Between 1944 and 1959 he also taught at the S. M. Kirov Urals Polytechnic Institute, where he became a professor in 1946.

Sadovskii’s major works deal with the kinetics of the transformation of supercooled austenite, the theory of phase recrys-tallization of steels during heating, the hardening of steels and alloys (high-temperature thermomechanical treatment, phase cold working, and magnetic thermomechanical treatment), alloying, and the temper brittleness of steels. Sadovskii has been awarded the Order of the Red Star.
