• Optimization of phase compositions of metals and alloys for the production of tubular products (supervisor, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Nurumgaliev A.Kh.).

• Development of theoretical and technological bases for the extraction of germanium from natural and man-made raw materials (supervisor c.t.s., associate professor Musin DK).

• Development of scientific principles and the introduction of technologies for the integrated processing of slag dump slags of copper smelting production (head c.t.s., associate professor Kharchenko EM).

• Development of technologies for the production of technical silicon from briquetted mono-mixes in the ore-thermal process (led by Ph.D., associate professor Zobnin NN).

• Improving the production technology and improving the quality of technical silicon in Kazakhstan (headed by Dr. Nurumgaliev A.Kh., Ph.D., associate professor N.N. Zobnin).

• Research work of students

The department operates a research circle “Innovative technologies in metallurgy” whose main tasks are:

• development of tasks NIRS on actual problems of the metallurgical industry, with reference to the topics of course and diploma projects;

• provision of methodological assistance in the selection of literature to prepare for studies, writing essays, tests, term papers and scientific articles;

• preparation of reports for participation in the annual scientific-practical conference “The scientific creativity of the young – the innovative development of Kazakhstan”

• hearing the reports of the graduation course in the sections of the innovative parts of the graduation projects and works.
