Aerolloy Tech Completes Installation of Plasma Arc Melting Furnace at Lucknow Facility

Aerolloy Technologies Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of PTC Industries Ltd, said in an exchange filing, that it has successfully completed the installation of its plasma arc melting furnace at its Strategic Manufacturing Technology Centre in Lucknow.

The furnace has an installed capacity of around 600 tonnes per year for manufacturing titanium alloy ingots. The company said all electrical, mechanical and control panel installations have been completed, and the facility is now ready for trials followed by commissioning.

Plasma arc melting is used to produce high-quality titanium and specialty alloys under controlled atmospheres, offering higher metallurgical cleanliness and precise chemistry control. The technology also allows efficient remelting and recycling of internal metallic scrap and supports the production of specialised titanium alloys in smaller batch sizes.

Aerolloy said the new facility will improve operational flexibility and cost efficiency by enabling reuse of internally generated material returns and reducing dependence on fresh raw materials. The company added that the furnace will support customised titanium alloy production for aerospace, defence and space programmes.

With this addition, alongside its existing vacuum arc remelting and vacuum induction melting capabilities, Aerolloy said it has further strengthened its position as one of the most integrated titanium and superalloy manufacturing platforms in the region.
