Results in the field
With 185 active patent families, Constellium has a proven track record in creating new products and processes to satisfy market needs. Our knowledge hub boasts significant results. Scores of new aluminium products and designs are now making a difference across diverse industries.
Constellium is at the origin of many standards in the aluminium industry and has therefore been involved in a joint project with AFNOR (French standardization body) to develop the AluTool.
The tool compiles European general and applications standards for the aluminium industry. The manual features basic information on aluminium standards, while the software provides access to a fuller range of information on the various alloy families and their applications, chemical composition and mechanical characteristics.
Key-fact
Innovation at Constellium is bolstered by more than 150 R&D specialists, 11 technology networks and an innovation unit (Innovation Cells), with strong links to external scientific networks and other stakeholders.
