Basic information

VNIIavtogenmash Open Joint Stock Company, Moscow

Institute for autogenous mechanical engineering was established in February 1944 at the initiative of the Academician P.L. Kapitsa. The institute started its activities with the development of technologies and equipment for oxygen cutting using substitutes of acetylene, underwater gaseous oxy-fuel cutting. The technology of gas-electric cutting was created in 1950s. In 1960s, the Institute received the status of research and design organization and was renamed into the VNIIavtogenmash. This period was the beginning of a new stage of scientific research and development activities of the Institute, which made a great contribution to the development of autogenous engineering.

In 1970, based on the Government’s decision the Institute was named the country’s head organization for autogenous engineering and thermal cutting. In this regard, the Institute has been assigned a wide range of tasks:

• to develop and forecast the main directions of technical progress of gas-flame processing and thermal cutting of metals and prepare specific proposals for their implementation;
• to coordinate and conduct research, design, technological and experimental work;
• to develop state standards and normative and technical documentation for occupational health and safety in its sector.

At present, VNIIavtogenmash OJSC is the country’s leading organization, engaged in research and design of autogenous (gas-flame) technologies and performs complex works on the creation and implementation of equipment for thermal cutting, gas-thermal spraying of coatings, gas and gas-arc welding, surfacing, brazing and related processes of gas control, gas supply, systems engineering and other works.
