Directed Energy Deposition (Page 2)

EWI’s Green Laser Capability for Electrification, Copper Welding, and DED By Jacob Hay The use of industrial lasers for manufacturing has been gaining popularity for decades as laser sources have improved in efficiency and reliability. A properly selected laser energy source combined with the right system can offer great flexibility, providing varying energy densities, wavelengths, and...

Precise control of the wire electrode or “tool-point” position is critical in gas metal arc welding and arc directed energy deposition. Newly developed elliptical wire technology (EWT) offers improvements in tool-point control. Recently, EWI completed a study of EWT, comparing many of its features against standard round-wire electrode feedstock. The promising results are discussed in...

If you are interested in EWI’s latest R&D for applied manufacturing, you can hear about it directly from our engineers throughout the month of March. EWI specialists will share new findings and applications at the following public forums and conferences over the next several weeks: LaMorte Women in Welding Virtual Conference, March 16, 2023 –...
