Read MoreEWI’s next Fundamentals of Welding Engineering class is scheduled for August 8-12, 2016. This five-day course provides engineers and technicians an overview of the various aspects of welding technology. The course is organized into modules discussing welding processes, welding metallurgy and weldability, welding design and testing (including mechanical testing and NDT), and qualifications and procedure […]
Read MoreRoot-cause failure analyses allow manufacturers, fabricators, and operators to make well-informed choices regarding repair strategies and the mitigation of future failures. While the oil and gas industry has established an impressive safety record over many years of operation, failures do occur. The analysis and subsequent prevention of these failures is a complex multidisciplinary activity requiring […]
Read MoreOn Saturday, March 5th, EWI and OSU’s Welding Engineering program hosted an 8-hour Boys Scout Welding Merit Badge clinic. The participants received hands-on instruction in gas metal arc welding and were coached and evaluated on their welding skill using the Lincoln Electric RealWeld System. They also learned about thermal cutting and non-arc welding processes, first aid, […]
