He was born in 1975 in the city of Dnipropetrovsk. After graduating from the mathematics class of 96 Dnipropetrovsk secondary school in 1992, he entered the Dnipropetrovsk Metallurgical Institute (DMetI) at the Metal Forming Department named after Academician O.P. Chekmarev. During his study he was elected a scholarship holder of the Scholarship named after Academician O.P. Chekmarev (1995) and a Scholarship of the Academic Council of the Academy (1996), and was also chosen the best in the speciality “Best Blacksmith” (1995).
After graduation with honors in 1997 of the State Metallurgical Academy of Ukraine (since 1994 it became known as DMetI) entered postgraduate course at the Metal Forming Department named after Academician O.P. Chekmarev. After graduation from postgraduate course in 2000, he was hired by the National Metallurgical Academy of Ukraine (since 1999 it became known as the State Metallurgical Academy of Ukraine) as an assistant at the Metal Forming Department named after Academician O.P. Chekmarev.
In 2002 he defended his thesis on “Development and implementation of resource-saving technology for the manufacture of rolling rings with the final forging piercing” in the speciality “Processes and machines for metal forming”. In the same year he was awarded the degree of Candidate of Engineering Sciences and was transferred to the position of associate professor of Metal forming Department named after Academician O.P. Chekmarev of the National Metallurgical Academy of Ukraine (NMetAU).
During 2004-2005 he was the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Materials Science and Metal Forming of NMetAU. Also during 2001-2006 he was the chairman of the Council of Young Scientists of the Faculty of Materials Science and Metal Forming of NMetAU. In 2005 he received the academic title of associate professor of the Metal Forming Department and was elected a scholarship holder of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Scholarship for Young Scientists. In 2013-2018 he is the head of the section of monitoring the education quality of the Council for Ensuring the Quality of Educational Activities of NMetAU. During 2006-2007 he was the head of the Department of Metal Forming by the State Institute of Training and Retraining of Industrial Personnel (Dnipropetrovsk).
In 2014 he received a Diploma of the Chairman of the District Administration of Dnipropetrovsk, and in 2017 he received a Diploma of the Chairman of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council.
In 2017, he defended his doctoral thesis on “Development of scientific bases with a rational combination of upsetting and broaching of products of predictable quality from steels and titanium alloys” in the speciality “Processes and machines for metal forming”. In the same year he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Engineering Sciences and was transferred to the Professor position of the Metal Forming Department named after Academician O.P. Chekmarev of NMetAU.
In 2018 he became the head of the Department of Computer Modeling and Integrated Forming Technologies of National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”, as well as a member of the Academic Council of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and Transport of the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” and a member of the Academic Council of the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”. Since 2022 he is a member of the Specialized Academic Council Д64.050.12 at the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”.
In 2021, he was awarded the academic title of Professor at the Department of Computer Modeling and Integrated Metal Forming Technologies and received the Honorary Certificate from the Rector of the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”.
In 2024, he received the Honorary Award from the Mayor of Kharkiv, and in 2025, he was honored with the Honorary Certificate from the Rector of the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” for the second time.
The basis of Chukhlib’s scientific interests is the theory and technology of forging and forming production, specifically the definition of a set of rational parameters of the forging process with a combination of upsetting and broaching operations and variation of the deformation direction by theoretical and experimental study of metal deformation with initial non-uniformity of properties which makes it possible to obtain products from carbon steels, special and titanium alloys with the desired properties and savings in material costs. For the conditions of PJSC “Electrometallurgical Plant” Dniprospetsstal”, PJSC” Odessa Machine-Building Plant”, PJSC” NGO DNIPROPRESS” and LLC “DNIPROPRESS STEEL”, as well as PJSC “Novokramatorsk Machine-Building Plant” Chukhlib V.L. developed rational temperature and deformation modes of forging of carbon steels, special and titanium alloys, and when forging forging pieces and its influence on the geometric parameters of forging pieces depending on the shape of the workpiece and process factors with reduced forging coefficients to improve the mechanical properties of products. Technological processes of forging were designed at these enterprises, which allowed to reduce by 20-25% the rejection of metal during forging and reduce by 30-35% the cost of peeling forgings and improve the quality of the obtained forging pieces.
During 2005-2008 Chukhlib V.L. was a scientific consultant of PJSC “Dniprotyazhmash”, and in 2013-2015 he was a scientific consultant of PJSC “NGO Dnipropress” and during 2015-2020 he was a scientific consultant for blacksmith production of OJSC “DNIPROPRESS STEEL”.
During the pedagogical activity Chukhlib V.L. taught and teaches the following lecture courses: “Introduction to the Profession”, “Theory of plastic flow of solids”, “Theory of metal forming”, “Theory of forging and forming production”, “Technology of forging and forming production”, “Resource saving in the processing of metal forming”, “Defects and quality control of metal products”, “Processing of metal forming”, “Fundamentals of technical creativity “, etc. As of 2024 Chukhlib V.L. is the author of more than 110 scientific and methodical works published in domestic and foreign scientific editions, as well as 2 textbook stamped by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the Academic Council of the NTU “KhPI” and 6 patents.
