  Research and development
Steel solutions for a competitive future.
 
  Located in Le Creusot, the CRMC (Centre de Recherche des Matériaux du Creusot), our Research Center is a world class partner to respond to new market requirements with innovative products and high value solutions, continuously improving the durability, fabricability and in-service performance of our products in process equipments, machinery and structural applications ...
 
  Innovation Processes is supported by a high level of expertise in the fields of:
  Metallurgy and materials development
Corrosion and high temperature resistance
Fracture mechanics, creep, fatigue...
Hydrogen effects in steel
Welding metallurgy
Abrasion and wear resistance...
 
  Based upon:
    Extensive laboratory testing, metallurgical investigation and field test performance
Networking with universities and industrial materials research teams
Expertise on material behaviour during service
 
  Recently developed solutions include:
    Weldable supermartensitic steels for offshore applications: SUPERMAX
