MELIAD

MELIAD is a French industrial engineering company specializing in advanced material processes for aerospace and high-integrity industries. Originally founded as a residual stress measurement laboratory, MELIAD has developed a unique combination of expertise in material and surface analysis, residual stress characterization, laser surface treatment, and robotic integration.

For aerospace testing and development, MELIAD supports OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and MRO organizations in understanding and controlling material behavior throughout the product lifecycle. Its laboratory capabilities include advanced surface and material analysis techniques, such as X-ray diffraction, Barkhausen noise inspection, and complementary methods, enabling precise evaluation of fatigue-critical components and process-induced effects.

In parallel, MELIAD develops and qualifies laser-based surface engineering processes for bonding preparation, coating removal, and pre/post-weld treatment, ensuring repeatability and compliance with aerospace standards.

By combining testing, surface characterization, process development and robotic deployment, MELIAD helps aerospace manufacturers improve reliability, performance, and production efficiency.
