Abstract:
The article overviews key problems of the development of automatic welding of armor in the USSR at the pre-war and war periods, the basic prerequisites for its occurrence and shows the technical and economic consequences of its introduction in the tank industry. The importance of this technology caused in the formation of the production base of Soviet tank building in the conditions of evacuation to the east of the country. Traditionally, the technology of automatic welding of armor was estimated as an important achievement of Soviet science and technology, attention was focused for a long time only on the advantages of this technology, which is only partially true. The question of the quality of the welds obtained using this technology began to be discussed only at the present stage of the development of historiography. This work shows the main reasons for the decrease in the mechanical strength of the T-34 tank hulls made using automatic welding during. The article gives overview of the main types of automatic welding machines created in the USSR for the demands of the tank industry during the Great Patriotic war. The publication reflects the role of «Uralmash» as the most important center for the development of automatic armor welding at the Urals and the USSR during the war time. In addition, the work raises the question of the real authorship of this technology, developed at the Institute of Electric Welding (IEW) of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR under the leadership of academician E.O. Paton, with whose name this discovery is usually associated. The creation of this technology was maintained by the collective creativity of a large group of engineers and researchers, but their names were undeservedly left to come into oblivion.
