Who we are
Department ¹20 "Perspective resource-saving technologies of machining" is structural division of V.N. Bakul Institute for Superhard Materials.
The scientific and applied interests include developing of the theory and application of resource-saving processes of cutting and cold plastic deforming (the CPD) for improving of functional and working behavior of hardware, geome-trical and mechanical properties of surface layer; shaping processes for surfaces of an intricate profile at gears, spline drives, ball joints, and also a medical implants by tools from super-hard and other advanced tool materials.
In particular, researches are directed on:
•developing of the theory and practice of perspective resource-saving proce-sses of cutting and the CPD by tools from super-hard and other advanced tool materials;
•developing of the scientific basic of improving of a resource of a hardware by the CPD, including:
-creating of surfaces of an intricate profile in article of type "bush" by reducing method;
-creating of a gradient structures (small-grained and/or nano-sized) in surface layer of materials including titanium and its alloys;
-engineering of surface layer of materials, including titanium and its alloys, by a combination of the CPD and thermal diffusion saturation by penetration elements;
-compacting of powder materials with necessary porosity by the localized step CPD into closed space;
•developing of the scientific basic for diamond machining of a medical implants from advanced materials (sapphire, biologically inert ceramics and metal alloys), including joint components for endoprostheses of joints in order to improve its working life;
•developing of the scientific basic of creating of the surfaces of an intricate profile at gears, spline drives and another hardware by cutting and/or deforming tools.

Main achievements
•Radial compacting method by means of the localized step CPD into closed space was created for decrease of porosity from 30‰ to 5‰ at long-length (5…10 diameters) sleeves from powder materials
•Technologies was developed for creating of spherical surfaces at medical implants of type "truncated ball":
- on sapphire and biologically inert ceramics with non-sphericity <1 µm and roughness Ra<0,02 after diam-ond machining;
- on pure titanium with non-spheri-city < 3 µm and roughness Ra<0,04 after a combination of surface strain hardening and diamond machining;
•To create gears of any profile by worm, disk-shaped or rack tools were proposed due to developing of theo-retical basic, new cinematic scheme and technological ways.
