The guests got acquainted with scientific-research and manufacturing complexes, laboratories, and high-technology low-tonnage manufactures.
The representatives of “Rosatom” paid great attention to developments of VIAM in the field of additive technologies. It should be noted that additive manufacturing of full cycle, including development of powder compositions, 3d-models, designing of synthesis technology support, was developed at VIAM.
“The infrastructure of the institute allows developing technologies in a short time and producing parts, complying with the requirements of normative documentations”, - Olga G. Ospennikova, Head of scientific-research bureau of VIAM pointed out.
Powder compositions of 28 grades have currently been developed at VIAM. Moreover, one of them has been already used to produce specific detail, introduced to design document. This is front combustion chamber swirler of advanced engine PD-14.
In the course of the visit, the parties discussed prospects for cooperation in the field of additive technologies. As Sergey Petrov declared, “VIAM is the key driving force in development of additive manufacturing in the Russian Federation”.
