MISIS University presented its advanced developments at the XIV International Exhibition INNOPROM-2024, held in Ekaterinburg. Representatives from 60 foreign countries participated in the event. Over 900 companies showcased their potential in sectors such as machine engineering, energy, metallurgy, industrial automation and IT, as well as pharmaceutical and medical complexes.
The main theme of this year’s event was “Technological partnership: shaping the future”. The Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Mishustin, noted that the domestic industry is demonstrating significant growth. According to the results of 2023, the manufacturing sector increased by 7.5%, and in the first five months of the current year, it grew by about 9%. Radioelectronics saw an increase of nearly 40% from January to May, while automotive manufacturing rose by approximately one-third. Business investments in fixed assets in manufacturing industries increased by almost 20% last year, amounting to around 4.5 trillion rubles.
Olga Velikaya, the Head of the College of Lifelong Learning at MISIS University, participated in a roundtable discussion titled “Educational solutions. Practical business effects and how to measure them”, where speakers discussed educational solutions for industry that address today’s technological and industrial challenges, the role of education in the lifecycle of technology development and implementation, among other topics.
MISIS University presented four industrial developments at the stand of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia:
1. Arc-PVD сoatings with enhanced hardness characteristics while maintaining high viscosity levels for various types of cutting tools and machine parts, including rollers for rolling machines, dies, and critical components. Tests conducted at the A. A. Blagonravov IMASH RAN on a setup simulating the operating conditions of highly loaded sections of the flow part of submersible blade pumps for pumping technical water showed an

2. Direct model-free 3D printing of ceramic casting molds for machine engineering, nuclear, aerospace, and aviation industries. This technology allows for the production of complex-shaped ceramic products without creating initial master models, reducing the production cycle for obtaining finished casting molds by
Developer: Ivan Kuzmin, Head of Comprehensive Projects at the Advanced Engineering School “Materials Science, Additive and Cross-Cutting Technologies”.
3. Non-standard cutters with cutting edges made from diamond-cemented carbide plates, which have increased durability, maintain sharpness well, and allow for multiple resharpening. Their cost is
Developer: Candidate of Technical Sciences Nikolai Polushin, Associate Professor at the Department of Functional Nanosystems and High-Temperature Materials, Head of the Research Laboratory for Superhard Materials.
4. Cutters made from hierarchical hard alloys for breaking asphalt surfaces. They possess increased crack resistance and wear resistance and can be used in low-temperature conditions without water cooling. They reduce costs for replacing worn-out cutters during operation by
Developer: Nikolai Polushin.
The INNOPROM exhibition has been held annually in Ekaterinburg since 2010 and is the main industrial, trade, and export platform in Russia. The exhibition is organized by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and the government of Sverdlovsk Oblast. The partner country for this year’s exhibition is the United Arab Emirates, while the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Executive Committee of the Commonwealth of Independent States act as partner organizations.
