What do you think about Metal grease for mounting?

Is that a grease or what?

Are you inquiring about anti-seize compounds that contain metal powder?

If so, they are generally not designed for lubrication purposes. They
contain grease as a carrier to allow the compound to stick to the
surfaces that they are applied.

As you say, it's for mounting or assembly of parts that essentially do
not move in use. The reason for using this is that interfaces such as
freewheels, pedals and other screwed-on parts, fret with micro motions
that displace any oil in the interface and cause local welding. With
soft metal flakes in the grease, these particles are not displace, not
being able to flow, and make the part removable after long use. Most
people who remember removing sprockets and freewheels that screwed on
have a feel for metal seizure (local welding). Anti-Seize compound
are designed to lessen that effect.
