Resistance-based sintering is a highly effective method for consolidating metal powders that combines the use of axial pressure with a flowing, high-intensity current without the need for atmospheric chambers. EWI began developing this technique a couple of years ago in an effort to replace spark plasma sintering. Our team made use of its considerable resistance […]
Read MoreEWI is pleased to welcome Oetiker Group to membership. Headquartered in Switzerland, with locations in more than 25 countries, Oetiker provides connecting solutions for the vehicle industry and for applications in industrial segments including clamps, rings, straps, and quick connectors ranging from powertrain and drivetrain applications to medical applications.
Read MoreIn the energy sector, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is poised to play a key role in achieving many forward-thinking policy and industrial goals. Creating and ensuring a safe, sound CO2 transmission system, however, will not be easy. There are many technical issues to address and solve. EWI Principal Engineer and Research Leader Joshua […]
Read MoreIntegrated computational materials engineering (ICME) is an ever-growing field of study providing tools that can be directly applied to a range of manufacturing processes. Analytical modeling frameworks for assessing thermal excursions comprise a key element of welding ICME. A useful subset of these frameworks can be employed to understand thermal excursions in welding and joining. […]
Read MoreEmerging materials such as high-strength aluminum alloys, advanced high-strength steels (AHSS), and GEN3 steel have been increasingly applied in sheet metal forming components. These materials are known to have unique elastic and plastic material behaviors which create new challenges for engineers and designers. One of the behaviors is springback. Springback challenges include difficulties predicting, controlling, […]

If you were unable to attend, you can still view this recorded presentation – for free and on your own time – by completing the form below. Yes, I would like access […]
Read MoreAs the energy sector expands its efforts to find economically viable methods to produce carbon-neutral power, EWI has broadened its capabilities to address this area of concern. Recently, we have reported about our work in materials evaluation for H2 service and our new hydrogen testing lab, as well as our efforts to apply our expertise […]
Read MoreCombining video with data acquisition programs can deliver a highly sophisticated tool for diagnosing potential problems and making adjustments while fabrication is in process. There are existing high-speed camera (HSC) and data acquisition (DAQ) systems that have been custom-built, but to-date these have been cumbersome to operate and commercially unsupported. EWI has developed a new, […]
Read MoreFour EWI associates have co-authored chapters in POWER ULTRASONICS: APPLICATIONS OF HIGH-INTENSITY ULTRASOUND, 2nd Edition, edited by Juan Gallego-Juarez, Karl Graff, and Margaret Lucas: Lindsey Lindamood and Mitch Matheny contributed to Chapter 10, “Ultrasonic Welding of Metals.” Miranda Marcus was a co-author on Chapter 11, “Ultrasonic Welding of Plastics and Polymeric Composites.” Amin Moghaddas co-wrote […]
