The technology for producing a new class of structural materials – layered intermetallic composites – involves explosive welding of multilayer packages and their subsequent rolling to a thickness that, after final high-temperature heat treatment, provides a given volume ratio of the main layers and those formed as a result of diffusion of intermetallic layers. According to data from previous studies, a significant increase in the intensity of diffusion processes at the interlayer boundaries can be achieved by carrying out heat treatment at temperatures above the eutectic transformation temperature (that is, during the so-called contact melting), as well as in the presence of a liquid phase.

Metallurgy is a key sector of heavy industry (mechanical engineering, energy, construction, etc.) and could become a driving force for the development of Russia's eastern regions and other sparsely populated areas. However, large-scale investments for the construction of traditional full-cycle metallurgical plants are unlikely, as the global metallurgy industry is in a rather challenging position due to its gigantic size, multi-tiered nature, and high energy and material costs.

It is known that forced vibrations and stirring of the melt (mechanical and ultrasonic vibrations, gas blowing, superimposed electromagnetic oscillations) during solidification effectively refine the structure of the cast alloy, but the mechanism of grain refinement has not been sufficiently studied. There is no consensus among researchers on this issue.

In the practice of developing ore deposits, there are numerous examples of the development of blind ore deposits in the mines of the Urals, Altai, Far East, Gornaya Shoria, Khakassia (Russia), Krivoy Rog (Ukraine), Leninogorsk Polymetallic Plant (Kazakhstan)

Kuzbass is one of the most developed industrial regions of Russia. The activities of coal enterprises located in the Kemerovo region have led to the formation of man-made landscapes on the site of once fertile lands. The main areas of man-made landscapes are represented by waste heaps and quarry excavations formed as a result of the development of coal deposits.

Recently, there has been a global trend toward increasing solid fuel consumption in boiler units and installations. The deterioration of fuel quality and the existing limitations of traditional furnace designs, as well as their low efficiency when burning low-grade coal, are stimulating the search for ways to improve combustion methods, which in turn virtually completely determine the boiler design and, accordingly, its technological, economic, and environmental performance.

One of the benefits of automating building heating systems is the reduction in fuel consumption for the heat generator due to the systems' response to external disturbances associated with additional heat input. One type of additional heat input is solar radiation reaching buildings, which intensifies in the fall and spring months.

In today's environment, the development of nanotechnology determines the competitiveness of states in the global community and the degree to which they can ensure their national security. One important area of ​​nanotechnology development is the production of materials based on transition metal carbides and carbonitrides. Such materials are typically refractory, have high hardness, and are wear- and corrosion-resistant. However, for the effective use of nanoscale carbides and carbonitrides in composite materials, it is necessary to study their physicochemical properties.

Previously, the mechanism and kinetics of gas corrosion of commercially pure VT1-0 titanium in a carbon tetrachloride atmosphere and a temperature range of 573–773 K were studied. Using chemical reaction methods combined with X-ray phase analysis, it was found that at 673 K and above, the metal undergoes a constant transition to the gas phase as titanium tetrachloride during isothermal holding, and a porous, non-protective film of amorphous carbon forms on the sample.

Experience in developing, implementing, and operating complex industrial automation systems shows that, due to technical, organizational, and time constraints, the greatest amount of system debugging—adjusting hardware, algorithms, software, and information support, and training production (technological and maintenance) personnel—must be performed during the period when construction of the control facility is not yet complete and the process lines are still being installed.

In order to identify the possibility of implementing various processes in a process unit, a methodology for calculating, studying, and optimizing processes in elementary systems using the Terra software package was developed. Thermodynamic studies were conducted for a number of systems using this methodology.

Along with mineral extraction, the greatest environmental hazard in land use is the formation of industrial waste dumps and tailings dams. Kuzbass ranks among the leading regions in Russia in terms of the amount of industrial waste generated. Storing waste in tailings dams creates the risk of man-made accidents and damage, which could lead to catastrophic consequences on a regional scale. Under the influence of external factors (weathering, leaching), waste particles with a high content of toxic substances, including heavy metals, cause pollution of the fertile soil layer, water resources, and the ground layers of the atmosphere, which in turn has a direct impact on the health of the population of adjacent areas.

Modern auditing is based on the concept of risk, the essence of which lies in identifying the areas of greatest risk in accounting and reporting and, accordingly, developing an audit strategy. Particular attention is paid to those accounting areas where the risk of material errors in reporting is greatest.

Simulation has long been widely used for various purposes. For example, a model of an object can be used in a control system as an additional source of information. If the model operates faster than the object, it can be used as a testing ground to "train" the controller. If information about the object arrives discretely and with a significant delay, the model can be used as a source of continuous information. In both cases, this ensures better control quality.
