recent history
In the 1930s, the “Centrolit” foundry of high productivity at that time was opened near Tbilisi, which supplied machine-building factories with its products. Thus, by the 30s of the last century, life required the establishment of a specialized laboratory for research in the field of metallurgy. Academician of the current head of the Institute of Chemistry named after P. Melikishvili. Under the leadership of L. Pirsazhevsky and G. Nikoladze, the organization of such a subdivision was being prepared. Unfortunately, G. Nikoladze could not witness the implementation of this idea. 1935 A metallurgy department was opened in the Institute of Chemistry, which was the first scientific research center in this field and can be considered as the germ of today’s Institute of Metallurgy. In 1937, the department was transformed into a laboratory. His administration Eng. I trusted A. Khvichia, And the scientific leadership was asked to the famous Russian scientist-metallurgist Academician A. Baikov. After the war, in 1945, the metallurgical laboratory of the P. Melikishvili Institute of Chemistry was established as a separate unit – the Institute of Metal and Mining Affairs of the Georgian Academy of Sciences. In 1957-2002 it was called the Institute of Metallurgy, in 2002-2006 it was called the Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science, and since 2006 it has been called the Ferdinand Tavadze Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science of a legal entity under public law (SSIP). Since 1990, the institute has been named after academician Ferdinand Tavadze, who was its director in 1951-1989. In 1957-2002 it was called the Institute of Metallurgy, in 2002-2006 it was called the Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science, and since 2006 it has been called the Ferdinand Tavadze Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science of a legal entity under public law (SSIP).
