Belgorod National Research University (BelSU) has been awarded a substantial grant from the Russian Science Foundation, aimed at advancing the production of corrosion-resistant equipment crucial for the chemical, gas, and oil industries. The project, titled “Stainless Steel and Manufacturing Technologies for Transporting Aggressive and High-Purity Gases,” seeks to enhance the production readiness of stainless steel products. The Oskol Metallurgical Engineering Plant Joint-Stock Company (OZMM JSC) will serve as the industrial partner for this research, which will be conducted at BelSU’s Research Institute of Materials Science and Innovative Technologies.
The project aims to develop innovative smelting technologies for AISI 316L steel with varied chemical compositions, assess their corrosion resistance, and create prototypes for components used in transporting aggressive substances across various industries, including chemicals, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.
This initiative marks a significant advancement in BelSU’s strategic development, receiving strong support from university management and Rector Evgeniya Karlovskaya. BelSU is committed to enhancing applied scientific research and integrating innovative technologies into industrial production.
