On the History of the Formation of the Fizika Metallov I Metallovedenie (Physics of Metals and Metallography) All - Russia Academic Magazine in the Ural Territory

摘要

The formation in the Ural Territory of an academic magazine under the title of Fizika Metallov i Metall-ovedenie (Physics of Metals and Metallography) reflects the large contribution of Ural researchers into the development of metals science. The start took place in 1836 in Zlatoust, where Pavel P. Anosov founded a plant laboratory, which was one of the first in Russia. The researches that were performed in that laboratory have subsequently played a very important role in the development of metallography and metals science in Russia. To improve the quality of armament, there arose an urgent need in the investigation of steel structure. Pioneering works in this field were made by D.K. Chernov, who transformed the art of manufacturing high-quality steel articles into the metals science. These works were continued in Zlatoust in 1920-1930s by S.S. Shteinberg. The availability in the plant where he was working at that time not only of skillful foremen and workmen, necessary equipment, and modern library but also of a plant laboratory permitted Shteinberg and the remarkable research team he formed from young metal scientists to carry out works of an international level. It is not by accident that famous metal scientists such as N.V. Gram-Grzhimailo, I.N. Efremov, K.A. Malyshev, G.N. Pogodin-Alekseev, V.P. Remin, V.D. Sadovskii, and many other emerged from this Central Plant Laboratory and subsequently spread from there throughout the Soviet Union.
