from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dmitri Antonovich Prokoschkin ( Russian Дмитрий Антонович Прокошкин ; born October 14 . Jul / 27. October  1903 greg. In Naskaftym in Kuznetsk , † 5. December 1988 in Moscow ) was a Russian materials scientists and university teachers .

Life

Prokoschkin was the son of a carpenter . Because of the difficult situation during the Russian Civil War, the family moved to Turkestan in 1921 , so that Prokoschkin began studying at the University of Tashkent . He finished his studies at the Moscow Mining Academy in 1930 and then became an aspirant at the newly founded Moscow Steel Institute MISiS. 1931-1932 he was sent to Leningrad seconded for further training at the artillery - Faculty of the Military Academy of Engineering of the Red Army . He then continued to work at MISiS. In 1936 he received his doctorate as a candidate in technical sciences . Prokoschkin's field of work was the problems of heat treatments and chemical- thermal treatments of steels and the production of new steels. His investigations of the alloying element content in ores provided important arguments for the construction of the Orsko-Chalilow- Metallurgie - Kombinat in Novotroitsk in 1939 . In 1939 he was appointed professor and in 1940 he was appointed head of the chair .

During the German-Soviet war Prokoschkin developed special steels for explosive ammunition and concrete-breaking grenades. This led to armor - piercing shells of the navy , which penetrated the Krupp armor plates . He also developed a method of hardening of tool steels in cyanide - molten salts . In 1946 he received his doctorate in technical sciences .

In 1947 Prokoschkin became head of the main administration of the polytechnic universities and a member of the college of the USSR Ministry of Education .

In 1959 Prokoschkin became rector of the Moscow State Technical University "NE Bauman" (MWTU) (until 1959) and established the chair for technology and automation of heat treatment there, which he headed until his death. He was one of the founders of thermomechanical treatments and ion plating . He developed austenitic nickel-free chrome - manganese - aluminum steels. He analyzed alloys by means of inter diffusion experiments and set up their phase diagrams . He carried out fundamental research on refractory metal alloys . One of his students was JK Kowneristy . In addition, Prokoschkin temporarily headed Laboratory No. 7 for Structural Steels and Alloys of the Moscow Baikov Institute for Metallurgy and Materials Science of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR) Finally, he was also interested in the history of metallurgy and published a book on PP Anosov .

Prokoschkin's tomb is located in Moscow's Kunzewo Cemetery . Prokoschkin's son was the physicist Yuri Dmitrijewitsch Prokoschkin .
