The Ariane 6 rocket has been launched!
CRM Group is very proud to have played its part in the successful maiden flight of the Ariane 6 rocket. Indeed, with the support of the European Space Agency (ESA), we developed innovative thermal management systems for the Ariane 6 rocket. Using Phase Change Material (PCM) technology, these advanced damping units are designed to store and release heat efficiently.
Join us for our next CRM Workshop
On October 15, take part in our event “Understanding for better prevention: diagnosis and solutions for your metal parts”.
How can you prevent your metal parts from failing? With what methods and materials? Come and meet our specialists in corrosion, non-destructive testing and materials selection, and discover what 75 years of expertise in metal can do for you.
Come and discuss your real-life cases with our experts and explore best practices for maximizing the durability and performance of your components.

Wallonia spotlights PyroTeCnIC project
WallonieBE has produced a very informative video highlighting our Plasma furnace at the Hydrométal site, a very important partnership which is showing results. This project aims to transform the industrial sector through innovations in pyrometallurgy and intelligent packaging.
Our colleague Laurent Fraikin explains how PyroTeCnIC aims to advance preconditioning techniques to improve resource efficiency and create a solid infrastructure for diversified and scalable recycling processes.
What's new in terms of equipment at CRM Group?
Numerical Modelling of hot Forming / Forging
FORGE is a software dedicated to the numerical modelling of forging process. It allows to calculate in 3D the heating or cooling of parts, the forging phases, as well as the transformation of material phases. Steel, Aluminium and Titanium alloys are currently the main materials used.
Pre-Processing Capabilities
Many co-products or wastes are in the form of a powder or sludge/paste that is difficult to handle or use in a recovery process. In order to remedy this situation, blending and agglomeration processes play an important role.
