Officially the Metallurgical Faculty was established in 1953. This event was preceded by more than three decades of productive, hard work of talented teaching staff led by such well-known scientists as Academician, Vice-president of the USSR I.P. Bardeen, Professor B.A. Brylliantov; Professor I.A. Andreev; Associate Professor D.I. Lyhnyakevych. With their efforts our graduates have become leading specialists in metallurgical industry, known throughout the state heads-production workers, scientists, statesmen, politicians.

Deans of Metallurgical Department for more than 50 years history were I.M. Halyemin (1953-1957), V.M. Yuferova (1957-1958), M.M. Chernov (1958-1964), V.V. Revenko (1964-1966), V.M.

Since September 2003 Associate Professor V.V. Peremitko has been heading the Department. Now the Metallurgical Faculty consists of five departments: Ferrous Metallurgy Department, Foundry Department, Plastic Metal Working Department, Welding Technology and Equipment Department and Condensed Matter Physics Department.

The Ferrous Metallurgy Department – one of the oldest in the Faculty, was founded in 1926. During its existence, many highly skilled specialists, who occupied a leading position in metallurgical and other enterprises in different years, were trained, such as Z.S.

The Metal Forming Department has been existing since 1930, since transforming the working college into the evening institute, and trains engineers, metallurgists and experts in the field of rolling, wire drawing, forging and pipe industries. Over the years the department was headed by well-known scientists: Associate Professors D.I. Lyhnyakevych, L.F. Molotkov, A.O. Nefedov. Since 1973 the department was headed by Professor, Doctor of Technical Sciences B.N. Ilyukovych-Strakovskyy. In different periods of the department existing well-known scientists with great work experience worked there, such as Doctors of Technical Sciences V.A. Nikolaev, Y.I. Kokovihin; Candidates of Technical Sciences V.N. Ershov, B.V. Merekin, V.D. Yesipov, P.M. Ivshin, B.M. Boyko; Senior Lecturer A.P. Cherneta and others.

During its existence the department has trained thousands of professionals who occupy high positions in steel mills and research institutes. Directors of Dneprovsky Integrated Iron&Steel Works named after Dzerzhinsky were department’s graduates Candidate of Technical Sciences A.P. Sichevyy, Candidates of Technical Sciences M.P. Pidbereznyy, V.V. Pyhtin; major calibrators V.V. Denisov, L.A. Knyazev, major distributors E.S. Salatsynskyy, heads of rolling mills were A.P. Sichevyy, V.V. Pyhtin, G.Y. Shapovalov, G.P. Gubko, M.M.

Since 1966, the university began training foundry engineers. The Department of Foundry Industry Steel has trained casters. The first graduation was held in 1971 and two years later a separate the Foundry Department was established and headed by veteran of World War II, Associate Professor, Candidate of Technical Sciences P.T. Shevchuk. Later the department was headed by Associate Professors A.M. Surhuchov, L.I. Pronsk and A.P. Eremenko. Now the department is headed by the graduate of Steel Metallurgy Department Professor O.V. Gress.

For thirty years, the Department has prepared more than 1,600 professionals. Young professionals and graduates of previous years work successfully at the enterprises and institutions. There are favorable reviews on them, so we can be justly proud of them and feel the pleasure that hard work of teachers was not in vain.

The Welding Technology and Equipment Department was founded in 1966, originally as a substantive committee, which was part of the Metallurgy Iron Department. The creation was due to high demand for engineers and welders. The founder and first chair of the department was Associate Professor, Candidate of Technical Sciences V. N. Milutin. The first graduation was held in 1971.

At different times the staff of the department performed self-financing research and development for Dneprovsky Integrated Iron&Steel Works, JSC “Dneprovagonmash”, JSC “DniproAzot” PA “Ukrburgaz” (city Urengoi) the building of canal “Dnepr-Donbass”, enterprises in Moscow, Lipetsk and other cities. Senior scientific worker E.O. Cherednik and the chief of the laboratory V.A. Koloda took active participation in these studies. V.A. Koloda defended thesis for obtaining Candidate degree on the results of this work and later became a senior lecturer at the department.

Today, the department works with scientific research in improving the technology of welding and arc welding, welding materials creation, simulation of different welding processes and weldability of structural materials. The staff of the Department is proud of their graduates who are true professionals, organizers of production, talented scientists. Among them, the main welders of factories A. Letova-Troiska (JSC “Yaroslavlenerho”, Russia), S. Tonkoshkur (JSC “Dniprotyazhmash”), M. Prudkiy (JSC “Dnepropetrovsk plant of metalware named after I.A.Babushkin”); Candidate of Technical Sciences P. Ivchenko, O. Biliy, J. Krykent, V. Fedichev, A. Lisniy, General Director of JSC “Dneprovagonmash” L. Lazarev and others.

History of the Condensed Matter Physics Department of Dniprodzerzhinsk State Technical University referred to the Rolling, Metallurgy and Heat Treatment Department of Dneprodzerzhinsk Metallurgical Institute established in 1950. With the reorganization of the institute structure, aimed to improving training, in 1965 the Metallurgy and Heat Treatment Engineering Department separated from it. The staff of the department performed the learning process for students of all the specialities, conducted research work on the improvement of steels and alloys, methods of processing, the creation of new instruments and equipment. First Chair of the Department was Candidate of Technical Sciences Y.A. Sysuev. For 15 years the department was headed by Professor, Doctor of Technical Sciences L.L. Piatakov. In 1988 the department was reorganized into producing department of Metalwork Manufacturing, Metallurgy and Heat Treatment. With the opening of a new university speciality 7.070102 “Solid State Physics” the department of the same name was established on the basis of the department mentioned above. In 2010 the department was renamed into the Condensed Matter Physics Department.

To date, the Department has trained about 120 physicist-specialists. Creative atmosphere established in the department contributed to the 15 graduates choosing to link their future with the scientific activity in the chosen specialty.
