The research conducted by the Department of Manufacturing Technology focuses on the development of theoretical and technological foundations for processing and assembly processes, investigating the patterns of surface quality formation, and improving the operational characteristics of machine parts.
The main research areas of the department include:
The diagram below outlines the key research areas pursued by the department's faculty members:
Valery Sheleg Konstantinovich - Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor. A well-known scientist in the field of theory and practice of powder metallurgy, welding and protective coatings.
Scientific direction - development and optimization of machining conditions to ensure the quality of surfaces of parts made of powder and monolithic materials, depending on their operational purpose; creation of new environmentally friendly processing methods, technological equipment and automation tools for their implementation.
Under his leadership, 3 doctoral and 9 master's theses were defended.
BELYAEV Gennady Yakovlevich – candidate of technical sciences, professor.
Scientific direction - development and technologies for applying protective coatings to ensure the performance of machine parts.
Under his leadership, 4 candidate theses were defended
DEVOINO Oleg Georgievich – Doctor of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor.
Scientific direction - development of laser technologies for hardening machine parts.
3 Ph.D. theses were defended under his supervision.
KANE Mark Moiseevich – Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor.
Scientific direction - improving the quality of machines, including gears and gears.
Under his leadership, 3 PhDs were defended.
KASHTALYAN Ivan Alekseevich – Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor.
Scientific direction - control of shaping processes on machine tools and CNC machine tools.
Under his leadership, 1 candidate and 12 master's theses were defended.
MROCHEK Zhorzh Adamovich - Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor.
Scientific direction - engineering technology, electrophysical and electrochemical methods of material processing.
Under the leadership of Mrochek Zh.A. 5 doctoral and 4 master's theses were defended.
Employees of the department participate in the implementation of fundamental research projects financed from the Republican budget: SPPI “Materials in Engineering”; GKPNI "Mechanics", GPOFNI "High-energy, nuclear and radiation technologies"; applied SSTP "Technologies and Equipment of Mechanical Engineering", "New Materials and Technologies - 2010", as well as under direct business contracts with enterprises.
Only in 2008, according to the results of the study, the staff of the department published 1 monograph, 73 articles, 14 of them abroad.
Master's, candidate's and doctoral dissertations are carried out under the guidance of the staff of the department. In 2008, there were 3 undergraduates, 7 postgraduates, 1 doctoral student and 3 applicants.
During these research projects, students gain practical experience in developing methodologies and conducting theoretical and experimental studies, as well as analyzing the results obtained. Completed works of scientific and practical value are published in thematic collections and journals. Students actively participate in annual conferences at the Belarusian National Technical University (BNTU), as well as national and international student conferences, where abstracts and collections of articles are published based on their presentations. The best works are integrated into the educational process—both in laboratory and practical assignments, coursework, diploma projects, and in methodological and educational materials—and are also applied in industry.
The topics of student research reflect the scientific directions of the department and are widely represented annually at student scientific and technical conferences of all levels. For instance, in 2013, 6 participants took part in international conferences, and 76 participated in the 67th annual Student Scientific and Technical Conference (SNTC). At the Republican Review Contest, 4 works were presented, with 2 individuals receiving second-degree diplomas. Additionally, students published 4 articles and submitted a patent application. As a result of their research work, 2 individuals were accepted into postgraduate programs.
