With its expertise and unique testing infrastructure, the Weld Mechanics division is dedicated to the study of the material behaviour, taking into account full-scale components.

The emphasis is on the thermal, mechanical, and corrosive loads of welded components during fabrication and in service.

We evaluate the integrity of welded joints at the component scale as well as on laboratory specimens.

Our research activities focus on quantifying the relationships between material and design.
