Biography
Igor Tkachenko, DSc(Eng), has over 25 year experience in improving quality and reliability of bulk alloy steel industrial products for demanding applications. He developed a number of novel research techniques and industrially employed steel heat treating technologies. The reported results are findings within the frame of his early developed and industrially verified approach to solving the problems relating to the multi-element steels and multi-parameter manufacturing technologies. The approach includes computer statistically based multi-purpose optimization of currently applied technologies and novel technology development to solve specific unrepaired problems. The phenomena revealed in the course of the above investigations are an important challenge to the modern theory of phase transformations in metallic materials. The obtained results open new prospects to reliable improving performance of bulk industrial products made of most modern cast irons and alloy structural steels, increase effectiveness and promote sustainable development of steel metallurgy.
