I.A. Mikhailovskiy’s scientific contributions

Modern technology of hardware production occupies an important place in ensuring the fabrication of metal products for various industries. Production of steel rail fastening elements, such as spring-loaded clips, which play a significant role in improving the efficiency and safety of rail transport, is an important application of such technology. These products are characterized by complex shape, high quality requirements, as well as high level of physical, mechanical and performance properties. OJSC "MMK-METIZ" is one of the leading Russian companies producing railway hardware. Currently, to maintain its position in the market of rail fasteners, the company implemented a number of research, development and engineering works in the field of organization of production of bar-shaped spring clips OP-105 and ZhBR. As a result of these works, the required level of quality of the finished products has been achieved, allowing the use of manufactured spring clips on the railways of Russia.
