Constellium SE announced the signing of a partnership agreement with PyroGenesis Canada Inc. to test the use of plasma torch technology to support Constellium?s decarbonization roadmap. After successful first laboratory trials, Constellium and PyroGenesis have now entered an agreement to test this technology at industrial scale with the implementation of a demonstrator plasma-heated furnace system in one of Constellium?s casthouses. A plasma torch operates by generating an electric arc that ionizes gas, creating a superheated plasma.

This plasma, with temperatures surpassing traditional methods, offers a faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burners. PyroGenesis is a leader in the development of advanced plasma technologies.
