PTC Industries Limited has announced a significant breakthrough in manufacturing technology for aero-engine components. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Aerolloy Technologies Limited, has successfully developed the most advanced casting technology for producing Single Crystal and Directionally Solidified blades and vanes for aero-engine and industrial gas turbine applications.
This achievement marks a major milestone for the Indian aerospace industry. Aerolloy Technologies has become the first company in the country to bring this cutting-edge casting technology to its shores. The company has established this manufacturing capability at its Lucknow facility.
“This technological know-how makes PTC the only company to have this capability in India and amongst very few in the world,” the company said. “This technology till now has been kept very closely guarded, and access to it has remained restricted for any country in the developing world.”
With this new capability, Aerolloy Technologies can produce Airfoils (blades and vanes) with complex internal hollow cooling passages while maintaining highly specialized microstructures like Single Crystal or Directionally Solidified. This technology is crucial for enhancing the efficiency, performance, and durability of aero-engine components.
This development is a testament to PTC Industries’ commitment to innovation and technological advancement. It positions the company as a key player in the global aerospace supply chain and opens up new opportunities for the Indian aerospace industry.
