Apart from business contacts established at the stand, the conference programme was crowned by making results and rewarding of the winners of the International competition of the scientific, technical and innovation developments on the Arctic and the continental shelf exploration. A group of authors of Prometey has won the First Award Diploma of the competition 2019 for the "Technology Development of Electron Beam Welding of Structures Applied in Oil Production Platforms Made of Cold-Resistant and High-Strength Steels".

 

The purpose of such an innovation is to increase performance characteristics and quality of welded elements, reduce welding cost and raise labour efficiency. The project has developed the technology itself of electron beam welding of elements made of cold-resistant and high-strength steels, performed testing of test models of weld joints that sustained high technical characteristics and quality. The welding fixtures and tools are designed and fabricated. The production output for oil-extracting and oil processing is mastered. The obtained technical characteristics of weld joints (strength properties, impact energy) have exceed the international standard requirements and regulating documents applied for cold-resistant and high-strength steels in the class of F-620.

 

The following group of authors of National Research Center Kurchatov Institute - The Central Research Institute of Structural Materials Prometey has carried out the project, namely: the leading researcher, the Candidate of Technical Sciences Evgeny Davydovich Blank, the supervising foreman, the Candidate of Technical Sciences Nikolay Vasilievich Alexandrov, chief researcher, the Doctor of Engineering Mikhail Grigoryevich Sharapov, the deputy CEO for scientific work – the Head of NPEK, the Candidate of Technical Sciences Sergey Igorevich Shekin.

 

The project is performed in cooperation with Sevmash production association and fulfilled in person by Andrey Leonidovich Martianov Assistant Department Head of the Chief welder, Sergey Vladimirovich Ryzhkov the 1st category engineer, and Alexander Mikhaylovich Tkach Chief of the welding production bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the objects of Rostekhnadzor, pipelines of scientific and technology Administration of the Chief welder department. Nikolay Alexandrov  was awarded the Diploma to the applause of the audience.

 

Research Center Kurchatov Institute - The Central Research Institute of Structural Materials Prometey has sustained the high relevance of its scientific and technology development and interaction efficiency with the leading shipbuilding companies.
