 TWI developed many of today's tried and tested techniques for arc welding, adhesive and mechanical joining, and cutting, and more recently novel advanced technologies such as friction stir welding, electron beam surface modification, automated laser cutting, cold spray deposition and sol-gel coatings.
 
 Developing and implementing strategies to avoid the failure of advanced structures and reduce risk, eg in deepwater offshore oil and gas risers, nuclear reactors and aeroengines.
 
 TWI has world-leading expertise in fatigue and fracture of welds, supported by sophisticated numerical modelling and world class integrity software packages.
 
 Technologies to develop and quantify understanding of weld microstructure-property relationships; material failure modes; and weldability/processibiilty without introducing flaws.
 
 This is supported by analysis and characterisation facilities and testing capability for corrosive service, hydrogen embrittlement and weldability.
