IMZ

On February 20, a round table dedicated to Volodymyr Khilchevskyi, a prominent Ukrainian scientist in the field of mechanical engineering technology, professor, and World War II soldier, was held in the Rare Books Room of the Denysenko Scientific and Technical Library. The meeting was organized by the staff of the E.O. Paton Institute of Materials Science and Welding and its Department of Laser Engineering and Physical and Technical Technologies, the State Polytechnic Museum and the KPI Scientific and Technical Library. The roundtable continued the events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the scientist's birth, which our newspaper wrote about in #3-4 of January 25 this year. 

In today's environment, the production of competitive mechanical engineering products requires technologies that ensure high quality products and improve their performance. In particular, combined thermomechanical hardening using laser radiation and surface treatment is an effective technological method of increasing the wear resistance of parts. 

A solar power plant has been launched at the E.O. Paton Educational and Research Institute of Materials Science and Welding. The Institute of IMZ is the second university unit after the Scientific and Technical Library to be equipped with such an alternative source of electricity.

We sincerely congratulate Yevheniia Chvertko, Associate Professor of the Department of Welding Production of the Educational and Research Institute of Materials Science and Welding named after E.O.

January 17 marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Volodymyr Hilchevsky, a prominent Ukrainian scientist in the field of mechanical engineering technology, Honored Education Worker of Ukraine, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, author of about 300 scientific papers and inventions.

One of the traditions, the origins of which are associated with the activities of an outstanding scientist, innovator, welder, materials scientist academician E.O. Paton, whose name is the Educational and Research Institute of Materials Science and Welding of KPI, is the inseparable unity of KPI scientists with scientists of the Institutes of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine of physical and material science profile. In this cooperation, KPI is represented by the E.O. Paton Institute of IMZ - a large educational, scientific and innovative complex in the structure of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, which includes 5 departments.

How are ideas for developing a new technology and tool born? This question arises when you get acquainted with the materials of fundamental and applied research, which are carried out simultaneously with the educational process on the basis of two departments of the Educational and Research Institute of Materials Science and Welding named after E.O. Paton ( Institute of IMZ) of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute - the Department of Physical Materials Science and Heat Treatment (FMTO) and the Department of Laser Engineering and Physical and Technical Technologies (LTFT).

For many years, the sections “Materials and Additive Technologies” and “Applied Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering”, which are part of the Department of Engineering and Materials Science of the Kyiv Academy of Sciences, have been actively working at the E.O. Paton Educational and Research Institute of Materials Science and Welding of the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

Currently, E. Chvertko is a member of the International Council for Authorisation, which trains and certifies welding professionals. She is also the deputy director of the Institute of Welding for international cooperation.
