STATE SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION "POWDER METALLURGY INSTITUTE".STRUCTURE

         Now 270 employees work in the Institute. 223 specialists, 40 candidates and 3 Doctors of sciences amongst go in for research investigations and developments.
The PMI includes 6 main subdivisions:

     Department of machine building materials;
     Department of porous materials;
     Department of standardization and metrology;
     Department of Material Investigation and Testing;
     Pilot-productional industry;

as well as some auxiliary subdivisions:

• production planning department;
• accounting department,
• department of marketing and commercial relations
• department of scientific and technical information
• department of the chief mechanical engineer and power engineering specialist
• department of the chief metrolog and CMD.

     Field of scientific interests
- powder metallurgy of titanium and titanium alloys.

    With his direct assistance developed is the technology and created is industrial production of porous disc aerators, being sintered from titanium powder and widely used in the technology of purification of potable water and process water, of water treatment of more than 10 towns and 6 large industrial enterprises of CIS.

     He created a new direction of works, being concerned with the production of porous and composite orthopedic implants from spongy titanium powder with optimal biochemical and others operational properties. Carried out the investigations and developed are the methods and devices to control properties of porous powder materials.

    Field of scientific interests - technology of production of porous powder materials, including materials with an anisotropic pore structure. With his direct assistance an experimental-industrial production of powder copper alloys by the method of dispersion is mastered in the Institute; the production of filtering elements from bronze powders, as well as corrosion resistant steel, heat pipes with a powder capillary structure on the copper base and effective heat sinks, made thereof, is organized on the Pilot Plant of the Institute and on the Powder Metallurgy Plant in Molodechno.
