NTUU "KPI" Professor S. P. Doroshenko (on photo).
Besides mastering the basics of technical sciences, A. Dyadyura actively participates in public life. He is a member of the KPI civil order protection organization. He also achieved success in sport by taking third place in a gymnastics tournament. Andrei enjoys photography.
Andriy’s research interests sphere is wide enough. The results of studies on the rheological properties of steels during heating are explained by him (co-author) in magazines such as "Casting processes" and "Metal and casting of Ukraine" (belong to professional editions of Ukraine) and in presentations at scientific conferences.
Now, under the guidance of Professor V. G. Mogilatenko, Andrew completes work on the study of the influence of intermittent high-frequency current on the structure of aluminum alloys during solidification. This is the topic of his bachelor thesis work. Later on the scholarship plans to collaborate with Physical-technological Institute of metals and alloys of NAS of Ukraine, continuing to study at the magistrates.
Let’s wish qualified student further success and recognition!
