Inventors from Belarus (Alexander Laskovnev)

Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Corresponding Member, Doctor of Technical Sciences, scientist in the field of materials science.

Alexander Laskovnev was born on March 23, 1949 in Rossony, Vitebsk region. He studied at the Machine-Building Faculty of the Belarusian Polytechnic Institute and then worked as an engineer designer in the Department of New Techniques of the Minsk Watch Plant; at the Physico-Technical Institute (PTI) by the BSSR Academy of Sciences, having served as: a senior engineer, junior researcher, researcher, senior researcher, head of the laboratory, deputy director for Scientific Personal Work, chief researcher.

A. Laskovnev is a well-known scientist in the field of creating and processing aluminium-based composite and powder materials. The area of his scientific interests covers material science, composite materials, powder metallurgy. It was he who first proved the possibility of obtaining composite silumin with a high silicon content and particles having a layered structure using casting and pressure-treating, and implemented fundamentally new approaches to modify the surface properties of materials and improve their operational characteristics.

Based on research conducted by A. Laskovev and his colleagues, new antifriction alloys and the regulatory framework for composite materials were developed and implemented. Developments in the sphere of antifriction materials were noted by a “Genius-96” diploma at the European Competition of Intellectual Property in Budapest.

Under the direct leadership of A. Laskovyova, areas for the production of composite sliding bearings and bimetallic pistons, the processing of stroke waste with the production of powders, composite and ceramic materials were created; the very first Belarusian installation of the electroslag melting of instrumental steels was developed and implemented at the Minsk Tractor Plant.

A. Laskovnev is the author of more than 200 scientific works, including 4 monographs, 53 patents of the Republic of Belarus and foreign countries.

It was awarded with the badge “For the contribution to the development of powder metallurgy”, the prizes of the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Belarus, the V. Ignatovsky Badge of Distinction of the Belarus Academy of Sciences.
