TWI offers a broad range of advice and testing in relation to weldability, particularly for new materials, new welding processes and new operating conditions, which assists its Industrial Member companies in developing new products and establishing competitive advantage.

We provide:

• Expertise in control of the welding process to avoid all forms of fabrication flaws: hydrogen cracking, solidification cracking, reheat cracking, liquation cracking, ductility dip cracking, micro-fissuring and lack of fusion
• Weldability testing: CTS tests, Y-groove tests, implant tests, Houldcroft tests, variestraint tests, welding simulation tests
• Establishing suitability for service via appropriate, bespoke mechanical, corrosion, stress corrosion and corrosion fatigue testing
