Chernov’s role in creating and developing the doctrine of modern metallurgy and metal science. Part 1. D.K. Chernov’s main theoretical and industrial discoveries

The paper contains informational material about the essence of the discoveries made by D.K. Chernov in the field of metal science, theory and practice of heat treatment, new types of tests and investigations. D.K. Chernov was a real pioneer of extremely important phenomena in the field of phase and structural transformations, casting structure, and study of strength of steel products. Significance of his discoveries, undoubtedly, puts D.K. Chernov’s name on the first place in a row of world scientists – metallurgists and metal scientists. Later his discoveries allowed one to develop the science of metals and its subdisciplines – metallurgy, steel deformability, theory of phase and structural transformations, tests and research of metals, theory and technology of heat treatment.
