Additive Manufacturing (Page 7)

Common aerospace materials such as high-nickel alloys (such as René 80) or high-strength aluminum alloys (6000 and 7000 series) are not currently manufactured using additive manufacturing (AM) due to hot cracking.  As part of a $5M Department of Energy program, EWI, GE Research, and the University of South Carolina developed a model to predict and...

Additive manufacturing (AM) continues to grow in popularity as manufacturing firms develop better understanding of how to extract value from the expensive process. Designers and engineers continue to add complexity into components to tip the cost/value balance in favor of AM, as well as to gain additional benefits from light weighting, reduced assembly efforts, better...

EWI has considerable experience developing and modifying ICME approaches for manufacturing applications. These predictive tools can be used to improve process parameter selection, predict microstructure and properties, and more. Alex Kitt, EWI Director of Data Science, has written AM Applications of Analytical Methods to Predict Thermal Excursions for Continuous Joining Processes, to present a case...
