Abstract

In 1935, Professor V.P. Vologdin and engineer B.N. Romanov conducted successful experiments on the use of high frequency currents (HFC) for induction surface hardening. The overwhelming success of this technology at tank factories during the Great Patriotic War was highly appreciated by the government of the USSR and in 1947 the All-Union Research Institute of High Frequency Currents (VNIITVCH) was created. The article discusses the organization of scientific research at the institute and at the department of Saint. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University (LETI), the features of the organization of the educational process, the achievements of recent years and promising areas of research on metal processing in an alternating electromagnetic field.
