It is known that the Uzbek-Korean scientific and technological center was established under the Association of Scientific Production of Rare Metals and Hard Alloys of AMMC. This center has been cooperating with Korean scientists for several years. A group of scientists and specialists of the Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex visited Korea within the framework of mutual cooperation.

Based on mutual scientific approaches, they are conducting research on a number of new types of products with industrial experience.

Yesterday, scientists at the KIRAM Institute of Rare Metals conducted an experiment on AMMC molybdenum oxide using a new type of furnace to save hydrogen and energy.

As a result of the experiment in a new semi-industrial furnace, 99.95% metallic molybdenum powder was obtained. Hydrogen and energy saved. Importantly, instead of a 3-step technology, a direct one-step process was used.

In the future, it was agreed to create a semi-industrial oven at AMMC.

99.995% pure molybdenum was obtained by smelting molybdenum produced at Heat Production department of AMMC in an electron furnace in KIRAM. Molybdenum of this purity is used in the semiconductor industry. In electronic microchips, metal targets of 99.995% purity are used for thin nanolayers of molybdenum and tungsten.

High-purity rare metals have sparked interest among Korean semiconductor manufacturers, and initial requests for material supply have come in.

Experts and scientists of the Complex are expected to participate in an international scientific conference during the visit.
