The integrity and reliability of joints in lithium-ion battery packs is critically important to manufacturers in industries ranging from automotive to consumer electronics to aerospace. If battery packs fail, it can result in more than just a faulty product -- it can actually be a threat to public safety. Many welding techniques are used to...

Low force friction welding, a hybrid technology developed by EWI and MTI, uses an external energy source to raise the interface temperature of the parts being welded, reducing process forces required to make a solid-state weld compared to traditional friction welding. Low Force Friction Welding of Bimetallics: Aluminum 6061 to 1020 Steel Tubes, written by...

Interest in electromobility solutions for aviation these days is, ahem, skyrocketing, especially for propulsion systems geared toward electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) technology. With applications ranging from drones to unmanned aerial systems already in play, passenger vehicles are set to be the next commercial application. EWI has long been an innovator in vehicle electrification...
