Welding technologies are going to exert a growing importance on new product frontiers in the effort to successfully face requests rising from increasingly exigent markets.

These requests can be translated into keywords like improved manufacturing efficiency, mass reduction, greater assembly accuracy, reduced inspection and qualification costs and improved repair and refurbishment methods.
As a matter of fact, only through such technologies as, for instance, Friction Stirr Welding, Laser Beam Welding, Hybrid Welding it is possible to solve challenging problems like joining together dissimilar materials or developing reliable solutions for environmental extreme conditions and heavy applications.
Their flexibility and technological level makes them fit to give high-tech solutions to most industrial sectors.
This favourable scenario makes relevant the role of a Research Centre as the producer of knowledge and expertise to be easily transferred to industry.
CSM must thus be considered a reliable partner for industry in virtue of the experience gained in supplying such advanced solutions to important customers in several industrial sectors, from Oil&gas to Aerospace&Defence.
