The Uzbekistan Technological Metals Complex has signed a memorandum of cooperation in South Korea with the Center for Advanced Materials and Parts of Powder (CAMP2) and Korea Powder Metallurgy in the field of advanced powder metallurgy and magnetic materials.
The cooperation aims to develop technologies for magnetic materials based on rare-earth elements and to implement modern solutions in powder metallurgy.
The parties intend to facilitate the establishment of sustainable production in Uzbekistan of high-performance magnetic powders, high-purity magnetic parts, and industrial components based on REEs.
The memorandum outlines the following areas of collaboration:
➡️ Transfer of advanced technologies in powder metallurgy and REE-based magnetic materials;
➡️ Development of magnetic powder materials, high-purity magnetic materials, and new types of materials;
➡️ Pilot- and industrial-scale implementation of technologies, as well as their adaptation for localization programs;
➡️ Development of technologies for producing REE-based magnetic materials in Uzbekistan;
➡️ Organization of internships, industrial training, and expert exchanges.
Additionally, the parties agreed to conduct applied scientific research in powder metallurgy, participate in joint grant projects, perform laboratory testing and material characterization, and cooperate on publishing scientific articles and patenting.
For reference: CAMP2 is a leading South Korean research center specializing in advanced materials science, powder metallurgy, and the development of magnetic materials. The Center focuses on bridging fundamental and applied research with industry needs, as well as on technology commercialization.
