Aerolloy Technologies Commissions State-of-the-Art Vacuum Arc Remelting Furnace for Large Titanium Castings

Aerolloy Technologies Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of PTC Industries Limited and a manufacturer of high-precision metal components and materials for critical aerospace and defence applications, today announced the successful installation and commissioning of its state-of-the-art Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) 400 Furnace at the Aerospace Precision Castings Plant within the Strategic Materials Technology Complex (SMTC) in Lucknow Node of the UP Defence Industrial Corridor.

With this commissioning, Aerolloy now has the capability to manufacture some of the largest Titanium castings in the world. This specialised capability is critical for next-generation aeroengines and defence platforms and is held by only a very limited number of companies worldwide.

Speaking at this occasion Mr. Sachin Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director of PTC Industries, said: "The commissioning of the large Vacuum Arc Remelting furnace is a strategic milestone for Aerolloy and PTC Industries. With this facility, Aerolloy can now manufacture large Titanium castings required for the most demanding civil and military aeroengine applications, as well as for advanced defence and space platforms.

Importantly, following the recent commissioning of our large Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) furnace for Superalloy castings, Aerolloy has become one of the two companies in the world with the ability to manufacture large investment castings in both Titanium alloys and Superalloys.

These castings are vital for components such as Fan Hub Frames and Intermediate Casings in Titanium alloys and Turbine Rear Frames in Superalloys, which are indispensable in aeroengines and industrial gas turbines. Beyond aeroengines, large Titanium castings are used extensively in aircraft, submarines, ultra-light artillery systems like the M777 ULH, strategic defence systems, and space applications.

This positions Aerolloy uniquely to expand its role in the global aerospace supply chain and reduce India's reliance on imported critical castings."

Strategic and Market Impact

The commissioning of the VAR furnace further strengthens Aerolloy's strategy of building globally rare and highly integrated capabilities. Combined with the VIM facility, Aerolloy and PTC now cover the complete chain-from Titanium alloy and superalloy materials to some of the largest investment castings for the most demanding applications.

This integration is expected to create efficiency, cost competitiveness, and supply chain resilience for global customers, while significantly enhancing India's aerospace and defence ecosystem.

With global demand for advanced Titanium and Superalloy materials expanding rapidly, Aerolloy is well positioned to capture opportunities in both domestic and international markets, aligning growth with the strategic objectives of supply chain security and technological self-reliance.

Global demand for aerospace-grade Titanium and Superalloys is growing rapidly, driven by advancements in commercial aviation, space exploration, and defence programs. This VAR commissioning positions Aerolloy to capture a significant share of these opportunities in both domestic and international markets, while aligning this growth with the strategic objectives of supply chain security and technological self-reliance.
