In recent years, the Russian metal processing market has shown steady growth, largely driven by the need for technological sovereignty, active import substitution, and the adoption of modern manufacturing technologies. Following the exit of several foreign suppliers, domestic enterprises faced the challenge not only of maintaining previous production levels but also of ensuring product competitiveness in response to rising demands from clients across diverse sectors — from automotive and heavy ...

Employees of the Giredmet Institute (part of the Chemical Technology Cluster of Rosatom's Science Division) have developed an import-substituting technology for producing pure metals - zirconium and hafnium. The innovative method makes it possible to produce metal powders with a particle size that makes them a raw material for powder metallurgy and additive technologies. “Now, certain restrictions are imposed on the import of zirconium and hafnium to Russia,” explained Sergey Melnikov, scientific ...

Scientists of the Saratov State Technical University named after Y. Gagarin have developed a method of creating protective tantalum coatings on titanium, which makes it possible to control the composition, structure and properties of the created layer and achieve its greater mechanical strength. The development can be used in medicine for creation of biocompatible implants, as well as for the protection of titanium components equipment operating in aggressive environments, such as marine vessels ...
