Dissimilar Materials (Page 2)

With so many new materials available today for additive manufacturing (AM) production, how do you determine the best way to qualify your new feedstock? And is the AM method you want to use going to make a difference? These questions are discussed in Choices for Mechanical Testing for Qualification of Additive Manufacturing Processes, written by...

EWI is pleased to recognize the award of three U.S. patents to Alber Sadek, Senior Technology Leader of Materials Engineering: Patent 10,217,534 – Method of Joining Silicon Carbide Components to One AnotherThis new, simplified brazing approach eliminates the long heating time and pressure  thus making the joining process economically optimal in practice for manufacturing fuel...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have always been considered “unweldable,” and have been joined mechanically in the past. Now, however, EWI reports that aluminum MMCs can be joined using friction stir welding, a solid-state joining method. This investigation is discussed in Friction Stir Welding of Metal Matrix Composites, written by EWI Senior Engineer Michael Eff. You...
