- 1951 – technology and equipment for electroslag welding (ESW) of metal up to 2000 mm thickness were used for a manufacture of the powerful water turbines (as for Assouan hydroelectric power station, Egypt) and presses (as for France, at photo on the right).
- 1952 – electroslag remelting (ERM) of steel was developed. Beginning of the electroslag technologies. Machine for butt welding with annular transformer was also developed. CO2 - welding was developed (in cooperation with Central Research Institute of Machine Building, Moscow, Russia). CO2 welding allowed mechanizing the manufacture of steel structures in shipbuilding and thin-sheet metal structures in automotive industry etc.
- 1953 – the biggest in Europe allwelded bridge across the Dnieper River, which was named after E. O. Paton, was put in operation in Kiev. 98% of all welds, including vertical ones, were performed using automatic submerged-arc welding. In the period of 1950-1960 a number of different building and structures in chemical industry and hydropower engineering was erected using the technologies which were developed in the E. O. Paton Electric Welding Institute.
- 1956 – pilot machine for electroslag remelting was created.
- 1957 - plasma-arc remelting discovered a new direction in special electrometallurgy. Machine for plasma-arc remelting of rim zones of the ingots was developed.
- 1958 – Machine for continuous resistance butt welding of thick-walled pipes and rails was developed. System of equipment, based on K-900 type rail-welding machine for welding of long rails. Case of a high-power diesel engine for the locomotive, was manufactured with the help of resistance butt welding.
1950-1960
