The integration of advanced high-strength steels in automotive body-in-white manufacturing has made vehicles lighter, improved crash performance, and reduced noise, vibration and harshness. However, the use of AHSS materials has also been correlated to spot weld cracking, especially with Gen 3 steel grades. EWI’s new H-coupon test was developed to assess the influence of gap...

Vehicle electrification systems are comprised of batteries, cables, inverters, motors, and other high-power electrical devices. Electric systems depend on the reliable interconnection of these components. Requirements go beyond joint strength; joints must be vibration resistant and have low electrical resistance, high current carrying capacity, and high thermal conductivity. EWI has worked on interconnects for different...
