In 1995, with the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials, we accomplished research on "the soldering method of metal materials by the spraying film of soldering materials and on the soldering parent metals for the purpose" and obtained patent for this invention. Since then we have consistently invested in research and development and have been carrying out joint projects with the industry, the academy and the research institute. Especially we are laying a plan for a project to develop new high-functioning alloy materials in cooperation with a copper research institute in Moscow and we are currently promoting to establish a new institute to facilitate such research and development projects.
