The technology of obtaining the Kazakhstansky alloy is being implemented at a plant in Kyrgyzstan.

The technology for producing a unique alloy, developed by Kazakhstani scientists from the RSE "National Center for Integrated Processing of Mineral Raw Materials of Kazakhstan", is being implemented at a plant in Kyrgyzstan, the press service of the Committee of Industry of the Ministry of Industry and New Technologies of Kazakhstan reports.

According to the ministry, in Bishkek, the Kazakh delegation headed by the Chairman of the Committee of Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Trade B. Kasymbekov met with the Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan D.Otorbaev.

"The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss the construction of a ferrosilicon aluminum production plant in the city of Tash-Kumyr (Jalal-Abad region, Kyrgyzstan) and the integration of Kazakh science and the energy system of Kyrgyzstan. A new and globally unique technology for producing Kazakhstansky alloy will be introduced at this plant," the report says.

Ferrosilicon aluminum alloy "Kazakhstansky" is used for deoxidation of steel, as a reducing agent in electrothermal processes and explosives.

The European patent, patents of South Africa, Algeria, Mexico, China, Japan, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan were obtained for the Kazakhstansky alloy.

According to the results of marketing research, the confirmed demand for Kazakhstansky alloy today is 800 thousand tons per year, and it is expected to increase to 6 million tons per year in the future.

As noted in the message of the ministry, the alloy has been successfully tested at a number of the largest steelmaking enterprises in the world, including Thyssen Krupp (Germany), POSCO (South Korea), Chelak Oglu (Turkey). Posco plans to use Kazakhstansky alloy in addition to steelmaking and in a new technological process for producing metallic magnesium with a consumption volume of 100 thousand tons per year. At the request of Hanwa, experimental batches of the alloy were put to the test at the Japanese Kobe Steel and Nippon Steel Sumimoto Metals plants.
