In the laboratory there are developed some principally new powders to make coatings with a high complex of physical-mechanical properties and powders containing metal-like phases (carbides, nitrides, borides etc.) being produced using methods of grinding, conglomerating on binders, zol-gel technologies, mechanical alloying, SHS.

A priority character of technical solutions is confirmed with many inventor's certificates and patents on methods of production of powders and their compositions.

The presence of normative documentation on these materials (technical conditions, guiding materials) and a wide application in industry both in the Republic of Belarus and abroad, testify to the solution of the problem and to the need in the proposed powder materials of the consumers.

          There are developed technologies of spraying plasma heat resistant and heat shield coatings on blocks of nozzle blades of the 1st and the 2nd stage and a combustion chamber of aviation gas turbine engines, antifrictional and frictional coatings on the base of bronze and molibdenum, on block rings of gear-boxes and hydrocylinders pistons, wear resistant coatings on the base of oxide ce-ramics on parts of production of chemical filaments and thermal equipment as well as on coatings from self-fluxing alloys and compositions on their base on a wide scale of parts of general machine building purposes. There are carried out works to improve characteristics of heat shield coatings using methods of impulse laser treatment. Some "know-haws", ensuring a high quality, are used when optimizing a technology of spraying coatings. The developments are patented 15 times and are awarded the State bonus of Belarus.

          An output of bioactive powder, granulated and compacted materials on the base of hydroxyapatite with additives of an inert ceramic component was mastered together with the Institute of a nonorganic chemistry of NAScB. They are produced both in an amorphous state (for injections, impregnation of porous implants) and in a crystal state (for spraying coatings). Methods of produc-ing powder materials on the base of the hydroxyapatite and spraying coatings on implants for stomatology and surgery are patented.

          There are carried out developments in the field of spraying wear-resistant coatings, a specific feature of which is formation of the structure with surplus carbide phase inclusions of a solid lubricant in the form of graph-ite, a molybdenum disulphide, a calcium fluoride. Such coatings are characterized by wear-resistivity under various conditions of friction, unfavourable ones amongst (high contact loadings and temperature regimes of exploi-tation of tribocouplings, an unperfect lubricant).

          More than 60 technological processes and techno-logical instructions are developed, which are used on more than 40 specialized bays to spray powder protective coatings. A lot of equipment and devices have been pro-duced, which make a complete cycle of a technological provision from production of powders, preparing parts to be sprayed, forming coatings with the following ther-mal and a thermo mechanical treatment. Implementation of the authors' developments enabled to increase a dura-bility of various restored and strengthened parts of ma-chines and equipment 1,5 and more times in average to save expensive materials.

          Lately an enhanced interest to the obtained results from some organizations and companies of the USA, Switzerland, Germany, Corea and a carrying out of works according to international contracts with the USA, Germany, India, Israel, Bulgaria, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates speaks in favor of their high level.
