Composites Joining (Page 3)

Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials offer great advantages in manufacturing including increased crack resistance, elongation, and thermal shock resistance. Joining CMCs to other materials, however, can be a difficult process involving multiple steps. EWI has developed a one-step brazing method for joining CMC material to itself, metals, and other ceramics. This new technique is described...

There are many options available for evaluating the quality of polymer welds. It can be a challenge to select the best one for your application. Yet, choosing the appropriate evaluation method is an essential step in the development and production maintenance of a welding process. Recently EWI conducted research to compare several quantitative and qualitative polymer weld quality evaluation...

According to trend watcher Industry Week, the number of electric cars on the road is likely to triple in the next two years – from 3.7 million last year to 13 million by the end of the decade. As the automotive industry starts to embrace vehicle electrification, there is an increasing need for smarter, more...
