GTAW In-process Monitoring Techniques for Electronic and Medical Device Applications
Electronic and medical device manufacturers not only require joining processes capable of producing small-scale welds of high quality, but also reliable methods of nondestructively assessing them. While real-time monitoring is well-developed for small-scale resistance welding, small-scale laser welding has no viable option. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) presents an alternative welding approach with greater potential […]

Gas tungsten arc welding is an approach for microjoining with great potential for weld quality assessment solutions. EWI has developed a technique for real-time monitoring of micro-GTAW welds using commercially available equipment.
Read MoreChallenges facing additive manufacturing of medical devices
Today’s edition of Device Talk, from Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry, describes some of the challenges facing device manufacturers contemplating the production of implantables through additive manufacturing processes. The questions raised in the article are appropriate, as no one would condone use of an additive manufactured implant if the manufacturer could not validate that the […]
