Mongolia has built its first-ever European high-tech metal powder plant, with an annual capacity of 3,000 tons of powders of copper, brass, bronze, tin and other metals.

The plant was built by Steppe Metal Powder LLC in cooperation with Mongolian engineers and technicians and German experts.

The powder metallurgy plant is expected to export its products to countries and regions in high demand for metal powders, such as China, South Korea, Japan, India and the European Union.

Plant’s Technology Manager M.Chinbayar said the factory becomes an advanced technology that can be used in any field, adding that any type of metal can be ground using atomization technology.

Its Executive Director Askhar Bakyei said the factory, which was put into operation last month, faces temporary challenges of logistics. He said through powder metallurgy and 3D printing, metal powder can be used to produce high-end parts for automotive and industrial equipment.
