Igor Gorynin

Igor Gorynin is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Igor Gorynin rather than just read about it. In short: Igor Vasilyevich Gorynin (Russian: Игорь Васильевич Горынин; 10 March 1926 – 9 May 2015) was a Soviet and Russian metallurgist, creator of many new titanium and aluminium alloys, and reactor steels. He was the director of the Prometey Central Scientific Research Institute Of Structural Materials.

Key takeaways

Igor Gorynin belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Igor Gorynin to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Igor Gorynin from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Igor Vasilyevich Gorynin (Russian: Игорь Васильевич Горынин; 10 March 1926 – 9 May 2015) was a Soviet and Russian metallurgist, creator of many new titanium and aluminium alloys, and reactor steels. He was the director of the Prometey Central Scientific Research Institute Of Structural Materials.

Biography Igor Gorynin was born in Leningrad in 1926. He graduated from the Department of Metallurgy of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute in 1949 After graduation he worked for a few months for the transformer plant in Zaporizhzhia (Zaporozhye Transformer Plant) then started to work for the Central Research Institute of Structural Materials Prometey. Since 1977 he has been the director of the Institute. In 1957, he became a Candidate of Science for his works on plastic deformation on the properties for the high-strength steels for ship hulls. In 1967, he became a Doctor of Science for his work on the construction materials for nuclear reactors. In 1971 he became a Professor, in 1979 he became a Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union and since 1984 a Full member of the Academy. In 1989 he was elected to Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union (from the Academy of Science) and took part in the historic dissolution of the Soviet Union. He died at the age of 89 in Saint Petersburg in 2015.

Works Gorynin wrote on doping of metallic alloy and its effects on plastic deformations and physical properties of the alloys. These works allowed him to create a number of alloys with unique properties. Among the most important Gorynin materials are weldable titanium alloys for machine building and shipbuilding. He also created high-strength aluminum alloys. These alloys are claimed to have the highest specific strength of all known weldable metallic materials. Gorynin invented of the radiation hardened steels used for nautical and stationary nuclear reactors and other compositional and functional materials with special requirements. He was a leader of the World Association of Materials Science. He is the member of the RAS Bureau of the Department of Chemistry and Science of Materials, member of the Presidium of St. Petersburg RAS Scientific Center, the Chairman of the RAS Coordination Council on the problems of the studies and creation of structural materials for the thermonuclear reactors, the Chairman of the RAS National Committee on welding, the President of the Interregional Union of Scientific and Engineering Public Associations, the member of the International Organizational Committee of the World Titanium Congress, etc.

Awards Igor Gorynin was awarded:

two orders of the Red Banner of Labour (1959, 1970); Lenin Prize (1963); USSR State Prize (1974); Order of Lenin (1981); Order of the October Revolution (1986); State Prize of the Russian Federation (1994 and 2006); Order "For Merit to the Fatherland", 2nd (2002) and 3rd (1996) class; Order of Saint Daniil of Moscow (1996); La Crus de Comendator al Merito Belgo-Hispanico) (1997); Aleksey Krylov prize (2001); Dmitry Chernov's medal (2001)

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Igor Gorynin

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Igor Gorynin claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Igor Gorynin before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Igor Gorynin ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Igor Gorynin

In research: Igor Gorynin appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Igor Gorynin in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Igor Gorynin is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1926 births, 2015 deaths, 20th-century Russian scientists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Igor Gorynin outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
