DEPARTMENT OF METALURGY NAMED AFTER PROFESSOR VOLODIMIR LOGINOV - 95

The article presents the history of creation, development and dynamics of scientific interests of the Department of Metallurgy of the Dnipro State Technical University during the 95-year period of its existence. Reorganization and unification of the Department of Metallurgy of Ferrous Metals with departments of related specialties contributed to the expansion of scientific directions of research and opportunities for the implementation of developments in the practice of metallurgical enterprises. The scientific developments of the department's employees received a positive assessment from experts, were tested and implemented both in Ukraine and abroad.Thanks to the use of proprietary methods and laboratory equipment for isothermal and high-temperature modeling of metallurgical processes, innovative technologies and devices for sintering, blast furnace and steelmaking industries were proposed and mastered. The long-term scientific experience of the department's employees made it possible to substantiate the expediency and carry out a cycle of scientific research in the directions of theoretical and technological foundations of increasing the energy efficiency of agglomeration production and the quality of cast iron; development of methods for selecting slag and optimizing slag modes of blast furnace smelting, including when blowing pulverized coal fuel; substantiation of the priority directions for the further development of the design of devices and equipment for blasting into the blast furnace, improvement of its profile, systems for measuring process parameters and the condition of furnace enclosures;resource-saving technologies and devices for desulfurization and complex refining of recycled cast iron in ladles before converter smelting; dutt devices for conducting converter melting, including using low-slag technology, preliminary heating of scrap metal and elements of liquid-phase recovery of raw materials; new methods and devices for applying slag garnish to the lining of the oxygen converter; methods and devices for optimization of steel deoxidation and pouring technologies.
