In particular, only with the help of such solutions, the use of the client's products is economical, which allows, at a higher cost (and quality) of the material, to ensure its lower consumption. Thus, the loss of rights to technological solutions will seriously undermine the competitive advantages of the client in a very narrow metallurgy market
