Metallurgist Day is a celebration of strong and real men. People in this profession accept heartfelt congratulations on the third Sunday of July. This date has been celebrated since the time of the mighty Soviet Union. Those who work in this profession are distinguished by their special stamina, high dedication, courage, endurance and other positive human qualities. Anyone who has chosen such a specialty knows that it is difficult and quite dangerous, but at the same time very significant and even romantic.
If there were no metallurgy, our life would not be so comfortable and carefree, because metal, which is smelted and converted into tens of hundreds of products, surrounds a person everywhere, starting from cars and ending with pipelines through which oil or gas flows. He came into our modern life so long ago that, using metal products, we simply can’t imagine what a laborious process it is to melt steel. That is why professional holidays are created so that on this day a person can understand what an important and useful work he does for the country every day.
Metallurgist Day is a holiday of fearless and courageous people who have chosen the profession once and for all. According to statistics, metallurgists almost never change their jobs throughout their lives. It can be seen that people come to this industry by vocation. They are attracted by the magic of pouring metal, they work every day at rolling mills and furnaces.
Without this industry, there would not have been many others, because metal is the foundation of the entire production as a whole. Therefore, the Day of the metallurgist is a holiday of special significance.
It so happened historically that metallurgy has always been one of the basic sectors of the Russian economy . It has been developed since the time of Peter I, when he allowed Nikita Demidov to build several steel mills in the Urals. Already in 1720, Demidov enterprises smelted two-thirds of the state’s metal, although a professional holiday did not exist then.
Currently, Metallurgist Day is one of the holidays that is loved and widely celebrated in Russia, and was established in 1957. It was a time of economic growth. As in previous times, the metallurgical industry is the real bread of the Russian industry, thanks to which prospects are opened for other, no less important, varieties of industry. It is with her participation that the economic power of the state is emphasized.
How is Metallurgist Day celebrated? This is an interesting question, because metal smelting is a continuous technological process and it often happens that a specialist notes it simply at his workplace, by a blast furnace.
But in fact, this holiday has its own traditions and customs. Congratulations on Metallurgist Day are classic and have been built up over the years. As a rule, modern metallurgical plants are city-forming enterprises. The material prosperity of cities and entire regions largely depends on their development and stability. Therefore, this holiday is important for all those who have no direct relationship because of professional affiliation to it.
Congratulations on Metallurgist Day are uniquely solemn. On this day, employees of specialized enterprises receive special awards. The festive atmosphere that prevails on the Day of Metallurgists, especially emphasizes its significance. This is a celebration for all those who are engaged in metal processing, steel smelting, constructing tools and complex parts from fire metal. Therefore, they all gather as a friendly, united brigade, and celebrate the victories achieved over the year.
