On August 7, 2014, the conference «Modern methods and technologies of wrought steels and alloys processing» took place at the All-Russian Scientific-Research Institute of Aviation Materials (VIAM). The conference was timed to the 110th anniversary of the birth of Doctor of Sciences (Eng.), professor Nikolay I. Korneyev.
Candidate of Sciences (Eng.) Olga G. Ospennikova, Deputy Director General of VIAM opened the Conference. She has greeted the participants and noted that specialists from different research institutes, manufacturing enterprises and other organizations took part in the event.
Olga Ospennikova has reminded that «practically all labor and creative activity of Nikolay Korneyev was connected with VIAM, where during more than 35 years he was the head of laboratory of plastic working of metals and, at the same time, deputy director of the institute». According to her, Nikolay Korneyev has made an invaluable contribution to the theory of deformation processes. «Under his leadership a group of highly skilled specialists has been created; and sectorial specifications and technical documentation on plastic working of more than 200 grades of alloys and steels was developed», - she has explained.
As Olga Ospennikova has noted, «the task of the new generation of specialists in the field of plastic working of metals consists in development of the school created by Nikolay Korneyev and mastering of effective technologies of plastic working of new materials».
As participants of the conference pointed out, the event is of a big practical importance for applied researches both in aviation industry, and in other areas. They also expressed their gratitude to the leaders of VIAM for the provided opportunity to listen interesting reports and for an excellent organization of the conference.
A joint decision has been made according to the results of the discussion.
