Ekaterinburg Non-Ferrous Metals Processing Plant JSC has started developing a number of strategic projects on enhancing the quality and consumer properties of the current product range.

For example, the specialists of the Plant’s Science and Technology Department (STD) are currently developing composite dispersion strengthened materials that will enable to significantly increase the lifetime of glass melters and catalyst gauzes produced by EZOCM JSC. Accordingly, the lifetime of catalytic systems used by the customers – nitric and chemical industry enterprises – will grow. At the same time, STD is developing the technology of production of steel gauzes with precious metals coating that will allow reducing of precious metals content in catalyst which would mean reduction of the gauzes cost.

Another project is the development of equipment for the use of ultrasound in silver alloying processes. This is necessary for improvement of properties of the silver targets used in the process of glass production: under the action of ultrasound the target grain is reduced at the melting stage, and the amount of trace gases reduces as well. Such target is more stable, which is the key requirement of the customers.

The implementation of these projects of Science and Technology Department aimed at creation of new products, improvement of the current products and development of the Plant’s production should be completed by the beginning of the year 2020. After that EZOCM JSC will start deliveries of the new products and enhanced products to the Russian and foreign markets.
