Life

As a schoolboy, Wologdin visited the well-known electric welding workshop of the engineer NG Slavyanov at the Perm Cannon Works in 1894 , which determined his future career. In 1902 he entered the St. Petersburg Naval Engineering College , and because of his achievements, he became a sergeant . However, when he and ten fellow students declared his solidarity with the revolutionaries after the revolution in 1906 , he was expelled from the university on the orders of the naval minister. He immediately began studying at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute in the electromechanical department, which he completed in 1910. There he remained as a lecturer in the mechanics - Faculty . In 1911 he traveled to Germany, France and Switzerland to get to know the state of turbine construction .

After the beginning of the First World War , Vologdin was transferred to the naval office in December 1914 on the orders of the naval minister Ivan Grigorowitsch and distributed the work in the drawing room of the shipbuilding administration. At the same time he taught at the Petrograd Transport Institute and in the shipbuilding department of the Polytechnic Institute.

During the civil war he fought as a first lieutenant in the Kolchak army. Because of his bravery he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and received the Order of St. Vladimir 4th Class with Swords and Ribbons and the Order of St. Stanislaus 3rd Class.

1919 Wologdin was as a representative of the Navy Office Executive Director of the Dalsawod Ship shipyard in Vladivostok . In 1920 he began to familiarize himself with the use of electric welding for ship repairs, and he became a professor at the Far East State University (GDU) in Vladivostok. In 1925 he founded the first research laboratory for welding in the Soviet Union . In addition, he became rector of the GDU and remained so until 1928. In 1926, he organized the production of welded steam boilers in the Dalsavod shipyard . In 1927 he wrote the essay Use of electric welding in the construction of bridges and large iron structures . In 1928 he planned and built the completely welded Kazan Bridge from the city of Vladivostok to the Schkot Island. By 1931 he had built two more welded bridges. In 1930 he built the first fully welded tugboat in the Soviet Union. Wologdin paid great attention to training qualified welding engineers. He initiated a chair for welding in the GDU. He worked out a first study plan and gave a welding lecture for the first time. He developed a system for marking welded joints on engineering drawings, government standards for electrodes, and quality control of welds. When the GDU was divided into various institutes in 1930, Vologdin worked at the Vladivostok Far East Polytechnic Institute (DWPI) , later the State Far East Technical University (DWGTU) , where the first welding faculty was established. 1932/1933 he was director of the Vladivostok Institute of Technology of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR .

In 1933, Vologdin returned to Leningrad and became head of the welding group of the Technical Department of the Navy's Central Shipbuilding Administration (GlawMorProm) . In 1934 he became a professor at the Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute and held the welding chair from 1934 to 1949. At the same time he was a professor at the Electrofusion Institute in 1933/1934 and advised the major shipyards in the Soviet Union. In 1935 he built the first partially welded large ship in Leningrad. Under his influence, welded docks and motor ships for the Caspian Sea were built . In the German-Soviet War , welding completely replaced riveting . In the last years of his life, he directed the construction of fully welded ships in the Leningrad shipyards and continued to work scientifically and as a teacher.

The welding chair of the Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute and the container ship Professor Wiktor Vologdin were awarded Vologdin 's name. A Vologdin bust by the sculptor EW Barsegow was erected on the DWGTU's avenue of fame .
