The Welding Technologies Research Unit offers companies a set of technicians qualified as European engineers and Welding Inspectors with extensive experience in:

- Performance of studies on the weldability of any metallic material.
- Choice of the optimal parameters for steel welding.
- Study of the quality of welds.
- Evaluation in-service of welds under mechanical solicitations and aggressive environments.

It should be outlined the launching of the "Group of Welding Technologies" with significant inversions in infrastructure that include new machinery such as equipment for testing "disbonding" in welding, with a low bid in our country and of great importance for the petrochemical industry.

Application

- Definition of welding procedures.
- Study of the quality of welds.
- Evaluation in-service of welds under mechanical solicitations and aggressive environments.
- Microstructural and mechanical characterization of welds and overlays (zone of melt and HAZ).
- Study of in-service behaviour of welds under mechanical actions (static and dynamic) and environmental actions (corrosion and rust).
- Repair and recovery of equipment degraded by use.
- Analysis of in-service failures of welded components.
